electric toothbrush which operates on
hydro electricity. It is a complete
energy harvesting product.
•This invention proves to be a boon to
conserve conventional sources of
energy.

9. Dr. Amey Patil
Flowing tap water results in rotation
of turbine, which is at the extreme
end of the turbine vanes. The rotating
turbine causes rotations of larger and
smaller gears respectively leading to
multiple rapid rotations of smaller
gear, generating mechanical
energy, which in turn gets converted
into electrical energy.
