My work


Dear Friends,

I would like to share with you about what I do. Mostly, I dont do anything :-))

This is a pelton turbine, producing 1 kW for a farm house in Chikmagalur in Karnataka. Designed and fabricated by me in Bangalore. I have installed more than 15 micro hydro units ranging from 1 kW to 100 kW in many states in India and one in Africa.
In one of the pictures, do you see a large machine? That is a locally fabricated "turbine" by a self taught mechanic generating 100W. Look at the size! There are more than fifty such installations in karnataka. People buy it because they get atleast steel that is worth of the cost. BTW these turbines cost half of my turbines. After having burnt their fingers, the estate guys are slowly realising the futility. I hope to get some business in the coming months!
