Celebrating Diwali in Delhi Without Firecrackers: A DIY Science Activity Shows the Way

Regarding blanket ban on green firecrackers in Delhi this year too, I have some good news for those who are sad by the ban and I have attached a picture and video below.

Let me quote Dr. Ghadge an expert as reported in the media:

“…Apart from this, a ban on firecrackers often encourages people to explore eco-friendly and sustainable ways to celebrate, the expert said, adding that LED lights, lanterns or diyas, help lower environmental and health impact…”

In this context, I also realised that, besides banning firecrackers, a safer attractive alternative if provided will prevent kids from procuring polluting, conventional firecrackers sold secretly by many shops in my neighborhood in the Vasant Kunj B7 pocket in spite of complete ban last year.

In our Frugal Innovation Lab For Societal Benefit, I have developed an attractive alternative to conventional noise & environment polluting firecracker by designing a non-firecracker based multiple LED Whistling Rocket Copter ‘NeelGagan’ launcher which launches several non-polluting, noise-less rockets which only gets activated by a small Diya.

It works on the elementary Physics principle taught in the school of potential energy being gradually converted into kinetic energy.

After ISRO’s success with Chandrayan 3 Lunar mission, successful launching of Aditya L1 Solar mission and manned Gaganyaan mission in future, has fascinated and excited both kids & grownups about rockets.

I am sure my safe, environment friendly prototype ‘NeelGagan’ will be a great hit with masses as a DIY activity for all age groups and will bring community together which is line with Peter F Drucker’s (well-known management guru) concept of Innovation.

Once launched simultaneously, these several whistling LED Rocket copters soar 60 feet high and light up the sky with multiple-coloured lights and almost looks like fireworks display and the fun is to catch these rockets when they return back to the ground slowly spinning like a helicopter.

Unlike conventional polluting, noise generating firecracker rockets, my LED whistling rocket copters can be quickly mounted on the innovative launcher designed and one kid or adult can then launch them simultaneously in the air.

This concept will not only protect our health, eardrums, environment and eco system but will also help small businesses as it will be an incentive for them to mass produce such whistling LED Rocket copters and sell them.
