In a future of scarce energy and excessive reliance on electronic devices, hawkers become the saviors. 


This article from the future explores the socio-cultural shift of hawkers to Bijliwalas and how they save individuals with the 'LowBat' syndrome.

Concept Setting

Concept Setting

Triad Technique is a valuable tool for gaining deeper understanding through structured comparison of three key elements, these are mainly the anchors of the project and also helps to set the concept. Anchors can be comparisons, relations, contrasts.

Jotted down some conventional and non-conventional sources of energy, the job was to list down 'Microenergy'- their type sources of production. Taking electrostatic energy as my core source and starting point, PESCTLEEM analysis and 5 W's helped me to get deeper and assess micro and macro-level factors.

piezo electric substances

Radiofrequency

Electrostatic energy

Scavenging energy

Brownian Motion

Microbial fuel cells

Ambient

Micro-organism

Low-frequency seismic vibrations

Acoustic noise

Ideations

Ideations

Ideations were revolving around the source of production, types, different aspects related to it, etc.

Charging Comb

Localized network from comb usage

Robot Arm in Charging Booth

Car seat, Blankets, Shopping cart, Carpet and many more...

But there were constraints..

But there were constraints..

1

Very less power generated

2

Only small devices can be powered

3

Even though small devices can be charged, the charging capacity is limited

So what can can be possible ways of providing this “microenergy”

Service+ On the go= Hawkers??

Service+ On the go= Hawkers??

Hawkers selling microenegry, generated through small-scale production.

The article below from the future explores the socio-cultural shift of hawkers to Bijliwalas and how they save individuals with the 'LowBat' syndrome. It also explains the production, storage and the use in detail.
