Meet SK Dulare, the Auto Driver of Noida
They say necessity is the mother of invention, and SK Dulare, an auto driver in the scorching heat of Noida, proved it right! Struggling with the unbearable hot air and blazing sun, Dulare came up with a brilliant idea that turned heads.
The Ingenious Hack
While at a junk shop, Dulare noticed a little computer fan. This sparked an idea. He took two fans and joined them back to back. But the air wasn’t cool enough. Thinking creatively, he decided to add water to the mix using a saline bottle. Here’s how he did it:
- Saline Bottle Magic: Dulare used a saline bottle to drip water onto the fans. He connected the needle through a pipe and fitted it into the fan using an old carburetor plug.
- Triple Fan Coolness: Even with water, the air wasn’t perfectly cool. So, he added another fan. As the air passed through the three fans, it became refreshingly cold.
- Auto Integration: Dulare mounted this setup on his auto rikshaw steering wheel, creating a mini air conditioner.
Cost and Efficiency
- Water Efficiency: This jugaad provides cold air for an hour and a half using just half a liter of water.
- Adjustable: A regulator on the saline bottle allows Dulare to control the water flow according to the heat.
- Cost: The entire setup cost him around 1,000 rupees.
Now, Dulare enjoys cool breezes even in the scorching heat, thanks to his innovative thinking.
