Drying Orange Slices with Hybrid Solar Tunnel – A Breakthrough in Food Preservation

On January 10, 2025, a successful demonstration of drying orange slices using the Hybrid Solar Tunnel was conducted at the Food Technology Lab, under the expert guidance of Dr. Shahzada Arshad Saleem Saddozai, a renowned Food Technologist.

Initially developed for ripening and drying dates, this innovative technology has been replicated at 47 locations in Paniaylia, Pharapur, and Dhakki, demonstrating its versatility and effectiveness.

The Food Technology Lab has successfully expanded its application to dry a variety of fruits and vegetables, including:

- Orange slices
- Figs, apricots, and mango slices
- Lemons
- Spinach, mint leaves, and coriander
- Cauliflower
- Tomatoes
- Bitter gourd

This eco-friendly, efficient, and affordable technology is transforming food preservation, reducing waste, and providing farmers with a sustainable solution to process their produce.

EXAMPLE OF A SOLAR WATER PUMP'S IMPACT ON A FARM:
Let's consider a farmer, Mr. Ali, who cultivates a 2-acre vegetable farm. Traditionally, Mr. Ali relied on manual labor and a small, diesel-powered pump for irrigation. However, he recently installed a solar water pump system with a capacity to pump 8,000 liters of water per hour.

POSITIVE IMPACTS:
1. Increased Productivity:
- Consistent and timely irrigation has led to healthier and more vigorous plant growth.
Mr. Ali has observed a significant increase in the yield of his crops, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and leafy greens. For instance, his tomato yield increased from 10 tons per acre to 15 tons per acre.
2. Expanded Cultivation:
- The abundant water supply has allowed Mr. Ali cultivates additional crops, such as water-intensive crops like watermelon and okra, which were previously not feasible.
3. COST SAVINGS:
- Eliminating the need for diesel fuel has significantly reduced operational costs.
- Mr. Ali can now reinvest these savings into improving soil quality, purchasing better seeds, or expanding his farm operations.
4. IMPROVED WATER MANAGEMENT:
- The solar pump allows for more precise irrigation, minimizing water wastage and maximizing water efficiency.
- This is crucial in regions with limited water resources, helping to conserve water and prevent overuse.
5. Environmental Benefits:
- No greenhouse gas emissions from diesel fuel, reducing the carbon footprint.
- Reduced noise pollution compared to traditional diesel-powered pumps.
QUANTIFIABLE EXAMPLE:
- Before the solar pump, Mr. Ali's average monthly income from vegetable sales was $1,500.
- After installing the solar pump and optimizing irrigation, his monthly income increased to $2,200.
- This translates to a 47% increase in income, demonstrating the significant economic benefits of solar water pumping technology.
This example illustrates how a solar water pump can revolutionize farming practices, leading to increased productivity, reduced costs, improved water management, and a more sustainable and profitable agricultural enterprise.

Green Technology

Green technology promotes sustainability through innovations like renewable energy and eco-friendly materials. Solar panels, wind turbines, and biodegradable products reduce environmental impact. Green tech adoption supports global climate goals.

I don't know why no one is talking about the environmental impact of draining underground water. The rate it is drain is faster than it is replenished. Yet we get flooded annually and no plans to create more reservoirs or develop plants with less need for much water for irrigation

Monkey Story:

Once up a time there were three monkeys. Daddy monkey, Mummy monkey and Baby monkey. They lived in a tree on the plains in Africa. There was not much to do in their tree, they were bored.

“I’m bored" said Baby monkey.

“Let’s go shopping," said Mummy monkey.

“Don’t be stupid," said Daddy monkey, “we’ve not got any cash."

“We don’t need cash," replied Mummy monkey. “We’re monkeys."

“Now that is a good point," said Daddy monkey.

“So how do we get into town?" asked Baby monkey.

“Get the bus of course. How else. We can’t drive a car," replied dad.

“A number 44, should be along fairly soon," said Mummy monkey. “We could get that. It goes right into the center of the city."

