FLAMELESS NANO BURNER FOR HIGH EFFICIENCY & LOW POLLUTION

WORLD IS ON THE BRINK OF AN ENERGY CRISES:BEFORE EVEN THE RUSSIA-UKRAIN WAR, ENERGY HAS BEEN IN SHORT SUPPLY. GLOBAL WARMING RESULTING IN CLIMATE CHANGE HAS ADDED A SENSE OF URGENCY. NEARLY 100 YEARS OF ADDITION TO OIL & GAS HAS BROUGHT HOME THE HARD REALITY THAT ENERGY SOURCES ARE DWINDLING. 

LPG IS A HOUSEHOLD FUEL FOR COOKING IN MILLION OF FAMILIES. WE HAVE NEVER BOTHERED ABOUT ITS EFFICIENCY OR COST. NOW THE TIME HAS COME TO TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THE SAME. AS ALL FUEL PRICES ARE GOING THROUGH THE ROOF, THERE IS A DUAL CHALLENGE OF :

1. DECREASING THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION TO REDUCE COSTS

2. REDUCE POLLUTION & CARBON EMISSION LEVELS TO REDUCE GLOBAL WARMING

OUR UNIQUE, NOVEL, FIRST OF ITS TYPE FLAMELESS NANO BURNER IS ABLE TO SOLVE BOTH THE ABOVE PROBLEMS BY A SINGLE SOLUTION.

OUR RESEARCH IN TO COMBUSTION OF GASEOUS FUELS HAS IDENTIFIED THE MAJOR SOURCE OF HEAT LOSSES :

RADIATION  LOSSES FROM THE FLAME  TO THE OUTSIDE SURROUNDINGS   ARE AROUND 70%

CONVECTION LOSSES ARE AROUND 20%. 

HENCE, THE NET BURNER  EFFICIENCY =JUST 10%

THIS IS SPECIFICALLY APPLIED TO HOUSEHOLD LPG BURNER. 

NOW, SOLUTIONS CONSISTS OF REDUCING THE 90% LOSSES :

1. BY ELIMINATING THE FLAME ITSELF

2. BY CAPTURING THE SURROUNDING THERMAL ENERGY & STORING IT

3. TRANSMITTING THE HEAT ONLY THROUGH CONDUCTION

NET RESULT : EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT FROM 10% TO 90%

                    POLLUTION REDUCTION BY 80%

                    LPG CONSUMPTION IS DRASTICALLY REDUCED BY 80%

                    LPG CYLINDER THAT LASTS JUST 2 MONTHS WILL NOW LAST FOR 18 MONTHS.  

IN INDIA THRE ARE AROUND 40 MILLION LPG HOUSEHOLD CONNECTIONS. 

IN SPITE OF THE GOVT OF INDIA EFFORTS TO GIVE FREE STOVE & SUBSIDIESED CYLINDER, MARGINALISED PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD. SUBSIDY BURDEN IS ESTIMATED TO BE AROUND 25,000 CRORES/YEAR = 3.3 BILLION US$.

BY OUR INVENTION, THIS SUBSIDY CAN BE REDUCED BY 80% = 20,000 CRORES = 2.6 BILLION US$/YEAR. 

USERS WILL SAVE 80% OF THEIR REGULAR LPG FUEL BILLS. COINCIDENTALLY, INDOOR POLLUTION WHICH IS A MAJOR KILLER ALSO REDUCED  BY 80%.

UNDER UJJWALA SCHEME, MILLIONS OF HOUSEHOLDS WERE GIVEN FREE CONNECTIONS SO THAT THEY CAN SWITCH FROM POLLUTING BIOMASS FUELS TO LPG. BUT, 60% OF THESE BENEFICIERIES CANNOT STILL AFFORD TO SPEND 600 Rs=8 US$ FOR A CYLINDER. OUR SOLUTION CAN REDUCE THEIR COST & MAKE IT AFFORDABLE FOR LIFE TIME. 

PEOPLE & GOVT.,-ALL STAKEHOLDERS BENEFIT. INDIA IS THE SECOND BIGGEST 

IMPORTER OF LPG IN THE WORLD NEXT TO JAPAN.

ENVIRONMENT BENEFITS BY REDUCED CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS. 

THERE IS A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY OF EARNING CARBON CREDITS FOR THE PROJECT DUE TO REDUCED CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS.

N.B.:1 Kg LPG BURNS TO EMIT 6 Kgs OF CARBON DIOXIDE AS EMISSIONS.

