presentation is jugaad or innovation
frugal how to do more with less
so here I show you some fridges so
rest assured I will not sell
fridges to penguins
but I will try to
sell to indian african states
so I try to sell a month fridge
Westerners to Indians and
African
what do I like to ask as
question i will tell myself in india and in
Africa
So it’s hot is what I will
to do banally I’m going to increase the
power of my fridge to be able
meet their needs
the illustrations I’m showing you actually
it’s illustrations that you
will find in the in mind in the
philosophy jugaad so the first
illustration this is the answer that has
been given by indians his fridges
mythical swell which is one of the elements
founders of frugal innovation so
it’s an Indian potter who invented a
fridge for the local public
big interests he does not need
electricity and there is a second
solution that I appreciate a lot too
it’s the solution that was invented
by the Tuareg who is also very
malignant what they did
I’m not going to tell you that a weight
rule inevitably in the desert he
will have difficulties in electricity
so what are they doing they have in
actually used two jars they have
bet one in the second and I use
a property that is very simple
is that in May water in the sun s
evaporate and evaporating
temperature drops so that’s enough to
refrigerate the inside of the enclosure
and it actually allows the user
to keep its products
stop in the literature it says
that they can actually keep
or keep a tomato they go the
keep 20 days so that answers to
their needs
and there now I will try to
to share a slice of life
that is what I experienced myself
then we will change the register
the weight of words the shock of photos
rest assured that I did not live I
caught an incident
on the ministry website an old
accident the picture does not match
accident by the way but that’s for
show you what it can
represent an accident of this type there
so what actually happened
on a gas storage site
at one point there was a
malfunction somewhere and there is
of gas that has been flowing in the pipe in
the wrong way
a classic the problem is that in
did he go back into a boiler
it makes the boiler explode and
the ministry website the firefighters have
set around 45 minutes for
to be a center
so these are serious accidents
touch wood I ‘ve never lived
but me as an engineer in
maintenance in a company in
different companies
I did the pharma I made the
petrochemistry
I did metallurgy I saw
what I saw small accidents and
as much as this one this big accident
it is treated because indeed it
incidents we will set up
technology what is that which has
past we will set up a sensor
we will put in place intelligence
to try to simply prevent
a fluid to flow in the other direction
that’s the vision we’re going to say
common common big risks big
technical solutions but imagine a
simpler illustration geipan case
I have an agribusiness company
they will mix jam of
strawberries with quince jam
but in fact he wanted to make
strawberry cookies to me
personally I do not like jam
Quince I will not eat
cookies but it’s a simpler case
on an anomaly like that she’ll be
treated the way I push you
why because they slaughter
dangerous behind we lost a little
jam but I told myself to
through the implementation of solutions
simple and the question I asked myself
she’s as silly as that is at
to say I have a fluid that I’m going
keep from going around in the wrong
meaning and I want to find a solution
simple I put myself a constraint
like the Indians and the Africans has
previously I said to myself I’m going
let implement a solution
who do not use electricity
that’s the idea I will not do you
a course in fluid mechanics
it would not be very interesting
against what does it illustrate this
idea that I actually implemented
simple mechanical solutions that
were available to all
world for a long time
and I have shapes and arrange
otherwise what did I do in
did I put a dish so please a
club and it’s a mechanical device
very simple that prevents a fluid
to go the wrong way but there I
did not use to ensure this
function there I used as a sensor
that’s the first Russian system
the second trick is that I used
a fault so here I will not go
in the detail of the mechanics of
fluids and I sought to amplify the
default of this club
this flap through a membrane and I
will explain to you to brac osr is then
to insure way on the insulation
product circle I can stop it I
put a valve or a faucet but
remember I told you everything to
the time I had imposed myself as
constraint of not having
electricity available so a
valve I’m not going to do you a course
she will not close herself alone so
I have someone who will monitor this
is happening in this trio that will close
the valve is not the solution I have
taken be I’m going to make available
energy and willy thaler energy
I do not have how I refused I
am told the energy I have none but by
against what I will try to do
it is to store it
I store them in a spring here
just what are you
said just now about the trick of
the membrane is in fact the defect
of the clapage and amplify and well that
just lets you imagine a little
hook that will come free and who
will come will allow the sale to close
The circle is complete
I have a solution that is simple what
