Dear Friends,
Just read about your development of Zinc-Air Battery , through following news reports :
IIT Madras Researchers Develop Next-Generation Battery Technology That Could Revolutionise Electric Mobility
IIT-M Researchers Develop Made-in-India EV Batteries 3 Times Cheaper Than Li-ion Cells
Apart from other numerous advantages of Zn-Air battery, what excited me most was the intriguing reference to “ Mechanically Rechargeable “ feature
How exactly ?
Like a stationary Bicycle ( on a stand )- and connected to a Electric Generator - where a person can just keep “ pedalling “ to produce an electric current, which, in turn, will charge the “ Zn Cassette “ ?
If yes, then you may be heralding a REVOLUTION of sorts !
Some 30 years ago, when Sam Pitroda introduced the concept of PCO ( Public Call Office ) – for millions of Indians who could not get / afford a telephone Landline at their homes – a MILLION PCOS sprung up on footpaths of every town in the country
If Zn-Air Cassette can be recharged by a “ pedalling bicycle “ then I imagine a million unemployed youth can set themselves up as SELF EMPLOYED , and roam the streets of India, shouting :
“ BATTERY RECHARGE WALA “ !
I anxiously await your clarification / comments on what I envisage
With regards,
Hemen Parekh
