CHAT IN BELIZE, ON HOW TO PRODUCE ELECTRICITY VIA AUTOMATIC RUN STEAM ENGINES AND BOILERS. USING E-CAT TECHNOLOGY ION HEATER CATAYLIZERS

Desai

The first two video links, seem to be malformed and unoperative. I got the 3rd one working, very nice video. Liked it. I mounted the video on my blog, I think? My web skills in that line are limited.


Looking at your boiler construction using flat plate, was informative. I had never thought of that. You seem to have a triangular outfit, with a rectangulaR boiler in the top, and the fire below. Concerning E-Cat heating technology, it looks like one could make a 10ft by 9 ft base, in order to insert, heater ion catalyzer tubes in the bottom and if you had ascending coiled pipe, running around in circles in the triangle shaped container, up into the overhead water tank, the steam producing function could become automatic? Just let the water come in the bottom pipe and ascend from heating, up to the boiler. You presumably could get a lot of ion catalyst heaters into that square footage base, sufficient to get enough heat to get the pressures required? For a stationary unit, with water feed from an overhead tank resevoir, pumped up from a river. I do wonder yet, as a curious amateur, how you could allow replacement water to enter, without dropping temperature. Also how you get a cap on steam pressure, for safety at 200 psi. I also wonder of what material you bolted it all together. Presumably with gaskets? Looks very plausible. Licking the boiler problem for me, using the E CAT heating tubes would be necessary, as much as possible, because labor is expensive in this country, if available. Frequency control, is something I have read about, for feeding the national grid, but know little about the subject. It must be possible? If I remember rightly you said 600 rpm maximum for the steam engine. This presumably varies with the steam pressure?

Feeding the national grid is the whole point of the mental research excercise. One could with an automatic operation, fill the 55% shortfall in our country of Belize of production of electricity, which we buy mostly from Mexico at prices that vary with the world price of oil. With a mostly automatic operation, you could price electricity below what we buy from Mexico and have a business.

STEAM ENGINES FOR HUMAN HAPPINESS
Dear friends,

I have seen the photographs sent by you. I should clarify that practically only my steam engines are cheap enough to be afforded by people. I know Peter Carlich since many years as most genuine manufacturer. But his cost is very high. He does not make bigger 10 to 20 hp engines. So practically I am only person to supply steam engines. Just 2 days back, I sent steam power plant of 8 hp-3kva to France. Next order is from Pakistan. My power plants are not automatic. Continuous manual feeding of wood or biomass to boiler is essential. Moreover, electricity generated in these power plants cannot be fed into grid as steam engine are without governors. But, these steam power plants are highly suitable for agro processing activity by connecting steam engines directly to oil expeller, sugar cane crusher, rice huller, water pump for irrigation etc. Of course, electricity also can be generated and used to drive motors as a captive power plant. Frequency can vary a little bit which does not harm in normal working. But in a grid feeding, frequency variation is not allowed. So, it can work as independent power plant.

MY WORLD VISION FOR STEAM ENGINES

I am enemy of all big industries.

So I am enemy of big power plants also.

To produce power is simple thing.

small steam engine and boiler can produce power.

Connect generator with it and you produce electricity.

It is simple to produce 5 to 10 hp steam engine.

It is simple to make small wind turbines.

It is simple to make parabolic collectors which produce solar steam.

Any trained rural technician can do it.

Multiply by 250 million and you will have plenty of power everywhere in the world.

So giant thermal power plants and atomic power plants are not required.

Complicated technology makes simple thing complicated.



I believe in home scale family size industries.

It is simple to make cloth.

Dhaka's MULMUL(very fine cloth) was produced on simple tools worth 50 dollars.

It is still not produced by sophisticated textile mills.

So textile mills are not required.

Gin your cotton in the farm,

Spin your cotton in your farm,

Weave your yarn in your village.

5hp steam engine or 3 kw wind turbine will do the job.

This much will increase rural wealth by 8 times.

Multiply by 50 million and you will produce cloth for entire world.

Baling the cotton reduces durability of cloth by 20%.

Half the machinery of textile mill is to break the bale.

Remember, centralization creates complications.

Complicated technology makes simple thing complicated.



Big sugar factories are evils. ( I worked as MD of sugar factory before 30 years.)

Sugar is harmful to health.

Jaggery is hygienic.

It is simple to produce jaggery.

10hp steam engine can drive sugarcane crusher to crush 24 tonnes/day.

Boiling the juice makes delicious jaggery.

Multiply such units by one million and entire world can enjoy sweets everyday.

one tone sugarcane gives 140 kg jaggery,

But one tonne sugarcane gives only 100 kg sugar.

So sugar factories waste 30 million tonnes molasses making it non edible.

So sugar factories are not required.

Complicated technology makes simple thing complicated.

It is simple to produce rice from paddy.

5hp steam engine can drive rice huller to mill 5 tonnes of paddy in 12 hours.

Rice husks can make steam to drive steam engine.

So you become independent of external power.

Multiply such units by one million and entire world can enjoy rice locally.
Big rice mills waste millions of tonnes of precious food in the name of polishing.

Polished rice is harmful to health.