I AM 68 YEARS YOUNG WITH 48 YEARS OF INDUSTRIAL PRACTICE. MY TEAM WAS BORN DECADES AGO TO EXECUTE NOVEL, INNOVATIVE PROJECTS WHICH ARE FIRST OF ITS TYPE IN THE WORLD. EXAMPLES ARE :

1. MICRO & NANO BUBBLE TECHNOLOGY FOR WASTE WATER TREATMENT-2017

2. LIQUID GLUCOSE FROM DRY MILLION OF MAIZE-2000

3. MOLECULAR DISTILLATION OF RICE BRAN OIL-1992

WE COUPLE RARE ABILITIES : DEEP SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE 

                                            + DOWN TO EARTH PRACTICE

DESIGN, ENGINEERING, MATERIALS, TESTING, ASSEMBLY & COMMISSIONING ARE OUR A to Z CAPABILITIES. HENCE, WE ARE CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS.

WE HAVVE ALREADY BEEN HIGHLY APPRECIATED BY ONGC & OIL COMPANIES.

 IT HAS BEEN EVALUATED & TERM SHEET SIGNED FOR INVESTMENT. 

I MADE IT A CONDITION FOR THEM THAT, THE BENEFIT SHOULD GO DIRECTLY TO THE NEEDY, MARGNIALISED & POOR FOR WHICH THEY SHOULD TAKE THE INITIATIVE THROUGH THE GOVT. THIS WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO THEM.

I HAVE NO REGRETS. 

I AM APPLYING TO MIT - SOLVE, SO AS TO GET SOME FEED BACK ON THE IDEA & ALSO IF ANY INVESTORS CAN FUND THE PROTOTYPE. 

FOR NEARLY A 100 YEARS, LPG BURNER HAS NOT CHANGED A BIT. HUMAN CIVILSIATION HAS ADVANCED A LOT IN ALL FIELD OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE, EXPERIENCE & UNDERSTANDING. 

LOOK AT THE SYSTEM : A RUBBER HOSE PIPE, SMALL HOLOES IN THE BURNER HEAD & A ON-OFF VALVE. NOTHING MORE. HEAT TRANSFER AS A SCIENCE, HAS IMPROVED A LOT IN A CENTURY. IN LARGE FURNACES, OVENS, KILNS etc., WHERE LARGE QUANTITY OF FUELS ARE BUILT WERE SUFFERING FROM HIGH ENERGY COSTS. THEY HAVE DONE MANY IMPROVEMENTS IN DESIGN, ENGINEERING, MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION, FARBRICATION etc., WHICH HAS BROUGHT DOWN THE HEAT LOSSES SIGNIFICANTLY SO THAT ENERGY CONSUMPTION IS REDUCED. 

WHY CANNOT BE APPLY THE SAME KNOWLEDGE TO THE HOUSEHOLD LPG BURNER TO ACHIEVE SIMILAR RESULTS ?

THAT IS WHAT I HAVE DONE. HENCE, IT IS INNOVATIVE, FIRST OF ITS TYPE IN THE WORLD, IMPACTS THE LIFE OF EVERY HOUSEHOLD.

TO THE BEST OF OUR KNOWLEDGE, THRE IS NO SUCH EQUIVALENT PRODUCT ANY WHERE IN THE WOLRD INCLUDING ALL ADVANCED COUNTRIES.

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. BUT, THE BASIC THEORY IS STRONG.

FIRST YEAR : PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT 

SECOND YEAR : FIELD TESTING, MODIFICATION OF THE PRODUCT IN THE LIGHT OF THE FEED BACK FROM USERS.

THIRD YEAR : ESTABLISHING A FACTORY AT BANGALORE FOR MANUFACTURING 

FOURTH YEAR : CONCENTRATE ON DOMESTIC INDIAN MARKET WHICH IS HUGE

FIFTH YEAR : GLOBAL MARKET PENETRATION

FIRST YEAR : WORKABLE PROTOTYPE FOR FIELD TESTING

SECOND YEAR : IMPROVED VERSION FOR HIGH CONSUMER ACCEPTANCE

THRID YEAR : MANUFACTURING PLANT SHOULD BE READY

FOURTH YEAR : PENETATION OF INDIAN MARKET 

FIFTH YEAR : PENETRATION OF GLOBAL MARKET WITH NO. 1 POSITION.

CHANGE IS LIFE & LIFE IS CHANGE. 

MY PHILOSOPHY IS ALWAYS TO KEEP MYSELF ENGAGED WITH CHALLENGES. NOTHING GREAT WAS EVER ACHIEVED WITHOUT ENTHUSIASM. OPTIMISM IS THE ENTERNAL FOUNTAINHEAD OF LIFE. FAILURES ARE A MUST & ARE THE STEPPING STONES FOR SUCCESS. UNLESS YOU TRY SO MANY TIMES THAT FAILURE IS ELIMINATED IT AUTOMATICALLY IT BECOMES SUCCESS.

THOMAS ALVA EDISON SAID : GENIUS IS ONE PERCENT INSPIRATION & 99 PERCENT PERSPIRATION. 

SYSTEMATIC HARD WORK AUTOMATICALLY REDUCES THE CHANCES OF FAILURE AT EVERY STAGE PROGRESSIVELY & SUCCESS IS ACHIEVED. 

