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.

Maintain a balanced distance from everything and everyone !!

Maintaining a balanced distance from everything and everyone is the most needed resolution for successful life and relationship. Just like our planet Earth, which revolves around the sun continuously at a balanced distance. Earth is neither too close to the sun to be more hotter, nor it is too far from the sun so as to be more freezing.  Accordingly, Earth has the required temperature which is needed for water to stay in liquid form, so as to allow life in so many ways and forms to continue on this planet. Likewise, we humans too should maintain a balanced distance from each other, irrespective of our age or nature of the relationship. If someone tries to get too close to another person, then knowingly or unknowingly one can intrude into others privacy.  Similarly, going too far away from the other, may end the relationship as well.

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...

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...
