Industrialist Anand Mahindra routinely brings to the fore some of the most fascinating content available on the Internet. The latest is a video of a scooter that has been customised to power a pulley. In the clip, tweeted by Mr Mahindra, a man is seen seated on a scooter, which has been secured in one place at a construction site. As he opens the throttle, cement bags are seen being lifted to the top of the under-construction building.
The video also shows how the pulley is being driven by the scooter. One end of a rope is attached to the scooter's engine via a lever while the other is tied to the bags.
Lauding the innovation, Mr Mahindra wrote, "I guess that's why we call them ‘power'trains. Many ways to utilise the power of vehicle engines. This would be even better (and quieter!) with an e-scooter, once their cost is brought down or they are available second-hand.”
