Nagpur, 27 February (H.S.):Dr Sanjay Dhoble

of RTM Nagpur University’s Department of Physics with his student Marciana

Sylvester has scaled another milestone in generating green energy from moving

vehicles. The energy is created by pressure in the tires of two and four-wheelers created during their movements. An international patent has been

awarded for the novel research work. The patent is 95th by Dr

Dhoble, who is among the top 2 percent of researchers in the world.

To

find alternative sources of energy that fossil fuel and water, Dr Dhoble with

Marciana carried out the research. The aim was not only to save traditional

fuel but also to prevent health problems caused due to their uncontrolled use.

Dr Dhoble used

Piezoelectrical material, which can be used in the vehicle’s tires or tubes to

generate energy.

PIEZOELECTRICITY: Piezoelectricity

is the

ability of certain materials to generate electricity when they are squeezed or

pressed. The word comes from the Greek word piezein, which means to squeeze or press.

The material is very cheap and affordable by the common man. The energy generated

is of a good quality and does not produce carbon dioxide. The energy, thus is

eco-friendly.

The energy generated

can be used for better performance of the vehicle itself, so that enhanced

mileage can be achieved.

RTMNU’s Officiating

Vice-Chancellor Dr Prashant Bokare, Pro-VC Dr Rajendra Kakde, Registrar Dr Raju

Hiwase and others congratulated Dr Doble and Marciana for the achievement.
