Statistics on E-Waste Generation and Management Scenario in India | ||||||||
Rapid technological advances in electronics industry coupled with increase in purchasing power and decrease in cost of electronic devices has escalated the product obsolescence and led to extremist consumerism throughout the world. As per a study, two of the five Indians replace their smartphones every year. This behavior has brought in a new type of solid waste commonly known as e-waste (electronic waste). Recently, e-waste has become the fastest growing solid waste stream all over the world. Due to its non-biodegradable nature and long life-span, e-waste piles up about three times faster in comparison to other types of solid wastes; thereby exacerbating the ever existing problem of solid waste management,especially in developing countries like India.........

3D digital concept design of the wind-powered water- lifting device | ||||||||
The development of wind energy resources is important for changing the structure of China's energy
industry, of which wind power generation has broad development prospects and resource advantages. The
application of wind power for water lifting and irrigation is a new trend. In this paper, we propose a wind-
powered water-lifting device based on a vertical axis wind turbine and develop a three-dimensional digital
concept design for it..
