Water heater using cow dung and waste
Abstract
This project has its theme based on best from waste. Here, heat energy is obtained using a fuel which possesses no harm to the nature. Also, the demand for fossil fuels is very high and day-by-day energy consumption across the globe has increased tremendously. This project provides a cost effective and efficient solution to today’s increasing energy demands. In this project, the device consists of a copper pipe coiled throughout a container and filled with cow dung, copper pipe is filled with water and cow dung surrounding the copper pipe heats it up. cow dung (the waste product of cows) is used to heat water i.e. heat energy is obtained from cow dung. Heat is obtained due to the anaerobic bacteria (which grow in absence of oxygen) and heat up the surrounding. Water is kept in a copper pipe which is completely surrounded by cow dung. Keywords: anaerobic bacteria, best from waste, cow dung, heat energy, water heaterReferences (10)
