MOTIHARI (Bihar): A person hailing from East Champaran district has invented a generator silencer which would not only be helpful in keeping the environment clean but would also help to deal with the problem of global warming.

Virendra Kumar Sinha, a resident of Belbanwa colony of the town, has inveneted the silencer cum exhaust filter for the generator set after a hard work of six years.

Sinha said his product was put under test in three stages in the laboratory of Birla Institute of Technology (BIT), Ranchi, where the lab technicians reached on the conclusion that the product was capable of reducing the harmful carbon-dioxide and carbon-monoxide gases to the extent of 60 to 70 per cent emitted by the genset.

After the lab test at BIT, the product also got patent for the innvotion on September 17, 2008 by Indian Patent Office, Kolkata. The patent registration number for the product is A K No.- 1520/Kolkata/2008.

The invention would help in checking the global warming also, Sinha said adding that the exhaust silencer was capable of sucking the carbon gases inside its drum reducing the level of carbon emission into the environment to the level of 70 per cent.

The idea to go for such invention came first when the people of his colony complained that his generator set emits polluted air and makes too much sound, Sinha said.
