A farmer in Northern Ireland has put his cow on a treadmill, coupled it to a generator and is producing about 2kW of electricity per 8 hours of exercise – and increases milk yield to boot.
And all villages and farmers in TN (& all over India) have cows and bullocks and are crying for electricity. Why not a Government sponsored program to harvest this innovation?
Is Dr. Farooq Abdullah, the Minister of New and Renewable Energy sources keeping his eyes open?
[BTW the Ministry doesn’t even have a website – must be a ‘new’ way to run a ministry].
Yeah, PETA and Maneka Gandhi might protest, but then, livestock in India have always been put to work as draught animals and this would be nothing different.
Ploughing Fields
Milling Oil seeds (Chekku)
Pack donkey
a bullock cart
a buffalo cart
