The pedal powered generator designed by Windstream, an

OEM manufacturer located in Vermont, USA is perfect for

emergencies, power failures, remote locations, and off-grid

applications. It can be pedaled or cranked by hand to charge

12 volt batteries and run small appliances. The typical average

continuous power that can be generated by pedaling the

Human Power Generator is up to about 80 watts. The

maximum power obtainable through hand cranking typically is

about 50 watts.

The pedals and optional hand-cranks are interchangeable.

Re-engineered for more strength, easier adjustment, and

smooth operation, the new Human Power Generator is the tool

for energy education and self-reliant electrical production.

Windstream is well positioned to take center stage as one of

the only established makers of human-powered generators.

That Indian Railways is building the world's highest

railway bridge is a well known fact for many. What is

less known is that this arch bridge, being built over the

Chenab river in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, is

taller than Paris' famous Eiffel Tower! The Chenab

river rail bridge, designed by consultants from Finland

and Germany, is 'blast proof' and is being built to

withstand earthquakes.

The bridge will be 1.315-km-long and is being built at a

height of 359 metres above the Chenab river. This

bridge shall be 35 metres taller than the Eiffel tower!

and will have stations at both the ends.According to

Indian Railways, the second and third highest railway

arch bridges are Najiehe Railway bridge (at a height of 310 m) at Liuchangxiang, Guizhou, China and Bejpan

River Shuibai Railway bridge (at a height of 275 m) at Liupanshui, Guizhou, China. DRDO works closely with

Indian Railways to make sure that the Rs 12,000-crore bridge can withstand any major blast in the region. To

enhance the safety and security, the bridge is being made of 63 mm-thick special blast-proof steel. Steel is

economical and can take temperatures as low as 20 degrees Celsius. This is a crucial factor, given the location of

the bridge. Additionally, steel can resist speed of above 250 kmph as well.

About 24,000-plus tonnes of steel will be used in the construction of the bridge.
