Electricity from Pathar-Kuchi
I was amazed to read an article in Jugantor on 2nd February 2009. According to the article, electricity could be generated from Pathar-Kuchi, an indigenous plant of Bangladesh. I don't know the scientific name of the plant. It was claimed that substantial amount of electricity could be generated with the technology proposed by Dr. Kamrul Amal Khan, Chairman of the Department of Physics of Jagannath University and three of his associates. They explained in a seminar in Dhaka that 60-100 megawatt electricity could be generated from Pathar-Kuchi produced only from one acre of land. Click here to view the full article.
