Bicycle UPS
Innovators: Mr. S. Kalidoss and Mr. S.N. Ganapathy
Description: An Uninterrupted Power Supply for the headlight of bicycles. In rural areas where the bicycle is the predominant mode of transportation and street lighting is irregular, this innovation assumes significance and can have a direct impact on the users. The proposal development has been undertaken with the support of Gandhigram Rural Institute (Deemed University), a nodal partner of L-RAMP.

Multi-purpose Gas Stove
Innovators: Dr. A. Jagadeesh
Description: Modification in gas stove to increase efficiency when in use, by generating hot water using waste heat.

Pocket Manuring Stick
Innovators: Mr. S. Raju
Description: A simple portable mechanical device, to apply pellets of fertilizer in predetermined quantities. The innovation is expected to have a positive impact on small farmers with gain in productivity, and reduced wastage of fertilizers. The proposal development has been undertaken with the support of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU), a nodal partner of L-RAMP.

Water Lifting Device
Innovators: Mr. Sakthimaindan
Description: A simple pedal-operated device to lift water from stagnant places, mostly in agricultural fields where there are channels in between patches of crops. The impact will be in intensive water-fed cultivation. Stagnant water so cleared can also be used to irrigate land. Besides, it may also be a useful technique for better drainage in certain areas. The proposal development has been undertaken with the support of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU), a nodal partner of L-RAMP.

Vertical Axis Wind Turbine
Innovators: Mr. Y. Naveen Sathiya
Description: This innovative design claims to overcome some of the drawbacks in vertical axis wind turbines that have affected widespread use. The design is claimed to be suitable for several energy applications in rural and small-town contexts.

Reflector for General Purpose Lighting
Innovators: Mr. N.P. Dhandapani
Description: This Erode-district based physics graduate has developed an improved design for Lighting Reflectors. It is claimed that this innovation will result in energy savings through better utilisation of light emitted by fluorescent lamps and other light sources.

Novel Sprinkler
Innovators: Mr. D. Lakshmanan
Description: The innovation is a novel design for a sprinkler (spray nozzle) that can create a spray of water (or any other liquid with good flowing characteristics) without the need for any moving parts, or small-dimension channels, in the sprinkler head. The impact is likely to be in enabling low-cost micro-sprinkler irrigation for small farmers. The proposal development has been undertaken with the support of Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU), a nodal partner of L-RAMP.

FRP Shelters
Innovators: Mr. A. Isaac
Description: The claimed innovation is with reference to usage of Fibre-reinforced plastics (FRP) as a building construction material. Its viability for emergency shelters is being evaluated.
