Abstract |
|
India depends on agriculture to drive the engine of its economic development. Corn has been cast in the lead role of this ongoing storyline of agricultural success, and without corn, the India farm sector would be just a shell of what is has now become. To a very large extent, we are still a nation that is defined by what we grow, and there is no crop that we are planting as frequently, harvesting as prodigiously, or consuming as eagerly as this hardy and versatile foodstuff. The socio-economic conditions of peoples living in villages of developing countries including India, human muscle power can be good alternative to fulfill the energy requirements for performing many activities like flour milling. Pedaling is the most efficient way of utilizing power from human muscles. Keeping these things in mind a pedal operated flour mill is developed. The machine consists of a chain drive and belt drive that turns rotates conventional stone wheels, where the poured wheat gets crushed to produce flour. The machine is economically viable, can be used by common people, save time otherwise spent in traditional hand cranking of stone wheels and can be adopted for human-powered process units which could have intermittent operation without affecting the end-product. In India its consumption is also very high, so to meet requirement machine or technology is require to find out to avoid heavy time consumption and labor problems. |
