NEW DELHI: CSIR-Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine (IIIM), Jammu won the Final Round for Solar Mech works on Solar Thermal Technology as a standalone system that works on CHP (Concentrated Heat & Power), an innovation model mentored by the scientists of CSIR-IIIM, Jammu under CSIR Jigyasa Epic Hackaton-2024. Giving the detail of the contest, a spokesperson said that a total of 960 submissions were received by CSIR from all the CSIR institutions throughout the country, and later on, 64 ideas/models were shortlisted which were mentored by CSIR institutions. The award was presented in an event under CSIR-Jigyasa Hackathon- 2024, held today at CSIR-IGIB, New Delhi.
Pertinently, CSIR-IIIM Developed Technology called as Solar Mech works on Solar Thermal Technology as a standalone system works on CHP (Concentrated Heat & Power) and proves to be an efficient Solar Energy Technology which works on principal of cyclic air expansion and contraction by Temperature difference converting Heat Energy into Mechanical Energy. It features a low resistance generator that uses electromagnetic induction for Direct Mechanical to electrical energy conversion. The USP of demonstrated Technology is it's functionality as Reversible Heat Pump.
The student Japteg Singh was mentored by Dr Nasir ul Rasheed, Senior Scientist and coordinated by Dr Asha Chaubey Nodal Scientist Jigyasa and Head, Fermentation and Microbiology Division. Dr. Zabeer Ahmed, Director, CSIR-IIIM, Jammu, appreciated and congratulated Dr. Rasheed, Dr. Chaubey, for mentoring Japteg Singh to design the model which earned this elocution and it is a proud moment for the entire family of CSIR-IIIM, Jammu. Dr. Ahmed mentioned that under CSIR Jigyasa programme, various events are being organized at CSIR-IIIM, Jammu to attract the young mind towards research and provides the incubation support to the bright and innovative ideas.
