Grassroots Innovation - Small Diesel Engine for Motorbikes
Mansukhbhai Sanchaniya Suthar of Gujarat, India owns an automobile service centre and he has around 40 years of experience in repairing diesel engines. He has also worked as a lathe operator for a few years in a manufacturing company. His vast experience with diesel engine made him to take up the challenge of making a smaller diesel engine than what he saw at an exhibition. In order to develop the engine Manshukhbhai tried various combinations of materials and many times they used to burn out of excess heat. However, his hard work and dedicated effort paid off and he was able to develop a small 3.5 hp four stroke diesel engine.
Features and advantages of the grassroots innovation
This compact diesel engine is just half in size as compared to other conventional engines of similar ratings. The engine with its volume of 205 cubic cm is capable of generating 3.5 brake horse power at 4500 rpm.
Manshukhbhai has used special aluminum alloy for some components of the engine like engine block and cylinder head which makes the engine just one third in weight as compared to the other conventional diesel engines. So, it also has a higher strength to weight ratio.
The machine has an improved cooling system and it require less lubricants to operate.
This diesel engine can be used in motorbikes because of its compact size and light weight. When tested on a bike, the engine gave a mileage of 100 km per liter.
Apart from two wheelers, this diesel engine can be used in pumps, mini-flours mills, elevators etc.
Support and recognition of the small diesel engine
Manshukhbhai is well known for his skills, knowledge and experience in his area. Some diesel engine manufactures use to call him for his suggestions in developing better diesel engines and solving other R&D problems. His innovative diesel engine appeared in regional newspapers.
National Innovation Foundation, India (NIF) also recognized his innovation and has awarded it in its biennial national competition for unaided green grassroots innovations and traditional knowledge. Manshukhbhai has received a certificate of appreciation from NIF's sister organization SRISTI. NIF has also funded him in the development and testing of the prototype of his innovation. Manshukhbhai is sure that the engine can be developed at a cost of Rs. 12000.

Why does the engine block have to be grounded to the chassis when it is CONNECTED to the chassis?
I am upgrading my big three and i am frustrated. My 1994 Ford Ranger is cluttered under the hood and it's hard to do anything. I can't find/get to my engine block ground to upgrade it. Can I just attach anywhere to the engine block and chassis to upgrade it's ground. Why can't I just ground the alternator housing or whatever?
Most motor mounts are actually made partly of rubber, with no actual metal continuity from engine to chassis. Vehicles need a fairly thick ground wire from the engine back to the battery (ultimately) because of the starter, which takes way more current than any other electrical item. This ground wire can either be directly back to the battery, or to the chassis, then another from the chassis to the battery. A smaller ground strap is required from the chassis back to the battery to provide a return path for the other electrical items, if the one from the engine goes straight to the battery.
Probably best to avoid using the Alternator for your engine ground connection, as it could fry the diodes or the voltage regulator that most of them contain nowadays. Same with ignition system components. The magnetic field that current running through a wire creates is another factor there. Otherwise, pretty much any substantial piece of metal should do fine.
Nick brings up a good point I had forgotten to mention. On vehicles with frames, a ground between the frame and the body can be important too. Had some really whacky taillight action on my old pickup truck when the strap between the bed and the frame broke on me. On unibody vehicles, it's all the same.
