New DelhiThe energy of India is amply shown off when people decide to harness the power of energy, instead of waiting for the power lines to work.
Abid is an inventor who has created something that looks like a charkha, but it spins out lot more than cloth.
A fan a radio a tape player, a TV and four tubelights all powered by a man who never studied beyond second class.
On first look its simple enough a cheap rubber belt looped onto a grooved wheel. However, the moving wheel turrns a motor which in turn produces electricity.
But the beauty as always is in the details.
There are no magnets inside the DC current of this charkha and it cannot give an electric shock.
Water doesn't damage it and its got enough juice to light up a small home all for just Rs 7000.
"My wife doesn't speak to me because she says that I am too involved in my work. I reply that I am trying to do something constructive for my country," says Abid.
Like all inventors Abid is never short of ideas - a battery bike That runs fifty kilometers, a stun gun to protect women and a generator that winds up like a clock they are all projects he is working on and finally like all inventors he is happiest when his gadgets work for others.
