5. Engineers, a special species
 “The engineer has been, and is, a maker of history”
..... James Kip Finch
 The Biblical world view sees Earth and its ecosystems as the
effect of a wise God's creation and... therefore robust,
resilient, and self-regulating, like the product of any good
engineer. .....Christopher Monckton
 “There is only one nature—the division into science and
engineering is a human imposition, not a natural one.
Indeed, the division is a human failure; it reflects our
limited capacity to comprehend the whole.”
.....Sir William Cecil Dampier
 A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good
engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as
few original ideas as possible ..... Freeman Dyson

6. Engineers, a special species contd...
 “One man's magic is another man's engineering. Supernatural
is a null word” ..... Robert A Heinlein
 “The ideal engineer is a composite ... He is not a scientist, he is
not a mathematician, he is not a sociologist or a writer; but he
may use the knowledge and techniques of any or all of these
disciplines in solving engineering problems”
.....N. W. Dougherty
 “I think one problem we've had is that people who are smart
and creative and innovative as engineers went into financial
engineering” .....Walter Isaacson
 Technology + Economy = Engineering
..... As defined since last 175 years
 Technology + Economy + Sociology + Ecology = Engineering
.....defined by EFACMSCSL

15. The Concern (Imbalance) & The Solution (Engineering)
 There is an uneven distribution of
resources and wide economic
differences in this World population
 We don’t recognise the problems of
underprivileged ones.
 In all the race of making money,
Environment is the free resource
consumed by everybody whether
needed or not needed
 Due to this enormous pressure on
Environment, it has been damaged very
badly and now very near to be collapsed
 NGOs & Voluntary organisations did
some good work but that is too small an
amount for very large need
 This is all because we are not fulfilling
our social and environmental
responsibilities
 Engineering is a great tool to fill
economical gaps
 Engineers are builder of this planet, so
most of the resources are used by them
 Engineering has many tools to provide
better life and better environment with
economy
 Mega scale projects have to be planned
and implemented to really achieve
sustainable and visible change
 Model must freeze upper limit of profit
/ margin generation in all the operation
and demolish layers of intermediate
selling of one organisation to another
 Engineering with blending of charity
and Modern Management Techniques
can be the solution to majority of our
problems

20. Key projects : Low Cost Farm Equipments
Objective:
To impact the farm yield by way of mechanisation of tiny
sized farms (below 1 hectare). Design, Development and
manufacturing of suitable farm equipments and give them
to actual user of rural & remote areas of the world. All
modern techniques of management, agriculture science
and engineering must be applied to achieve higher farm
yield and thereby higher standard of living of farmers.
Impact:
 Increase in productivity up to --------12 – 34%
 Saving in seeds -------- 15 – 20%
 Saving in fertilizer -------- 15 – 20%
 Enhancement in cropping intensity----- 05 – 22%
 Increase in gross income of farmers----- 29 – 49%
EFAC
20/28

21. Key projects : Low Cost Farm Equipments ... contd
Need:
For example, take India. India has 62% of operational farms, which are less than 1
hectare with average size of 0.40 hectare. These farms cover 19% of cultivable
land. These farmers are able to cultivate only single crop / year due to various
constraint and shortage of irrigation, dependency on rain.
Attention on following is a need
 Requirement of efficient but less costly agricultural tools and equipment suitable
for small farmers will continue to exist – whether owned or on hire.
 Higher economic efficiency of scale of operation may compel farmers for co-
operative / contract farming. High capacity but precision equipments are needed
for irrigated and dry land conditions. Planters for vegetable seeds and
transplanters for vegetable nursery are of significance.
 Plant protection equipment – precision applicators to minimize excess
application of pesticide to plants for good environment and soil health.
 The area under upland rice is expected to increase where rainfall is decreasing.
Thus a need for implement set-up.
 Commodity specific mechanization package development.
 Collective and sustainable approach to problem
 Yield of crop
EFAC
21/28

22. Key projects : Low Cost Farm Equipments ... contd
Our Approach:
 Develop all sort of farm equipment and machinery to
be driven by battery operated drives, to enable use of
nonconventional energy sources
 We may target a reduced common drive of 1.5 to 2 kws
for all
 Develop and maintain system of community use of all
equipments and machinery
Attention will be given to following
 Re-engineering of all equipments and machinery in
view of tiny farm size
 Localisation and use of sustainable materials
 Train available manpower of blacksmith, carpenters &
mechanics (cottage industry) etc of that area for
manufacturing & maintenance of such equipments &
machineries
 Major thrust will be on environment protection
 Active participation in all activities and local
management must be done by farmers themselves
EFAC

23. Key projects : Low Cost Renewable Energy
Objective:
Devise, Implement, Operate & Maintain Low Cost Energy
Solutions for Rural & Remote areas by adopting present Green
Energy techniques and do research on new renewable energy
sources. Benefit of Low cost, from effective energy management &
techniques, must be transferred to underprivileged people. Quality
of Energy & intelligent use must be such that it will improve the
eco-system.
Collective approach and proper designing & planning of solutions will
ease the pressure of energy cost on Rural & Remote areas.
Enhancing the Energy security can only be achieved by
 Promote R&D on Energy Generation, Use, Policies & Dissemination
 Promotion of renewable energy
 Promotion of energy efficiency
 Nuclear Energy option
 Behavioural Change
 Diversifying Supply Sources
EFAC
23/28

24. Key projects : Low Cost Renewable Energy ... contd
Threats on rural & remote area’s Energy
Security,
 Dependency on imported hydrocarbons
 Demand- Supply gap in electricity, coal
 Environmental Issues (Climate Change,
Drought)
 Fuel Mix Diversity (Dependency on one
major energy resource)
 Technical knowhow & expertise in planning
 Low energy efficiency in production,
distribution and consumption
 Provision to affordable energy to all,
especially the poor
 Energy price rise
 Disparity in per capita consumption of
energy/ fuels
 Access to cleaner energy fuels
 Increasing monthly expenditure on energy
fuels
EFAC

25. Key projects : Low Cost Renewable Energy ... contd
What will EFACMSCSL do to achieve this?
 Try to make use of basic energy needed for the
work directly, not from long loop of electric
energy
 Try to reduce multiple STEPS of energy
conversion & transmission losses
 Try to make Equipments which uses basic energy
directly.
 Out of the box thinking
 Promote use of community cooking, washing,
storage, heating & cooling etc to get better
efficiencies
 Stringent solutions to keep energy sources alive
and environment healthy
 Development of Modular Energy Kits to tap
energy from sources available in rural and remote
areas
 Make cluster independent on outside Energy
Sources
etc
