Innovation Description
Doctorate in wind energy from Roorkee University. Without external support, he has designed several low-cost devices
Energy Conservation In Agricultural Pump-sets:
In this method a diverging section is fitted to the discharge end. The length of the divergent – truncated cone is about 1 foot with about 10 degrees angle to avoid separation in the diverging section. As the loss of Kinetic Energy is proportional to the square of the velocity, this arrangement would lead to considerable saving of power.
