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 :

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 "
