RAPID Solar Dryer (Rapid Agricultural Produce Indirect Dryer) – This is an improved solar drying Technology that will change current farmer reliance on direct sun-light for drying of produce in rural low income settings. The technology will make agricultural produce drying more efficient for different types of produce, reducing losses, aflatoxin contamination and drag.

– imparting a unique component in the dryer
– Ideas feeding into the design of a larger/bigger prototype for bulk produce
– security of the large prototype

Focused on Innovation as a cornerstone and key transformational element for development, The Innovation Garage guided by the Theme “Catalyzing Engineering Solutions” is well positioned to assist Innovators refine their ideas. This is accomplished through a partnership with the Innovation Consortium group, a powerful combination of experienced Engineers with Practical experience, human and technology based Networks. The Innovation Garage which is hosted monthly (Every last Friday of the Month) at the EA RILab is a great platform for Innovators to build and get quick fixes of their projects collaboratively with very creative and brave individuals. The Innovation Garage is supporting local Talent to come forth with Local Engineering solutions for our community challenges.
