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.

Need of a global UNIQUE ONLINE IDENTIFICATION of a human - An indigenous embryonic IDEA !!

Just like we have a PAN or Aadhaar Number of an individual in India, which is indeed unique to any individual, or in other words the Social Security Number (SSN) of an individual in the US, similarly I suggest and propose to have an UOI -  UNIQUE ONLINE IDENTIFICATION  of any individual irrespective of age, who has an online presence over the global internet. Through this UOI , one can and must integrate all the public email addresses one holds against ones name. This should be mandated across the globe in all nations wherever internet can be accessed. A global enforcement body should be formed to monitor the implementation of this UOI mandate across the various countries around the globe.

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 ...

FLOOD PREVENTION - Automatic Emergency Water Gates Along The Riversides - A probable option ??

Flood due to raging rivers from excessive rainfall is a very common scenario across the globe, because engineering and technology is yet to invent anything till date, to control the weather's wrath. If we can construct huge underground car parking areas, then humans can also construct underground concrete water reservoirs, because that day is not far off, when humans has to accept and realize that preservation of rain-water and river-water, will be much more important than owning fleets of expensive cars. Whenever there is an excessive rainfall in any geographical region with rivers and its tributaries, the river gradually starts flowing above the threshold/danger mark.  I hereby propose to construct automatic emergency water gates along the riversides, at a little lower level as per the danger mark scale. And these automated gates will lead the excess river-water, to the underground concrete water reservoirs (proposed above) through an underground piping system (slanted in a...
