Viral video of construction worker converting old Bajaj scooter into electric pulley impresses Anand Mahindra

Anand Mahindra, an industrialist, is known to upload entertaining videos on social media sites. From thought-provoking to desi jugaads, his articles entertain the internet. In his most recent tweet, the business magnate offers a video of a scooter modified to power a pulley.

The mother of invention is needed. This proverb has been verified over and again, with people creating new technology to make life simpler.

A group of construction workers is shown using an old Bajaj scooter to move heavy goods at a building site in a video uploaded by Mahindra on Twitter. The video begins with a man sitting on a scooter that has been parked in one location at a construction site. It depicts a pulley hooked to a turning wheel by metal rods to the scooter, while the other is tied to the bags. Cement sacks are raised to the top of the under-construction skyscraper while the guy turns the scooter's accelerator.



Sharing the video, Mahindra wrote, "I guess that's why we call them ‘powertrains'. Many ways to utilise the power of vehicle engines. This would be even better (and quieter!) with an e-scooter, once their cost is brought down or they are available second-hand."

The post, which was shared on December 6, has received over 303,000 views and several astonished and thankful comments from netizens. While some gushed over it, others pointed out that it's an old method that has been done for years.

A Twitter user commented. "This could be done in a more efficient way by using a four stroke Diesel engine as prime mover. A two stroke 100cc petrol engine along with gears etc is a waste of power in friction and other heat losses. Just using a scooter for the sake of it is not innovation."