Unpolished rice is really nutritious and hygienic.
So big rice mills are evils.
So big rice mills are not required.

Complicated technology makes simple thing complicated.



It is simple to press any oilseed and to get oil.

It is simple to provide pure natural fresh edible oil to all.

10 hp steam engine can run small oil expeller with filter press.

Multiply by one million and all the oilseeds of the world will be crushed.

Big oil mills and refineries are evils.

They exploit the people, adulterate oil, cause cancer by refining oil.

Complicated technology makes simple thing complicated.



Cement is not mysterious product.

Burn limestone powder with clay by coal dust and you get cement.

It is simple to produce cement and lime.

10hp steam engine will make limestone powder.

Multiply by 2 million and all the people will get cement at negligible cost.

Giant cement plants are not essential for it.

Complicated technology makes simple thing complicated.


Water pumping is backbone of our agriculture and irrigation.
5 to 10 Hp steam engine can do excellent job of water pumping from shallow wells and ponds.
We are unnecessarily depend on grid power.
For submersible pumps, we can produce our electricity by steam engines.
Freedom from grid power is the most valuable freedom.
Let us strive for freedom from governments, freedom from big companies.
Let us enjoy independence, freedom and liberty through localization.



British Empire was built and was expanded simply by steam engines.

Present globalization and centralization can be broken simply by small steam engines.

Ultimately steam will be produced by solar concentrators.



In this picture, no big factories, no big companies, no multinational corporations. No land acquisition of land. No displacement of people.

Local production and local consumption. Minimum transport.

No big cities, no exploitation,no billionaires.

Small farms, small farmers. Self reliant SWADESHI life style.

Everybody works, everybody enjoys tension free happy life.

People become stronger, Government becomes weaker.

This is true democracy.





This is what Mahatma Gandhi wanted. He asserted that "Precondition of happy society is that all the means of production of primary needs of people must be in the hands of common masses." Do not centralize it. He also asserted "We must learn how to make appropriate use of steam and electricity."



We have betrayed Gandhiji and we are betraying him at every moment.

We are killing Gandhiji at every moment.



Sooner or later, entire world has to go on this path.

If Europe and America can adopt this path, world will become paradise.

MY ENERGY CONVICTIONS



(1) The ensuing energy revolution throughout the world will drive out most of the evils created by industrial revolution of the last century.i.e. Poverty, unemployment, hunger, disparity, urbanization, pollution, terrorism, war, centralization etc will be reduced to the minimum.



(2) Days of MW power have gone. Present century is for KW power. Energy revolution is poised to decentralization of not only energy production but also of all the industrial activity in the world.



(3)Power plants up to10 kw generated by steam, solar, wind biogas or any other source is human, cheap, simple viable, manageable and beneficial to the humanity. Bigger than 10 kw is unhuman, costly, complicated, unmanagable and harmful to the society as it gives rise to the exploitation and other evils.



(4) It is possible to devise all industrial activity of the world with 10 kw power or less.



(5) It is possible to create the world without grid power lines.



(6) If grid exists after 2 decades, electricity will flow in reverse direction i.e. from rural areas to big cities.



(7) Steam power is coming back very fast and all the agricultual processing such as oil milling, sugarcane crushing, cotton ginning, rice milling, wood working will be shifted on steam power.





(8) Solar thermal power plants of 10 kw or below will be millions in one or two decades.



(9) Once the technology of making Photovoltaic solar cells is known, it will be left hand job for every Indian skillful woman to manufacture it at home no matter she may be illiterate. Then real home scale industries for every primary needs will blossom.



(10) Transport will be reduced to minimum at the end of 21 century.

MY BASIC CONVICTIONS

Mahatma Gandhi's inspiring thinking on industries combined with my practical experience of 30 years as Mechanical Engineer has carved the following Basic Convictions in my heart.

(1) All the dreadful problems appearing nowadays in the world such as unemployment, hunger, exploitation, disparity, polution, urbanisation, war, terrorism etc. are direct result of heavy and centralized industries.
(2) The modern civilization based on wasteful expenditure of natural resources is destined to end in near future.
(3) Twenty first century is not in the hands of centralized heavy industries. Undercurrent of decentralization has already started; and by the end of first decade of new century, the world will throw away the dogma of industrialization.
(4) Idea of "Everything under one roof" has become out dated. The process of splitting the bigger factories into small units has already started.
(5) Principles of more economic viabilities for bigger units are illusionary. In fact where social cost is considered, bigger units can never be viable.
(6) Complex giant technology has given rise to complex way of living, due to which greed and selfishness have captured human minds and we have lost the way of happiness.
(7) Real happiness is possible only through simple living, which is possible through simple and small technology only. Complicated machinery makes simple thing also complicated.
(8) World can live in peace and harmony only if we create self sustained societies.
(9) When production is made for consumption and not for marketing, present theories of economics crumble down.
(10) Small is possible at every stage, in every industry, in every country. Small is inevitable in every industry related to primary needs of the common masses in every country.
(11) Present tax collection systems can exist only on centralized form of heavy industries. This facilitates and increases legalized robbery of people by Governments.
(12) Transport is the curse to the mankind. It facilititates spreading of evils. Worldwide transport gives rise to worldwide exploitation.
My Horror
Whenever I see any big factory or industry, I am horrified to look at it, because it looks me as DEMON threatening the existence of humanity, its culture, its liberty, its freedom etc.
My Solace
Whenever I see any tiny cottage industry, I am pacified to look at it, because it looks me as GOD's blessing enriching the life-style of mankind, its culture, its liberty, its freedom etc.

