| Title |
'Trolleying' across mountain rivers and streams |
|
|
| Details |
Narayana Bhat, a retired teacher and his brother Mahalingeshwar Bhat have developed an indigenous trolley to cross rivers and streams in hilly areas. The innovators were finding it difficult to cross the streams near their house during the rainy season. One had to use a boat or a manual bridge. To overcome this problem they designed a trolley.
The trolley consists of wire ropes of 2-3.75 inches thick, a pulley and four wheels. A rotator can move the trolley. As the user rotates the rotator, the pulley causes the wheels to move forward, and helps the user cross the river. Around 25 families in the area are using this trolley. |
