RE:Another Ramar Pillai in the making......
by Nitin Karwa (in Germany) on Apr 11, 2008 12:48 PM

Kapil and Yogi, I wonder why you want paint in same color all the time. Firstly, Prof. Majumdar is one of the most respected scientist in the world. So dont compare him with Pillai. Secondly, he is not talking of PV cells (they require light and not heat to operate). He is talking about devices working on thermoelectric effect. The science is known for years, but the economics is not there due to the power density of these devices. With the upcoming nano-fabrication technology, it will be possible to increase the energy density of these devices and thus making them viable. And finally, yes Indian like you do not have the scientific temperament...thats why no one believes Indians. People like you would opt for jobs in crappy IT domain, and think that you are some kind of intellectual. I assure you that all the IT that you do, is what the US people look down upon and do not want to do that work. So, grow up!
