Scie ntists in In dia have inven ted a new way to produce electricity. Their inven ti on does not get it 'power from oil, coal or other fuels. It produces electricity with the power of an imals. I ndia has about eighty million bullocks. They do all kinds of jobs. They work in the fields. They pull vehicles through the streets. They carry water containers. Indian energy officials have been look ing for ways to use less imported oil to provide en ergy. Scie ntists at the Nati onal In stitute for In dustrial Engin eeri ng in Bombay won dered whether the millio ns of bullocks could help. Many villages in India lack electricity, but they have many bullocks. And often the animals are not working. One job done by bullocks is to pump water out of the well. The animals do this by walk ing around and around in a circle. A s they walk, they turn a heavy stick that makes the pump move. This simple tech no logy is cen turies old. Scie ntists thought that the same tech no logy could be used to produce electricity. Bullocks walk in a circle only two or three times a minute. This is much to slow to produce electricity, but it can create eno ugh power to turn a series of gears（ 齿轮）. A large gear sits to a small gear. As the large gear turns, it calls the small gear to turn. That gear turns an even smaller one. Each gear moves faster because it is a little smaller. The smallest gear may turn extremely fast. Clocks operate with gears. So do cars and so does the device（设备） inven ted by the In dia n scie ntists to produce electricity.

According to the officials in the United Nations, the idea is being tested at several places in In dia. The device is easy to operate and repair. And it can be moved easily. It costs about three hun dred and seve n dollars to make such a device, but producti on of large nu mbers of them could cut the cost of each to about two hun dred dollars.
