Microcontroller senses the various parameters and create corresponding data packet to transfer those via Wi-Fi Modem to attached Mobile based Application, which consists of Instructions that process the data required to monitor its impact on environment.
The current invention utilizes approximately fifty percent less wood and the time required is also being reduced. The current setup is portable and the base is made up of Silica and Fire bricks which contain the fire and helps prevent the loss of heat.
Best Method of Working:
1. It is an Eco- friendly method of performing Antyesti or the funeral rites for the dead in Hinduism, which usually involves cremation of the body.
2. Complete sterilization is possible since the temperature using this cart can be raised to over 1600 ?C.
3. Less consumption of wood hence less expensive. Generally in traditional funeral pyre 300 to 400 kg of fire wood is required whereas using this cart the firewood quantity can be reduced to nearly half of the traditional method.
4. Time saving since it saves valuable resources like wood consumption & cow dung cakes, thereby saving the same in form of bio- fertilizers for organic farming. Thus saving the environment as well.
5. Being a movable cart, it becomes convenient to perform all cremation rituals
6. The ritual of kapalakriya, or the ritual of piercing the burning skull with a stave (bamboo fire poker) to make a hole or break it, in order to release the spirit, can be performed with ease.
7. It has been observed during the combustion process lower abdomen portion of the body is the last to combust due to presence of high amount of tissue mass and bones. In this invention high amount of air is circulated in this region for proper and speedy combustion, resulting in fewer requirements of woods.
8. All those who attend the cremation, are exposed to the dead body or cremation smoke, using this cart the cremation rituals can be performed in clean and less polluting manner.
9. Collection of ashes popularly known as ‘phool’ will be collected in a dignified manner using a tray beneath the cart. After cremation, the mourner will collect the ashes and consecrate it to a water body, such as a river.
