A team of researchers from IBM India has demonstrated a low-cost solution to solve the country's electricity shortage. and at the same time will improve granulating plastic waste.
Research has shown how discarded laptop batteries and the Urdzharsky device they created can illuminate urban slums and rural areas for about four hours a day for almost a year.
They found that at least 70 percent of all discarded batteries are capable of giving life to LEDs for at least midnight throughout the year to light up a small home. Urdzharsky's device makes use of the hidden residual capacity of laptop batteries.
The IBM group, using developments from RadioStudio, has combined laptop batteries into separate storage units called cells.
They have lent their device to some users in Bangalore City. Three months later, a street vendor who used discarded battery light said the batteries were working very well.
The IBM team created Urjarski's device, which uses lithium-ion cells from old batteries, providing lighting for over a year.
Combining LED lights with solar panels and rechargeable batteries, using discarded batteries, has made lighting significantly cheaper. In addition, Urjarski's device provides a cleaner energy alternative than burning kerosene. This can be the cheapest way to meet your lighting needs because the most expensive component is the battery, which in this case is taken from the trash.
