Copying excerpts from the article:
Singh has designed a patented technology that is low-cost, efficient
and does not require any fuel or external energy source to lift water
from the river and water bodies.
Mangal Turbines has reached and improved the lot of thousands of
people across the nation in many states including Madhya Pradesh,
Uttarakhand, etc. Not only this, he has also recharged a dead canal
using his revolutionary technology.
“The technology is unique because it is a one-of-its-kind machine
where water is being lifted without any fuel or energy. That is where
Mangal Turbine stands out when compared to other technologies” he
says.
The success of the machine lies in the specially-designed water wheel
which can rotate even on a low water head of one metre. Singh first
made a water wheel and increased the RPM (rotations per minute) of
that by using a step-up gear box which helped it reach an RPM of 1500
to 2200.
“The pump requires low waterheads of up to only 1 meter, created
by low-cost check dams. The turbine machine consists of a water wheel
firmly mounted on a steel shaft fixed on foundation supports. The
shaft is coupled with a gearbox with universal couplings to step-up
the speed of rotation. A centrifugal pump lifts the water from one
end, while a pulley is used to derive power to operate the machine.
The water wheel turbine’s design is simple and it can be made in
different sizes to meet varying location-specific requirements
anywhere in the developing world,” he explains.
The success and impact of the innovation is unmatched and the the
amount of water lifted is much greater than that with other
alternative fuel-driven pumps. It can also be used for agricultural
works, operating flour mills, sugarcane crushing, threshing, expelling
oil, chaff cutting, and many other places.
His amazing work won him instant on-ground success, but he still had
to struggle hard to make his place in the market. Despite his
path-breaking innovation and international recognition, he has had to
fight against bureaucratic indifference and corruption.
The machine runs without electricity, battery or fuel.

He is still fighting for his rights where he can actually put his
amazing technology available in places where it is required the most.
“I have even sold my house to work for this. I am left with
nothing. All I need is the government’s support and transparency so
that I can put it to use. They should install a pilot plant in
villages and then see the result themselves. Give me the royalty for
the technology and take this to different places,” he says.
Despite being completely neglected, Singh did not lose hope. He is
currently talking to a private company which is willing to take up the
machine and help Singh with its marketing.
In the future, Singh is willing to make this machine available to more
people only if he receives some financial support from the government
or larger companies. “I cannot do it all by myself. I have no
resources to pull it off,” he says.
The proud innovator, through his amazing innovation, has simplified
the lives of many farmers. If put to proper use, this technology can
bring a revolutionary change in Indian agriculture. Lets hope it
receives the right support from government and private sector alike.
