Garbage and Waste Management India

Morning to evening, from the time I wake to the time I sleep, toxic waste is all I breathe, toxic waste is all I see! When will this end, when will our culture allow us to change our habits, or are we all in this bunny rabbit race of consumption and disposal. Keep your house clean and dirty that of your neighbors; shame, shame so called educated people travel abroad and change, but here in our country all we do is litter and complain! That’s your trash, I saw you throw it out of your car window, I saw you empty it out in the street, but the other day I met you at a social gathering, talking between your friends, I herd you mention how the country is going to the dogs, how the so called uneducated are spoiling it for you all! Paradox! Mr. Mr. to get your act in order, time to stop paying lip service, time to visit a doctor, because the problem is not with every one else, the problem is with you, the problem is with your thought process, the problem is your sense of entitlement. Lets shed our skin and show our color, saffron, white and green , lets take this as a challenge and prove the cynics wrong , Indian will be cleaned if we all work along!

Most Fuel Efficient Car Engine

Despite shifting into higher gear within the consumer's green conscience, hybrid vehicles are still tethered to the gas pump via a fuel-thirsty 100-year-old invention: the internal combustion engine.

However, researchers at Michigan State University have built a prototype gasoline engine that requires no transmission, crankshaft, pistons, valves, fuel compression, cooling systems or fluids. Their so-called Wave Disk Generator could greatly improve the efficiency of gas-electric hybrid automobiles and potentially decrease auto emissions up to 90 percent when compared with conventional combustion engines.

The engine has a rotor that's equipped with wave-like channels that trap and mix oxygen and fuel as the rotor spins. These central inlets are blocked off, building pressure within the chamber, causing a shock wave that ignites the compressed air and fuel to transmit energy.

The Wave Disk Generator uses 60 percent of its fuel for propulsion; standard car engines use just 15 percent. As a result, the generator is 3.5 times more fuel efficient than typical combustion engines.

Researchers estimate the new model could shave almost 1,000 pounds off a car's weight currently taken up by conventional engine systems.

Last week, the prototype was presented to the energy division of the Advanced Research Projects Agency, which is backing the Michigan State University Engine Research Laboratory with $2.5 million in funding.

Michigan State's team of engineers hope to have a car-sized 25-kilowatt version of the prototype ready by the end of the year.
