Yesterday was the day that India celebrates it's independence from the British, so myself and Sam thought the best thing for us to do was go join in with the flag raising ceremony at 8.15 in the morning!
Later, I joined some of the students at the college who had hired a jeep to go to the nearby Didupe falls. Eleven of us all piled into the jeep and were driven along the bumpy road and track as far as we could go. The group walked the last two kilometers. A single track path led up to the base of the falls, but at some points this path became part of the stream, forcing us to wade up through the stream.
Unlike Jog falls, you could get right up close to the bottom of the falls and feel the force of the water and wind pounding against your body, crashing down from above. It was a beautiful spot and well worth the slightly slippy walk up the path to get to it.
Now that the concept of the biomass dryer works, I will be spending much of my time trying to get several made, further reducing the smoke, and trying to reduce the costs by better materials selection. I should be able to run product demo's at some of the SELCO branches to demonstrate the concept and receive feedback for further developments.
