VN: 'Farmer scientist'

Referring to Mr. Nguyen Duy Tien (born in 1952), people remember his interesting and useful initiatives, such as 'electronic hens', and the test of the concentration of borax in food for results. fast, children under 12 months old automatically run batteries, and tell them to wake up .

Leaving the army, continue studying at the Faculty of Mathematics - Hanoi University. In 1980, he returned to work at the Technical Center for Vocational Vocational Training in Hai Duong province.

With many initiatives that surprised friends right from the time of students, but met him, everyone called with an intimate name 'farmer scientist', in accordance with his close and simple style.

From 2001-2003, Mr. Tien had six scientific research products with nine technical innovation awards. With those results, at the end of 2005, he was one of the outstanding individuals of Hai Duong Province honored to participate in the National Emulation Congress in Hanoi.

'Electronic hens'

Talking about 'electronic hens' , a invention of his KH-CN product is widely applied in all poultry farms in Hung Yen, Hai Duong, Ha Tay, he said it came to him in a way. accidental. When witnessing the 'ambition' to enrich the farmers of their hometowns, they invest heavily in poultry hatching but fail, because the hatching rate is only 20-30%, the research is done, he plays. now, the oil incubator farmer, electrically, lacks a scientific 'argument' and he 'catches' the limitations of this manual hatching method.

In order to successfully implement the idea, he was forced to 'transfer technology' by unleashing a Russian electric blanket to get parts. Then looking for cheap domestic accessories to assemble the hatching system, in 2001, he successfully built the "electronic hens". The chickens hatched with this chirping system were born, perhaps it was his boundless happiness after the days of persistent implementation of the project.

The original electronic chicken only hatched 200 pigs / batch, he gradually improved to 3000 / batch, and now 5000 pieces / batch, hatching rate reaches 90-100%.

This invention brought him the prize to encourage Vifotec nationwide. It can be said that the automatic incubator is an electronic hens, a robot that implements an incubation task, bringing great economic efficiency to farmers in the Northern Delta provinces.

'Prepare textbooks', resist stealing electricity

'Farmer scientist' Nguyen Duy Tien is also the 'father' of many other useful inventions, such as sawdust presses with a capacity of 4 barrels / hour or pressing coal bran into honeycomb coal with a capacity of 2401 tablets / hour. deploying sound amplifiers cum teaching aids and toys forging creativity for children .

Most recently, he successfully built a digital ballast for energy-saving fluorescent lamps . His invention saves electricity and increases fluorescent lamp life by 1.5 times compared to normal ballasts. With a digital ballast, he was put on the program "Everyday an idea" by VTV .

But he was more than satisfied when he prepared his own lesson against the "thief". This initiative came to him as well as an opportunity. In the process of making incubators, it is important to reduce power consumption to a minimum, but other incubator owners are not interested in that, because they have the ability to turn on the state electricity. to become a 'temple ' power with skilled 'electric fishing' moves, difficult to detect. He recorded all the power-stealing tricks that the oven owners 'accidentally' revealed, from there the system turned into detailed lectures.

Having a curriculum on electricity, he asked to be "promoted to class" for rural electricity management officials organized by Hai Duong electricity. From the knowledge in Mr. Tien's lecture, managers began to care about the abnormal electricity loss in the localities. Many power management cooperatives have 'applied' a lecture to destroy power consumption tactics, reducing overall losses on the network by about 4% compared to before.

Meeting him again in the early days of the summer, he said that he was carrying out many other creative ideas, only 'not having the opportunity to reveal to the journalists because it has not been accepted' - Mr. Tien witfully said.
