Bhabesh Sarma, a resident of Garber
Supa, nearby Koithalkusi, Nalbari district, has built a ‘Planetary
Compass’ made out of bamboo. It took two years for Sarma to build this
compass. The main compass is made of bamboo and it has components of
rattan cane, wood and electronic parts also. This compass can be used to
study different activities of the solar system and the positions of
planets and satellites. According to Sarma, it is possible to detect
position of planet and satellites for hundred years, i.e. 1950 to 2050
with the help of this compass. Earlier to this Bhabesh Sarma has built
different unconventional products and a replica of historical Bilveswar
Devalaya and a robot from bamboo wood.
