BANGALORE EXPLORE

A Park with energy……but hardly any visitors either during daytime, night times I have to check out. In the heart of the city of Bangalore located near the Raj Bhavan on the golf course road joining the commissioner office. They hardly charge Rs 5/-as enterance fee. The concept of renewable energy is portrayed very beautifully. Mr Shiv Kumar, requested me to " Sir please, we have developed such as beautiful park on renewable energy, but there are not much visitors, please help us to publicise and bring in crowd of visitors to witness the magnificient display in the heart of the city " I suppose this will be a very small contribution that I will be making in front of gaints in the field.
Solar HUT: SOLAR HUT is constructed using Bamboo, integrated with Solar Photovoltaic panes. The sunlight falling on the solar cells is converted into electricity, and it used for array of household applications. The energy generated is stored in a battery bank which is capable of lighting up: 6 Nos of 11 W lights, 2 nos of ceiling fan working for 6-7 hours/day, 1 fridge working for 24 hours a day, 1 CTV working for 6-7 hours, and 1 PC working for 6 hours a day.
SOLAR HEATED SWIMMING POOL : To keep the temperature of the water at ambient level during winter solar energy is utilized. It is an excellent idea, which can be extended to Sauna parlors too I suppose. The water in the Pool was quite dirty, I requested the IN CHARGE Mr Shiv Kumar to change the water in the pool. He was the one who requested for me upload and request more visitors to this park.
SOLAR PUMPING SYSTEM : For agricultural usage, for pumping water.
BATTERY OPERATED CAR : Reva is manufactured in B’lore which is totally pollution free in terms of Smoke as well as sound. How we love it to be fitted with solar cells for recharging, it will become a hit, I think manufacturers must be working on it.
BATTERY OPERATED CYCLE : A peddling bike with maximum speed of 25 kms per hour on cruise mode can generate lot of energy.
ENERGY GENERATING SLIP : The energy slip is made of a conveyer belt, which converts into energy as the rider comes down from the topmost point sliding down. An ADC dynamo is fitted into the gear mechanisms to generate power for LEDs.
ENERGY GENERATING DRUM : Walking inside the drum rotates the AC dynamo which in turn generates electricity.
MICRO HYDEL PLANT : A hydel power generation demo is displayed. SOLAR COOKER : Mass feeding can be ensured by using solar cookers, which is installed in many religious places in India, Tirupati, Dharmastala, etc.
COMPUTER BASED ENERGY QUIZ & GAMES : kids can enjoy the knowledge gain through interactive audio visual exhibit designed to impart information on energy.
WIND ENERGY : A model is displayed to demonstrate how wind energy is harnessed to produce electricity, a prime example is Chitradurga town.
WOODY BIOMASS GASIFIER : Biomass gasification converts solid biomass into a high quality gaseous fuel at very high overall efficiency.
SOLAR PHOTOVOLTIC (PV) POWER PLANT : It is proven maintenance free technology with one time investment.
SOLAR PV- WIND HYBRID SYSTEM : It is one of the eco friendly renewable power systems, which can be installed on hilltops, beaches, other energy deficient areas.
There are many more ideas to explore and learn, which kids will enjoy, and there are light & sound shows in the night too. Overall one should not miss this Renewable energy park in Bangalore, which is located right behind Vidhana Soudha in B’lore. Mr Shiv Kumar, I have kept my word.
