Converting agricultural waste (bagasse) into charcoal briquettes (alternate cooking fuel) through unused /unusable liquefied petroleum gas (lpg) cylinders employing a frugal engineering approach

摘要

The application for grant of patent therefore lies in proposing a frugal innovation approach to bridge the gap between the availability of large numbers of unused/unusable LPG cylinders (readily available materials) through which such a known, in practice labour oriented technology (with available local labour and their simple machines/devices/tools) could develop and tap in to the opportunity of creating self employment at least at the rural level/s in the manufacturing of such alternate cooking fuel.
