An inventor living in India, I have six U.S. patents (Nos. 6,717,300; 7,017,696; 7,170,047; 7,284,628; 7,474,020 and 7,541,563) on the use of induction motor as a sensor, a Personal Mobility Vehicle (PMV), a contact-less non-optical computer mouse and a robotic platform, an electromagnetically controlled valve-less internal combustion engine and a revolutionary electromagnetically operated gas gun with unrifled bore. Additionally, I have five more pending U.S. patent applications related to wearable Personal Mobility Devices (PMDs), Blade Vortex Interference(BVI)-noise reduction techniques, a gyro-projectile device, a high-torque electric motor and Elctro-Magnetic Launch (EML). One of my BVI-noise reduction technologies corrects some doubtful findings by Dr. John Gordon Leishman, et al. in U.S. Patent No. 6,948,906 and presents novel ways to reduce helicopter blade noise; this patent application is under examination with the examiner having communicated allowable matter. Further, I have four Indian pending patent applications for similar inventions out of which two are under examination. I was working on increasing the efficiency of small induction motors together with some theoretical work on new linear motor technologies. With a tight budget and very stifling civic regulations for prototype building in my city Delhi, this was about the only technology development I could have undertaken during the last three years. My recent work lead to devising an altogether new motor technology, 'conduction motor'. My ninth U.S. patent application has been issued and it is the sixth patent that was granted on June 2, 2009; it is for a novel gas gun as already described and is called a gyro-projectile device which has many defense applications, more details of the device would be released soon.
My first patented invention helps in monitoring the electrical and mechanical characteristics of an induction motor after mains supply turn off. This invention helps in monitoring the states of all the induction motors in an installation just after an accident. The places where mechanical damage takes place are identified by locating the induction motors which do not emit a signal just after the outage. My PMV has a greater versatility on roads than Dean Kamen's Segway, as it also provides protection against weather. P.U.M.A. has recently attempted a very closely resembling vehicle which just stops short of infringing my patent claims. The PMV that I patented in 2006, can offer a good solution to short distance transportation on congested streets in India, China and Indochina. Especially, in Delhi, it can be used as a personal transport to and from Delhi Metro. This PMV is a zero-turning radius vehicle with a very small footprint. An addition to my first-patented PMV, there is a robotic platform (my fourth patent) which can also be made into a tactical multi-use vehicle.
I was also a visiting scientist in 2007 to the Office of Naval Research Global (ONRG) to present my theoretical research work on Electromagnetic Launch and Propulsion. Although, my work was appreciated, it did not receive development funding; and looking at its scale, it cannot be developed without adequate funding. and governmental approvals; two related Indian patent applications had been filed in August 2007; similar U.S. patent applications have also been filed in 2008. One of these applications discloses a revolutionary new technology for constructing very compact electric motors which can deliver very high torques without saturation. These new motors will be ideal for electrical vehicles and UAVs, due to their light weight, small size and exceptional power delivery. Although, I am struggling for now, still, I am exclusively supported by my family and my family resources in my patenting and research efforts. However, there are plans to begin a technology start up to develop, promote and batch produce some of my patented and recent inventions. I have also started working on solving the problems of explaining gravitation; for the last two years, I have been actively engaged in trying to break the theoretical riddle of matching quantum mechanics to gravitation. I would not call it the Grand Unification Theory, at all; yet, it may prove to be interesting to many and troublesome for the rest.
