MY FIRST DAY AT UNIVERSITY
MY FIRST DAY AT UNIVERSITY
MY FIRST DAY AT UNIVERSITY WAS ON 28 MARCH.IT WAS MY FIRST DAY OF ORIENTATION.IT WAS FUN DAY FOR ME TO ENTER INTO UNIVERSITY.FIRST ACTIVITY WE DID WAS ICE BREAKING.IN ICE BREAKING GAMES I LEARN ABOUT MY NEWS FRIENDS BIODATA.AND THEIR HOBBYS AND WHAT THEY LIKE AND DISLIKES.
WE ALSO DID DRAMAS AS A GROUP TO LEARN ABOUT GROUP WORK.SECOND DAY WE DID DRAWING TO TEST OUR DRAWING SKILL AS A STUDENT AND ALSO THROUGH DRAWING WE CAN SHOW WHAT WE LEARN SO FAR IN TASK THAT WE DID.THIRD DAY WE DID SOME EXERCISE TO REFRESH OUR BODY AND MIND.AND WE ALSO DID SOME QUIZ BASED ON GENERAL KNOWLEDEGE.ON FOURTH DAY WE REGISTER OUR SUBJECT OF MY COURSE.IT WAS VERY FUN TO ENTER UNIVERSITY.

THE SOLUTION
The
Biogas Backpack is a pillow shaped balloon from flexible, gas tight material,
plastic sheet and fabric. The two inner layers are made of gas tight PE-sheet,
welded at the two open ends and equipped with a welded, threaded flange,
holding a mini ball valve. The backpack is filled with biogas from the biogas
plant by simple pressure equalization instead of by pump or compressor.
Therefore, it does not need to be equipped with a security valve to release gas
in the case of over pressure.
To use
the Biogas Backpack efficiently, it would make sense to produce the biogas in
one central, technically advanced biogas plant. This way, farmers in the
surrounding areas could contribute to the biogas production by selling
substrate to the plant owner in exchange for biogas and fertilizer.
Because of the limited amount of biogas, the
high content (30-60%) of non-flammable CO² in biogas and the non-pressurized
status of the gas, there is no risk of an explosion. Even if in contact with
open fire, the backpack does not explode, but rather burns down in a controlled
manner. To avoid accidents with leaking gas, the backpack is designed to be
stored outside the house.

BACKGROUND
INFORMATION
Combustible
materials which are used for cooking, such as firewood and charcoal, are
associated with a range of problems in many countries. Gathering these
materials is time-consuming and difficult, also, because they are often in
short supply. In addition, cooking with these materials can cause significant
health problems. Replacing wood fuels, biogas can alleviate such problems while
simultaneously reducing deforestation and soil erosion. However, once produced
in biogas digesters it is very difficult to transport the gas to the respective
households.
SOCIAL IMPACT
The Biogas Backpack aims to provide poor rural households with an
affordable source of energy for lighting or cooking, thereby improving living
conditions. Helping to avoid the time consuming task of collecting fuel wood,
the biogas backpack helps to ease the daily work of women in developing
countries. In addition, health risks can be minimized as burning biogas is nearly
smokeless.
This solution was developed in order
to facilitate the sale of biogas in developing countries and therefore makes it
possible to start a business.
