Wireless electricity sensing machine The sudden demise of his friend who was a line man in state electricity board due to electric shock while working on 220V line (power which surged through 11kv feeder line), left him at aghast. It was then he thought of making a device, which could prevent such incidents in the future. Conventionally, small testers are used for detecting electric current with direct human body contact. Rishikesh has come up with a handheld electricity sensing device, which is compact, portable and light in weight. This device is wireless and can sense electric current upto 11 KV from 11 meters away from ground. It can check electric current in transformers and concealed wires too.The device has been tested and certified by Kerala State Electricity Board. He has been a crusader for the ‘Save Energy Campaign’ in his area. As a result of this campaign, a village, Muhamma, could boast of having received electricity 24 hours during a period when load shredding exercise was going on in entire Kerala. This was possible only because the villagers had been trained to use electricity judiciously. He organizes small camps on energy conservation practices and conducts voluntary classes for police cadets, school children, and SHGs. He also participates in anti-drug campaigns. He is a good singer and likes to sing song when he is free. Rishikesh is currently developing a device, which will stop electric supply when a line would accidently be snapped.