HENRY FORD FAILED 5 TIMES IN HIS EFFORT TO SET UP A CAR FACTORY. 

ULTIMATELY, IN 6TH ATTEMPT, HE SUCCEEDED.

1. HEAT TRANSFER & THERMAL ENGINEERING

2. COMBUSTION TECHNOLOGY 

3. NOVEL MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION

4. FABRICATION OF NOVEL MATERIALS

5. PRECISION TOOLING 

6. INFRA-RED IMAGING 

7. SENSORS FOR MEASUREEMENT

THIS APPROACH HAS BEEN ALREADY APPLIED IN LARGE FURNACES, OVENS & KILNS WHERE LARGE QUANTITY OF FUELS ARE USED FOR PROCESSES IN METALLURGY. EFFORTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO RECOVER THE HEAT & REUSE SO THAT ENERGY REQUIREEMNTS COME DOWN DRASTICALLY. 

HOWEVER, THIS APPROACH HAS NOT BEEN APPLIED FOR DEVELOPING A SIMPLE DOMESTIC LPG BURNER DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE MARKET. IN THOSE DAYS, EENERGY WAS CHEAP & IT WORKED. NOW ENERGY IS COSTLY & SIMPLY NOT AVAILABLE AT ALL. FUTURE IS STILL UNCERTAIN.

NOVEL MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION ARE BECOMING AVAILABLE WITH INTERESTING PROPERTIES. THESE CAN BE TAILOR MADE TO THE APPLICATION. THIS LEADS TO HIGH EFFICIENCY, SMALL SIZE & LOWER COST. WE HAVE EMPLOYED THESE NOVEL MATERIALS FOR CONSTRUCTION.

YOU CANNOT  PREVENT A MAN GOING TO TOILET & WHO HAS GOT TALENT-ANANYMOUS

MY TALENT LIES IN : IDENTIFYING THE TALENT 

                               DEPLOYING THAT TALENT IN MY PROJECT

                               GROOM  THE TALENT 

                                YOU WILL GET THE BEST

NOTHING ELSE SHOULD STAND IN THE WAY : GENDER, KNOWLEDGE, DEGREES, EXPERIENCE, CLASS, RACE, RELIGION-NOTHING MATTERS

IF YOU BUILD A DIVERSE TEAM FOR THE SAKE OF DIVERSITY, YOU WILL END UP SACRIFYING THE BEST TALENT. TALENT HAS NO BOUNDARIES. 

PRODUCT IS A DURABLE PRODUCT WHICH IS REQUIRED BY EVERY HOUSEHOLD. SELLING THEM IS A DIFFICULT PROBLEM. A COMPANY WHICH IS WELL ESTABLISHED IN MAKING KITCHEN EQUIPMENTS & HOUSEHOLOD DURABLES CAN DO THIS. CONVINCING THEM IS ALSO NOT AN EASY TASK. 

I AM TARGETTING THE MOST VULNERABLE, POOR POPULATION IN THE RURAL AREA & URBAN AREAS, WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM THIS PRODUCT. GOVT. OF INDIA HAS THE WORLDS LARGEST LPG SUPPLY PROGRAM :UJJWALA. WE WOULD LIKE TO TIE UP WITH THEM THROUGH THE PETROLEUM MINISTRY WITH PARTICIPATION FROM ALL THE 3 MAJOR OIL COMPANIES. THEY HAVE A READY INFRA-STRUCTURE OF LPG DEALERS/MARKETERS WHO HAVE ACCESS TO MILLIONS OF POOR PEOPLE. WE CAN GET LARGE VOLUMES TO REALLY MAKE THE IMPACT. 

SIMULTANEOUSLY, WE WILL DEVELOP THE PRIVATE MARKET BY APPROACHING THE LEADERS IN APPLIANCE MARKET. THERE ARE AROUND A DOZEN LEADING MANUFACTURERS OF HOUSE HOLD/KITCHEN APPLIANCES. WE WILL CONTACT THEM, CONVINCE THEM BY DEMONSTRATIONS & TRIALS. 

WE ARE LOOKING FOR :

1. GRANT - IN - AID FOR PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT & DEPLOYMENT

2. V.C. FOR MANUFACTURING & MARKETING 

INDIA HAS NOW, THE 3rd LARGEST ENTREPRENEURIAL ECO-SYSTEM IN THE WORLD WITH MORE THAN 1 LAKH START-UPS WORKING ON DIVERSE FIELDS FROM DRONES TO ROCKETS. INVESTORS ARE ALSO SCOUTING AROUND FOR GREAT INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES SUCH AS OURS. WE WILL MAKE THIS PRESENTATION TO INVESTORS WHO ARE KEEN TO INVEST IN ENERGY, CLEAN TECHNOLOGY etc., IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME & EFFORT TO GET THE OPPORTUNITY.
