WAVE ENERGY... not a new idea, but seldom practiced globally !!

World has already seen, that there is a wide variety of wave energy conversion devices which can be used to harness the energy captured by a wave power generating system. Some of the existing wave energy devices are built on the shoreline, making the engineering and construction of such schemes much easier, eliminating the need for long underwater cables runs. However, the power density of waves is much less than is available some distance offshore. However, this can be partly compensated for by the concentration of the wave energy.
Offshore devices are situated in much deeper water, with typical depths of more than 30 meters. The wave power available at these deep ocean sites is about three to eight times the wave power available at shoreline sites with a range of completely submerged wave energy conversion devices available for offshore use. The type of wave energy conversion device used in a particular location, depends on the type of device and its distance from the shoreline.
Experiments have shown, that slowly but definitely, varying power generation from ocean waves is possible.
A method of evaluating renewable energy technologies in terms of economy and engineering solutions should be further explored, researched and investigated. The match between the technologies and the fundamental physics of renewable energy sources, can be given in terms of technology's utilization.

Flying Humans... It is already happening !!

Similar to some of my earlier posts in this blog, this idea too is already an existing one. However this concept too is yet to be exhaustively implemented and used in our human society. A jet pack, rocket belt, or rocket pack is a device worn on the back which uses jets of gas or liquid to propel the wearer through the air. The concept has been present in science fiction for almost a century and became widespread in the 1960s. Real jet packs have been developed using a variety of mechanisms, but their uses are much more limited than their fictional counterparts because of the challenges of Earth's atmosphere, gravity, low energy density of available fuels, and the human body not being suited to fly, and they are principally used for stunts. A practical use for the jet pack has been in extra-vehicular activities for astronauts. (Reference Link:  Jet Pack ) Of late, humans have made significant progress in their research on individual horizontal flights. The focus of Gru...

A Feasible Idea-Proposal for an Algorithmic Trading App supplemented with Deep Learning features.

Algorithmic Trading is a method of executing orders using automated pre-programmed trading instructions accounting for variables such as time, price, and volume to send small slices of the order (child orders) out to the market over time. This concept and practice of Algorithmic Trading has been evolving over the past few years, and is now a continuous evolution on its own. By now, there are a host of Algorithmic Trading Tools & Software in the global market. Even Algorithmic Trading Apps have started evolving, as expected. Few useful links are provided below. 9 great tools for Algorithmic Trading An Algorithmic Trading App from Trade Smart STREAK - An Algorithmic Trading App from Apple After navigating through the above links, one might still wonder on how many of these tools, software, and apps are actually equipped with Deep Learning features.  It is very much possible and obviously true that continuous research and development is in progress, in order to achi...

An Idea - The importance of INDEX for continuous tracking of organizational health.

The need of Index in every entity - For instant transparency on organization health !! This idea of INDEX is primarily segregated into two parts, firstly for all business/administrative organizations be it in private or non-private sector, and secondly for tracking the health of a particular practice or trade nationally. IDEA 1 –   Organization Progress Index   While I was in my previous organization, I proposed an idea to our then CEO, for an internal Organization Progress Index. It was primarily meant for transparent monitoring and tracking of the organizational health by considering all the critical parameters and dependencies that constitutes a global IT organization’s health. Our then CEO did reply to my email, stating that he will share the idea with his team for due consideration.  Continuing in the same frequency, I happen to have recently researched further through the net, and have come across a McKinsey solution for OHI – Organization ...
