77-year-old Indian man builds solar electric fan to protect himself from heat while working

A 77-year-old man named Lalluram built a small solar electric fan to protect himself from the sun and the heat in Lakhimpur Gehri district, India's Uttar Pradesh. Lalluram used to sell flower garlands on the streets before he had to take a long break due to his age and the intense heat. Working under the sun for many hours became too tiring for him. That's how he came up with the creative idea of building a portable helmet fan. "I suffered a lot without income. Now, this fan protects me. I bought the materials from my friends as I don’t have money to buy them from the shop", he said. The man's stylish fan has sparked curiosity. Many now look at him in amazement.
