Electricity from POO POO

 

Electricity from POO POO

Bangalore: Manoj Mandelia, a 23-years old student from IIT-Kharagpur, has created a method to produce electricity from sewage water. "I developed a product which uses the concept of microbial fuel cell, a bio-electrochemical system that drives current by mimicking bacterial interactions found in nature," said Mandelia, reports Bharat Ghai from TopNews.in.

NOW READ THE COMMENTS:

we can make factory to make the bactria. We will produce garbage, we are expert in it. then from the garbage we wil make electrcity.

 

If one poo poo can lite a tourchlight fo 10 minuts. power problem of the earth is solved.

 

It is time we give him some award. This invention has changed the course of histry. All our power cricis is over for ever. the planet is saved.

If we can make great scientist Dr. Abdul Kalak, president , why not Manoj? It will be great to have president Manoj.

 

I wonder why the he is not yet in all media? all TV programs? he should be, we all want to know what this great scientist has to say.

The cost per unit cost in producing electricity is 280 rs. aprox electricity bill will be 8500/- per month.

but to save the planet we all should give up our money.

 

Thanks manoj, for giving oppertunity to sacrifice for the nation.

 

Another idea copied from West and passed on as "INNOVATION" by IITans...please stop these stunts...

- this idea has been there since 1900's and if you see above link you can see that in 2007 University of Queensland demonstrated this technique.

You can read the interesting article in the April 2004 issue of Environmental Science and Technology (volume 38, number 7, pages 2281-2285).

In my town some body attempted to utilise sewaage water from Minicipality to run a turbine and get electricity from the discarded small plane generators. Th3e project was not successful. More than technology other social factors such as collection of sewage water and sustained supply of sewage water have to be considered. Novel ideas appear sensational. One can say it is possible to generate enormous amount of electricity from Lightning. Can it be done. I am not discouraging Mr. Manoj. Everyday in the news some innovation from IITians or others appear. If all the innovations were implemented India would have been on top in the world. Mere enthusiasm is not enough but it has to be supported by entrepreneurship.

Approaching a VC? Here is a checklist

Approaching a VC? Here is a checklist

By   Sikta Samantaray

Bangalore: Seeing the growth of Indian software market, Ravi Varma started its own software venture in 2005, but could not go long and had to shut company's door in 2007, as he failed to raise fund from venture capitalists (VCs). 

Currently working as a Vice President - Strategy in an IT firm, Varma graduated from IIM, Bangalore in 2004. After running the business for two years without any financial support, Ravi thought that his company had all the right credentials needed by venture capitalists, but when he pitched his ideas to around 10 VCs, he realized that his idea is premature and can not be funded by any venture firm. 

Not only Varma, there are several such start-up entrepreneurs, who are in a race to raise VC funding. So, to help these emerging entrepreneurs, SiliconIndia talked to some of the VCs to know the important factors that can help these entrepreneurs to improve their chances of getting funded. Here are some important thoughts being given by VCs:

Do you have a Team to lead?

A company may have a big business idea, but working individually may not help it to achieve the objective. It is the team which may help one's idea to convert into a profitable product or service. Anurakt Jain, Analyst, Draper Fisher Jurvetson India said, "VCs invest in a team, so sell the team. A start-up should know well about their team members before pitching to VCs."

Pitch

The process of raising fund can be one of the more physically and emotionally draining parts of starting a business. It can go on for weeks or months, taking away focus from business. As an entrepreneur seeking funding, one need to demonstrate that he/she is very clear about his/her idea and how he/she would build an economically viable business around it. Rajesh Vakil, Head, Siemens Venture Capital, India said, "Put together a good investor presentation that covers all aspects of the business plan. A weak presentation can put off VCs easily." Speaking on the similar lines, Jain said, "The first 5-10 minutes of pitch to VCs are very crucial - get VCs on the hook. Describe the company in one-two lines - that would be helpful in running the business as well."

What is your USP?

While explaining about the product or service, a company need to avoid using jargon and adjectives. VCs say that startups should explain the product or service in simple language and emphasize its competitive edge or USP. Manav Sethi, COO BigMaps said, "The basic objective of a start-up should be to show that there is a need of this product or service in the market." 

Business Plan

For any start-up, the purpose of presenting a business plan should be to show the potential to investors that if they invest in its business. Vakil said that a business plan must have a very effective executive summary, and in that summary a company should highlight the market, the product or service, management team, stage of the startup, location, market, market size, business, business model, capital structure, capital required and exit options. He also asked these startups to critically evaluate the business plan and do a market opportunity analysis to determine scalability of business. "Ask honestly "Will you fund this if it was someone else's business plan," added he.

Customer Base

Before presenting to VCs, a company needs to evaluate the customer business case, benefits and payback. Also, it needs to know in details about its existing customers as well as its potential customers. Any company can?t have any better evidence than customers to prove its claims about the marketability of its product/service.

A company needs to understand that it is in the market to sell a product, its business idea, which can't be sold unless its customers are satisfied with the product, which they plan to buy. Raghu Batta, Partner, Ojas Ventures said that startups should always make something or sell a service that people want.
