Deriving power from the two-wheeler’s engine to run the compressor, this device lends flexibility of usage to the painter. Jahangir has been running a small spray painting shop, ‘Khandesh Spray Painters’ in Jalgaon for the past eighteen years. He has ten dependents in his family, his eight children, wife and his mother.</p> <p align="justify">He was born at Vijaynagar in Chennai district of Tamil Nadu. His father was a painter by profession. Jahangir has six sisters and two brothers. At the age of six, he was sent to his aunt’s house at Malkapur (Dist. Buldhana, Maharashtra). There he started his school education. But poor economic condition of his aunt forced him to go to the forests to graze animals and earn something to supplement the family income. Because of this, he could not study beyond second standard.</p> Tue, 23 Oct 2007 16:11:47 +0530 http://west.gian.org/protection_device <img class="thumb" src="http://west.gian.org/images/innovation/thumbs/thumb_037eae3002bbc67618ea466ce075a49b-218.jpg" /><div align="justify"><br /> The cost incurred for the maintenance of the motor is sometimes more than the cost price of the motor itself. Burning of coil is one of the major reasons. Shri Bharat Kamble, an electronic device technician from Solapur district of Maharashtra has designed a ‘Motor Protecting Device’. This device protects motors used for agricultural and industrial applications and prevents the motor from burning due to voltage fluctuations, phase loss &amp; reversal, dry run &amp; overflow, overload and many other real life situations in the fields.</div><div align="justify"> Thu, 20 Jul 2006 20:32:43 +0530
