No takers for indigenous gravity-based rapid transport system

The gravity-based technology that could power transport systems was patented a year ago. However, corporate and government involvement to develop the prototype is still not forthcoming

Rajaram Bojji’s breakthrough in gravity can help India and the world save a huge quantity of energy consumed for transportation services. To get this patented gravity technology, all that Mr Bojji is waiting for is a corporate or governmental nod to take the first step forward and a small amount of Rs 25 crore to develop the prototype.

Mr Bojii holds several patents and is the former managing director of Konkan Railway. This gravity-based technology involves conversion of potential or stored energy like gravity into kinetic or moving energy to facilitate transportation. As per one of Mr Bojji’s presentations, using this approach, transportation is possible at a speed of 210 km per hour through rail from city to city. Gravity can transport cargo from any point to any other point at 60 metres per hour.

Mr Bojji holds the patent for this unique gravity-based technology to be used for rail, road and aircraft landing. However, he is keen to introduce this on the Indian Railways. He believes the implications of this technology on the rail system would be tremendous. It can help save more than 50% of the energy consumed in transportation, keeping all factors in mind.

“It is mindboggling to think that you can run the entire railway without any locomotive. The traffic and goods will be moving by itself. However, you will find a number of gravity power towers, at distances of around half a kilometre each,” said Mr Bojji.

In order to introduce the new technology on the rail system, the locomotives or traction motors need to be replaced with a set of flywheel storage, battery pack and electromagnetic couplers, all driven by Gravity Power Towers (GPTs).

However, this can be possible only when the first step of developing a prototype is taken. Mr Bojji had filed for the international patent for this gravity-based technology in July last year. Since then, he has been trying his best to get India Inc and the Indian government interested in the project.

“My project needs cooperation both from the corporate world and the government. Both alone by themselves cannot help make the project happen,” he added.

While Mr Bojji has written to Congress head Sonia Gandhi, through email, he has also been writing to various corporate firms.

“There is a certain sense of reluctance or fear to try anything new that involves risks. People are very comfortable with tried and approved foreign technologies. The corporate world is still not ready to take technological risks. It is however technology that helps with better returns. What I believe is that they are unable of assessing technology risks; they are capable of assessing financial risks,” said Mr Bojji on the reluctance of various corporate firms to adopt this new technology.

Mr Bojji feels if the Indian government takes the initial steps through a pilot project for testing the technology, corporate firms may also start showing interest.

He has posted his knowledge on using gravity to power transport all over the Internet. “I have done this, so that this attracts attention from someone and that someone’s greed drives the project forward,” he added.

Mr Bojji is confident that he will be able to complete the pilot project within a span of 18 months.

Just another day of Brahma we collide with another galaxy !!

  Just in another day of Brahma our Galaxy collides with Andromeda : Earth continues but sky views change and Sun orbit affected !!  Image From Atlantic : reproduced .  In Hindu philosophy, a **Brahma day** (also known as a **Kalpa**) is a vast cosmic period that represents one full day in the life of Brahma, the creator god. This period is equivalent to **4.32 billion years** in human terms⁴. A Brahma day consists of **1,000 Mahayugas** (great ages), and each Mahayuga is made up of four Yugas (ages): Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dvapara Yuga, and Kali Yuga². After the completion of a Brahma day, there is an equally long Brahma night, during which the universe undergoes dissolution before the cycle of creation begins anew². This concept highlights the immense scale of time in Hindu cosmology and reflects the cycles of creation and dissolution that are central to the universe's rhythm. Is there a specific aspect of this concept you're curious about? Source: Conversat...

Are we experiencing life in a world already extinct millions of years ago?

Image
It’s not rare that my mind feels we are actually living in a world that might have been extinct millions of years ago!     As per Vishnu Sahasra Namam, part of Mahabharata authored by Sri Vedavyasa, Brahma praises his own father Sri Vishnu as Sahasra Yuga Dharane namaha . That if we take as life time for Brahama from his own birth before start of creation and own liberation annihilating the entire creation to join that realm which has no cycles of birth and death. —-ever present abode of Sri Narayana as per Brahmasutra and described in Sri Bhagavad Gita too. That is 1000x10^7x4.32 m or 4.32x 10^16 solar years.        The time scale of Sri Vishnu who is said to create and maintain this universe merely by a wish within less than a second of His time . This translates as the equivalent to 10^16 solar years is my submission. This is  followed by equal time period of yoga Nidra or entire universe transformed back in to suspended particles. So the process of...

For dummies like me, understanding Hilbert space and play of energy beams around my Atma ! : Using my Buddy Co-Pilot

Image
For dummies what is the Hilbert space and how does it help us? Hilbert space is a concept from mathematics and quantum mechanics that may sound complex, but let's break it down in a simple way: **Hilbert Space Basics:** - **Definition**: Think of it as an infinite-dimensional space, much like how we think of 3-dimensional space, but with potentially endless dimensions. - **Vectors**: In this space, you have vectors (like arrows) that can represent different states or points. - **Inner Product**: It has a special way to measure angles and distances between these vectors, called the inner product. This helps in defining concepts like orthogonality (perpendicularity) and length. **How it Helps Us:** - **Quantum Mechanics**: Hilbert spaces are fundamental in quantum mechanics. They provide the framework for describing quantum states and their evolution. - **Wave Functions**: Quantum states are represented as wave functions, which are essentially vectors in a Hilbert space. This helps i...
