Tripura professor invents tools to wash hands without direct contact

Tripura University professor Harjeet Nath, who had hogged the limelight with his unique invention of “Covid 19 warbot” as it seemed continued to work wholeheartedly to serve humanity using technology.

After he has been well appreciated for designing a robot to prevent direct touch between under-treatment patients and doctors in an attempt to minimize the chances of contracting the disease, yet again came up with other tools that would help you wash your hands without any direct touch. Both the sanitizing or soap points and water tap systems were accumulated in a way that nobody had to touch the tap or the sanitizer or hand wash bottle—all using indigenous and locally available tools.

Explain his new project he said, “This is an assemblage and right way of fixing the tools. For hand wash or sanitizer there is a stand that dispenses the liquid once you put your leg on the clutch like a paddle affixed in the bottom. In the second, there is a separate basin where you will wash off your hands with water. The beauty of the system is the third part where there is a small water treatment facility that effectively saves water. That means the water you put there could be used-reused and once again used after recycling”.

The water treatment facilities installed there, he said, can even kill the microorganisms of the water which means the water becomes once again cleaner to be used once again. The residuals of the wasted water, however, get out of the system through a spate panel.

Nath also added that his contactless (pedal operated) soap dispensing stand cum hand wash system with an Integrated wastewater recovery unit for preserving and reusing water developed in his lab would soon be used in Tripura University campus for all campus dwellers coming to campus.
