Pabal experiences approximately
eight hours of power cuts
per day. It is not known
when there will be a steady
and reliable power supply
to the village. The lack
of electricity inhibits
the use of computers in
the village, and even the
thirteen computers in the
local junior college computer
lab sit idle for much of
the day. Batteries are used
in the lab, but only to
prevent work from being
lost; a battery can support
a computer system for a
mere 20 minutes after the
power has been cut. One
solution to this problem
is a way of storing more
charge than these batteries,
but in conjunction a computer
system that runs on minimal
power and yet still performs
the basic requirements of
the people is needed. Such
a computer system will be
able to run on battery power
for a significant amount
of time.
