What is our duty as citizens in a healthy democracy? Surely, it cannot begin and end with voting, if we feel like it at all, every five years, right? Very strongly do i feel that we should share in every which way possible in the actual running of as many institutions as is possible that go in to the making of a healthy, happy city, state, nation, right?
Hence this blog. Hope it reaches the right address. May be, somebody would bring it to the notice of our D.C.M, Shri Phadnavisji and the Central Transport Minister, Shri Gadkariji.
Well, why am I not doing it myself? For one thing, the forwarded video does not have an https://youtu.be address. And, yes, i do not know how to get in touch with, 'tag' these worthies, especially because i am not on the Insta and the Twitter. I use the internet and the social media in a rather limited way, only the trio of the google, the WhatsApp and the YouTube. As for the FB, i may open it once a week, possibly!
If any one of you knows how to get in touch with the duo, i shall forward the video to your WhatsApp number so that you can do the needful. So what is this wonder video about? It is an absolutely authentic video by an Australian University, the University of Newcastle. It deals with a brilliant idea for the alternative energy source generation, the solar energy.
It is indeed unique because it revolutionises the making of the solar energy production panels. The traditional ones used so far are made of silicon conductors, hence are extremely heavy, and thus need special installation devices.
This technique by the Newcastle University uses, to begin with, the IoT. That is to say, the ultrathin panels can be mass printed the 3D way. The panels which use organic polymers that can capture solar energy and conduct electricity are ultrathin. A mere 0.075 mm is the thickness the panel enjoys. Obviously, hence, the panels are easy to mount. Moreover, they can be fixed with a special adhesive to any surface. The installation woes end thus. The panels are comparatively much, much, much cheaper. Yes, they are being tried usefully in Sydney.
Imagine how they can radically change our urban and the rural scene! Like rainwater harvesting, these panels can transform the very vista. Street lights to electric vehicles can thus be solar charged. Homes to institutions to offices would thus be lighted up. The irrigation motors in the rural areas would thus be better charged causing less distress to the farmers, and ending the typical land acquisition bother.
May be, Indian universities and start-up's/msme's can initially tie up with the Newcastle University. Later, they can process the technique further to suit our conditions. The possibilities are endless. If the political will and the citizen initiative thus collaborate, Mera Bharat can indeed be 'mahan' and 'atmnirbhar' the much needed alternative energy source way, right?
So, if you can help this message reach the right address, its proper destination, please do so URGENTLY. In the meanwhile, i have already requested the source as well as some media youtubers to reach the message/video at the right address. Hope our city/state/country soon gets "bijli" this cheap and alternative way!
Pratima@ A city/state/country can be what its citizens are!
