Imphal, August 01 2013:
After successfully designing a wainam (paddy husk) stove which produces heat comparable to heat produced by an LPG stove, innovator Maibam Nandakumar has invented a wainam gasifier which can run power generators with wai (paddy husk) as fuel.
Nandakumar demonstrated his new invention in front of media persons and local people at his Heirangoithong Maibam Leikai residence today.
He said that it cost him around Rs two lakh to design and produce his wainam gasifier.
He claimed that two Kgs of wai can run a generator of 3 KW for one hour.
Nandakumar said that he would now experiment his wainam gasifier with two-wheelers and four-wheelers.

He explained that wai is put into the reactor chamber.
Then the wai is burnt and the gas thus produced is passed to the generator's carburettor.
Wainam gasifier can also be used in hotels and hostels where large quantities of food are cooked every day.
Each gas gasifier would be sold at Rs 15,000 .
"I would not go for obtaining patent right for my new product for the process of obtaining patent right requires both money and time.
I would not object if anybody imitates my design and manufactures similar products", Nandakumar said.
As for the around Chakhum Wainam he designed earlier, 4000 pieces have been sold so far, he added.
