Not so Futuristic ?
To people who read my suggestion on how to save the lives of 15,000
persons who die every year, by being run over by trains while crossing railway tracks , it might have sounded , a bit
too " Futuristic "
It is not easy to think of a " Low Voltage EMP ( Electro-Magnetic Pulse )
"
But it seems , scientists of the World are saying , " If
you can think of some phenomenon , it might be possible "
Example
:
Hindustan
Times ( 12 Sept 2016 ) carries
following snippet on its " Page One Plus ( News You Can Use ) " :
:
NEW MATERIAL CAN BLOCK MOBILE
PHONE RADIATION
:
" Scientists have developed a new material that can
effectively block electro-magnetic waves emitting from
Mobile Phones , TVs and other appliances
Researchers manufactured the material made out of MXene "
I firmly believe that the Indian Scientists are quite capable of
alloying another derivative of MXene
with the steel used to fabricate railway tracks , to permanently " block the electro-magnetic waves emitted from the
mobile phones "
All that is needed is for Shri Suresh
Prabhu ( Railway Minister ) to forward my following blog to the
Material Science Lab of our Steel Plants
And
should you want to contribute , do forward this suggestion to :
Suggestion
sent through " Contact Me " on his web site , is immediately

That was the
name of a Conference held in Mumbai , on 03 Sept 2016
Railway
Minister , Shri Suresh Prabhu , wants businesses and Agencies ( both , national
and international ) , to invest billions of dollars in modernizing the Indian
Railways
These
" modernizations " include :
#
High speed Trains
#
Rolling Stock
#
Railway Station Development
#
Signaling and Structural Development....etc
How about
making this an " Opportunity to save 15,000
lives " ? ( Number of persons
getting run-over by trains each year in India )
On the
tracks of Mumbai local trains alone , some 3,000 + persons get run
over each year , while crossing
Just the
day before the Conference , as many as 18 persons got run over in a single day !
Provision
of overhead bridges has not helped . Temptation to catch a train is too much
when time is short !
Perhaps
sub-conscious thinking of people who cross the track , goes :
" Of
the 100,000 persons
who cross the tracks daily, only 10 die. My probability of getting hit is only 1 in 10,000 !
"
But what
if that probability was 1 in 1 ( 100 % certainty ) ?
Like a 11KV current flowing in the tracks ? You
dare to cross , you die ! No one will dare !
No ,
please don't get me wrong ! I am NOT suggesting anything sinister like that ! ( anything
like replacing those pellet guns in Kashmir with AK 47 assault rifles )
What I am
suggesting is a " Digital Death " for the trespassers !
For today's
generation , as real as " Physical
Death " - or worse !
Mobile phone (
smart phone or feature phone ) of the person crossing , to get " fried / killed " , electronically !
By an
innovative application of a " Controlled EMP ( Electro-Magnetic Pulse ) " , surging through the tracks , once every
second - low voltage but strong
enough to kill the onboard solid
state circuitry of the mobile phone
This low
voltage magnetic wave , will neither harm the human carrying the phone in his
pocket , nor kill the phones of those travelling in the train , due to " Skin Effect "
Even
though, a " Low Voltage EMP " , is an oxymoron , I am sure Indian Scientists are quite capable to resolve this apparent paradox , if challenged
Shri
Prabhu-ji :
In your
Rail Budget speech, you had said :
" A single accident or
loss of a single life causes me great sorrow and anguish. It also demonstrates
that we still have a long way to go in realizing our objective of a zero accident regime. Although our safety
record is better at 20% lower accidents compared to the previous year, there is
much more that is required to be done. I truly believe that the way forward to
eliminate accidents from IR is through adoption
and assimilation of latest technology. "
Instead of
, always trying to " adopt and assimilate " technologies developed abroad , please
consider " Evolving " of a technology locally for your goal of " Zero Accident Regime "
