Details of Innovation	In India, over 7,500,000 electric motors are operated for agricultural purposes. In many cases the discharge velocity of water from the pipe is very high leading to a lot of loss of knetic energy. In a survey conducted by the inventor, it was found that there was a marked mismatch betwee suction and delivery in many motor pump sets. Dr. Jagadeesh desgned a device to tap the residual kinetic energy and to reduce exit losses (without disturbing the pipes). A diverging section is fitted to the discharge end. The divergent truncated cone is about 1 ft. in height with a 10 degree angle to avoid separation in the diverging section. This arrangement leads to considerbale savings in power (since energy is proportional to the square of velocity).
