Abstract

Paper presents development of machine used for making a log from Cow Dung. Use of bio-mass as a renewable energy source widely increased. The application of cow dung log in various purposes like for manure, cooking and heating of boiler chamber. In rural India from ancient time cow dung cakes are produced by using hands. But this process is more time consuming and low production rate activity, it is necessary to use alternative source of energy for making cow dung log. Paper aims to compare and review on available cow dung log making machine and propose to use a alternative source of energy i.e. cow dung log making machine energized by Human Powered. It provides gainful employability and capability of earning to the people of rural & urban area in the interest of economic development.