what lies behind this solution
simple multiple applications and
that’s the interest of thought
jugaad ie that through the
implementation of simple solutions
opens a field of investigation and
of applications that is extremely
large
in addition to other interests is that we
is so drowned by technology
sometimes we do not understand why
serves there I did you a class of
fluid mechanics in two minutes
I think you have quite
seized what was it used to say that
tomorrow if in your environment in
your industrial universe or elsewhere it
was an event that was happening
you would say maintenance and a solution
any simple that exists I’m going to
enforce
then in the process it was my
gait
I have an idea it’s beautiful
great but enthusiastic but there is
still a verdict is something
part we will file a patent a patent
it’s extraordinary because we do
a search of the prior art
anteriority search is the basis
human engineering data
there are many extraordinary ideas
and what did I find in this
database an invention a patent
which dates from 1956 globally the inventor
had the same problem how sr who
wanted to prevent a fluid from going in
the wrong way he used
overall the same cunning circus he has
good year badly use a flapper for
come measure the direction of the fluid but by
against he was less jugaad than me
and yet in 1956 electricity
was a little less available she
is today
he said I will use
electricity to close my valve
you have patent of 56 you have a
problem 2016 the patent 2016 what is it
it’s a simple sketch I show you
this shell after I would be told no no
no it’s not possible it’s too simple
this is what I was told it frequently
told me it’s not possible that you are
more invented that in 2016 that already had
to be invented before the anteriority has
proved no and then it’s too much
simple it will not work so
we go to the stage after
prototype quite a bit nicer when
even I have three deaths to wow etc.
so we worked with a team
of students trying to keep the
thought I spoil ie say to themselves
we stay on a device that must
to be generalized
we have to focus on the solution
demonstrate to people that it
works
the students he had six months ahead
them to do something that works
they did something that worked and
behind since the video and
published actually people I tell them
of art keep its margin
that’s the proof and so I could not
to stop me from mentioning bertrand piccard
who is someone I admire
enormously and that summarizes
actually doubt and work that
must make a pioneer to succeed at
to prove to people that it works
pioneers at first we believe them crazy we
do not care about their failure
actually when I laid this
sketch at the beginning we took a little for
a crazy and then in the end when that
works people tell him but
it’s absolutely obvious I have a
deep respect for that person and
I could not help but put a
quote from sabah the future then there this
stage he showed earlier
and I was told but it’s weird because
that your future is going the wrong way
in fact visually the future we do it
to the east from there it is perhaps
subconscious but actually my vision of
future is that we must
also take inspiration from the past and it was
also my way of apprehending
things that is, that’s what we
said earlier I have a
unfortunate tendency to leave the frame
and maybe when everyone
said the future he is here I think
that he is on our side but
overall what happened
three years ago I had the idea
I said to myself I’m going to go
created a start-up mechanical
actually talks a lot of startups
as a rule of start up from
things internet technologies of this
guy there and I created a start up
mechanical
after that what happened
I met people I was
accompanied there are people who believed
and it really made me hot
to be accompanied and the people who
took me for a crazy but I remember
that the people who helped me and who
accompanied me I thank them and
since what happened to
from the moment we created a
demonstrator
we showed people that it
was working what happened
for about six months I have signed a
partnership with a sovereign wealth fund
will help me promote the idea is
currently I am in contact with
multinationals in the field of
faucets and fluids for
promote this idea
so it’s an adventure I was not
said it was impossible I had
said it was possible but I
thought it would be otherwise a lot
more modestly and actually this
adventure she’s taking a
boom that is extraordinary
and to conclude if I had some
ideas to remember it’s facing a
problematic
do not hesitate to leave the frame because
when we leave the frame
sometimes we have to propose
solutions that are dreadfully simple
and caen proposes a simple solution
what does it mean it’s simple
it’s easy to understand
it’s reliable it’s cheap and so
it can be generalized that’s
one of the important notions and the
philosophy jugaad imposes us
guide to simple solutions so
it’s a philosophy that has milking
is otherwise across
actually the implementation of
simple solutions
it’s not just technological innovation
that we must see we must also see that
it projects us into the world of
tomorrow
if tomorrow this device that allows to
preserve the environment and
also preserve resources
there is somewhere we will have won and we
will have advanced and we will have inspired the
probant thank you