HUGE SCOPE OF TINY THERMAL POWER PLANTS

Liberalization of power generation has opened vast opportunities for small generation capacities in villages. Steam energy is coming back very fast as blessing for local distributed generation.There is bright scope of establishing 10 million tiny thermal power plants of 10 kw capacity in farms and villages of India. Tiny thermal power plant to which we call tiny steam power plant specifically is the simplest power plant consisting of only two equipments i.e. small biomass boiler where steam will be produced by burning any biomass and steam engine which is revolved by steam to give mechanical power to runect any machine such as water pump for irrigation, rice huller for rice milling, flour mill for grain grinding, sugarcane crusher to extract sugarcane juice, oil expeller to get cooking oil or generator for electricity and lighting. Such tiny steam power plants will have the following eye catching advantages:-

(1) Rural electrification is unsolved problem since last 60 years. 80 million poor homes have no electricity in villages of India. Giant thermal power plants with transmission and distribution lines involving thousands of crores of rupees will not solve this problem fully even in next 20 years. Installing Tiny Steam Power Plants is the quickest solution at minimum cost. All unelectrified villages can be electrified in 2 years at 20% cost of the budget being spent by the government for this purpose. For tiny thermal power plant, no transmission lines, no distribution lines, no losses.

(2) Tiny thermal power plants will be very cheap. 10 kw steam power plant costs only Rs 4 lakhs which may become cheaper by mass production. Considering cost of transmission and distribution lines, transformers, losses in it, losses in converting electricity to mechanical power etc, investment in tiny power plants will be only 30% than in giant thermal power plants. So with same investment, about 3 times capacity can be built in a very short period of 3 years only..

(3) Tiny power plant will use steam engine which is simple technology. The technology of steam engine is not a new technology. We should remember that entire British empire was built and expanded in the world by using steam engines in boats and steamers, in vehicles and railways, in war equipments, in factories, in textile mills and so on. Steam engine is so much simple that even in villages, it can be produced on lathe.

(4) Tiny power plants with steam engines will greatly contribute for water lifting problem. Entire rural India is facing heavy shortage of electric power in agriculture sector and as electricity is never available in time, farmers are losing their crops. This can be avoided and problem can be solved by Tiny power plants with steam engines.

(5) Tiny steam power plants can be operated on biomass, agricultural waste, crop residue, forestry waste, wood etc. So farmers can produce their own power. So farmers will be independent from the harassment and tyrrany of electricity authority. THIS WILL BE THE BIGGEST HAPPINESS TO VILLAGERS. In India, about 20000 MW power can be produced from 280 million tonnes of biomass through tiny steam power plants.

(6) Tiny power plants with steam engines will greatly encourage co-generation with Combined Heat & Power application in oil milling, sugarcane crushing, rice milling etc. Waste heat of steam engine can be gainfully utilized for ice making and refrigeration without any running cost. So tiny steam power plants will be highly efficient and blessing to villagers. The huge amount of heat created by burning coal is simply wasted in giant thermal power plants which is not possible to use it. Huge amount of cooling water is required in giant thermal power plant simply tto dispose off heat energy in atmosphere which creates huge problem of water and envirnment.

(7)Tiny power plants with steam engines will be established in villages and hence it will greatly save transport expenses of agricultural produces from villages to cities. So import of diesel will be reduced and traffic burden on highways will be reduced.

(8) Tiny steam power plants will greatly contribute for rural development, income and employment generation in villages and homogeneous development of the country. Benefits of this can not be measured in rupees. In fact, this will be real development.

(9) In most of the industries, direct mechnical power will be more convenient and generation of electricity will not be required. So investment cost of generators and motors will be saved. Efficiency of direct mechanical power is always higher than converting in to electricity and using electric motors for mechanical power.

(10) Tiny boilers of tiny steam power plants are designed to accept any type of biomass fuel. It can work for coal also. So small steam steam power plants will be blessing to small farmers. it will get more and more importance particularly in agriculture and agro processing industries. In case of giant thermal power plants, design of boiler is for specific type of coal only. Any type of coal can not work there. So if it is designed for the coal of Jharkhand, it can not work with Meghalaya coal.

(11) Gestation period of giant thermal power plant is 3 to 4 years and that of atomic power plant is 10 years, while tiny power plant can be installed in maximum one month.

(12) Tiny steam power plants can be converted in to tiny SOLAR power plants in future simply by adding solar concentrator which will become cheaper and affordable and economically viable in a few years only. Giant thermal power plants can not be converted to solar power plants. So when solar power will be abundant, huge investment made for giant thermal power plants will be simply wastage.

Thus we can bring real revolution in rural India by establishing 10 million tiny steam power plants.