The monkeys wandered over to the bus top avoiding the lions who were looking very hungry that morning and waited for a bus.

Soon enough a number 44 came along and they jumped on.

“Fairs please," said the driver.

The monkeys just ignored the driver as they didn’t have the correct change, because they didn’t have pockets because they were monkeys.

Have you ever noticed the handles on straps on buses that hang down from the rails on buses? That’s in case the bus ever stops in Africa and monkeys want to get on. Or South America, there are monkeys there and they have prehensile tails which means they can hang from them using their tails. However I have digressed.

The monkeys started swinging on the straps as monkeys are inclined to do. After all they are monkeys, but not using their tails as they were African monkeys.

“Oi," said the driver. “Monkeys stop that!"

The monkeys being monkeys just ignored the driver, after all they never do anything a human tells them. That’s why they don’t make good pets. So children never ask your mummy or daddy for a pet monkey. It will just wreck your house. Oops I’ve digressed again.

The driver stopped the bus, they were still in the middle of the savannah. “Right monkeys, off the bus," the driver shouted.

The monkeys jumped out of a window, as the driver was looking quite angry. The window had been left open because it was a really hot day, which it often is in Africa.

The three monkeys then went and sat on the roof. The driver didn’t notice what the monkeys had done and soon the bus started off again. The monkeys could hear the driver mutter ruse words like ‘poo’ under his breath.

“Hey look" Baby Monkey shouted.

“What?" replied Mummy monkey.

“There’s some giraffes"

“Well yes you get giraffes in Africa," Daddy monkey replied.

“Why don’t we get any near our tree?"

“The lions scare them off."

“Can’t we ask the lions not to eat them?"

“Well we don’t want the giraffes coming and eating our leaves do we?"

“I suppose not," Baby monkey replied.

Soon they reached the city center and spotted a particularly large shop.

“I want to go shopping in there," said Mummy monkey pointing to that large department store and jumping off the bus roof.

“What are you going to get?" asked Daddy following.

“Shoes and a dress, I’m a lady monkey. What else do ladies get in the shops?

“What are you going to get?" she asked.

“Don’t know," perhaps the latest Manchester United top.

“Man United, I didn’t know you liked football. Anyway, we don’t live in Manchester, we live in Africa."

“Most Manchester supporters don’t live in Manchester."

“Yes but you should support a local team?"

“Such as?"

“I don’t know what they’re called but some of the gazelles have taken to kicking some stones about."

“It’s hardly the same is it?"

“No I suppose not, so what else are you going to get?"

“A big, flat screen tally."

“So how are you going to get that home?"

“On the bus of course."

“We don’t have anywhere to plug it in, I don’t know if you’d noticed but there aren’t many sockets in our tree."

“I’m going to get a solar powered one."

“What about at night when the Man U are playing in the Champions league."

“We’ll have to record it," Daddy monkey said and went and hung from a light fitting.

“What can I get," asked Baby Monkey.

“Whatever you like," replied his mother.

“I want a comic and an ice cream because I’m hot and I want a radio controlled helicopter to annoy the lions with and a lot of Lego to build a tree just like our, so we can live in a Lego tree and I want car and a train set and a Barbie doll."

“What do you want a Barbie for?" Daddy asked from his light.

“Let him have a Barbie," mother said.

“Cause she’s a monkey doctor, that’s her new job." Baby added, “Monkey doctor. She can cure you if you get an itchy bottom."

“I never get an itchy bottom." Daddy Monkey replied indignantly.

“Why do you keep scratching it then?" Mother asked.

“I’m a monkey, monkeys are supposed to scratch their bottoms."

Aliens, also known as extraterrestrials, are hypothetical beings from other worlds. The possibility of alien life has fascinated humans for centuries, sparking intense debate, scientific research, and popular culture.

*The Search for Alien Life*

Astronomers and astrobiologists have been searching for signs of alien life using various methods, including:
