Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Dear Friends :

I urge you to find a few minutes from your busy schedule to go through following exchange of emails between me and Qiu Jiang   - a researcher at KAUST ( King Abdullah University of Science and Technology – Saudi Arabia  )

As far as possibility of embedding RFID sensor in high denomination currency notes is concerned , earlier I had also exchanged mails with MIT researcher, Sanjay Sarma ( reproduced below )

Dear Qiu / Jr-Hau He,


I read about your research on this subject at :




Congratulations on a discovery of ( possibly ) , immense economic consequences


Here is what I have in mind :


Corruption is the biggest economic evil , which continues to fuel “ inequity “ among the rich and the poor


Corruption starts with tax evasion and subsequent use of Black Money generated – most of which , is in the form of high denomination currency notes , piling up in the cabinets and vaults of the tax-evaders


Currently , there is no technology to trace / track such piles of hidden high denomination currency notes , although there has been lots of “ talk “ on embedding such currency notes with RFID sensors , to enable tracking


Some months back , an officer of the Australian Government announced intention to do just that


I have , myself , been urging the Indian Government for over 2 years , to embed RFID in newly printed notes  of Rs 500 and Rs 2000


But , I understand , RFID need a source of power , in order to “ announce “ its location


And , so far , it has not been possible to embed a battery within the thin currency notes , which can power RFID


Is it possible that one of these days , your research can supply such power to embedded RFID  ?


I would highly appreciate your views on this



With Regards,

Subject: Re: TENG / Triboelectric Nanogeneratot

Dear Hemen:

The typical power consumption of RFID is ~10 µW, and Energy density of a microcapacitor can easily go 1 mWh/cm3, which means a microsupercapacitor with 1 cm3 volumn can power the RFID for 100 h. As you said, you want some thin devices, take 100 µm thickness for example, a microsupercapacitor with 1cm2 area and 100 µm thickness can power the RFID for 1h.

Also, you don't need to continuously power the RFID, thus it is practical to do so.




Regards
Qiu

Dear Qiu,

Many thanks for your very prompt – and clear – reply

India’s Rs 2,000 currency note is 110 micron thick

And 1 cm sq area for embedding microsupercapacitor , should not pose any problem

Extremely thin RFID sensors are also available – and getting as cheap as few cents a piece

But since the charge from microsupercapacitor can power that RFID for only 1 hour , it may not be of much use if that pile of currency notes is just lying in a cabinet / vault

Although, if that currency note is lying in a wallet / purse and handled , now and then ( in order to make “ cash payments “ ) , then I suppose it will build up the charge in microsupercapacitor and power the RFID

Am I correct ?


Warm Regards,

REPLY from  Qiu :



Re: TENG / Triboelectric Nanogeneratot


Correct, to continuously power the RFID over a long period, integrating solar cell or a triboelectric nanogenerator with the supercapacitor is a good option, and we are doing lots of research to optimize and stabilize the performance.

Dear Snjay :

On 25 March 2016 , you wrote to me :

Dear Mr. Parekh,

Yes, placing tags on money has certainly been considered in the past.

I think it is a matter of time before it happens.

I do agree with your idea.

Having said that, as more and more transactions become digital (credit cards, bitcoin, Adhaar card, etc.) the need for tracking cash goes down — ironically as our ability to track it increases.

Once again , Govt of India is planning to re-introduce , Rs 1000 / - currency note

I thought of checking up with you , whether technology ( of embedding RFID chips into currency notes ) has improved since you wrote and whether any country has made a beginning in this direction

I will appreciate your latest inputs
