Keep up the excellent work Prof.Mazumdar. A lot of poor people who cannot afford any electricity will be benefitted from these types of inventions.
However, about 15 years ago I read one Russian proposal to create a gigantic solar power generator in space and transmit electricity from there, which can satisfy all electricity needs of the whole world.
Solar energy for a hot country like India is extremely useful. If India government gives up all tax revenues from taxing the imports of crude petroleum for the development of solar energy, much of India's needs can be satisfied.
However, the main attaraction of Prof.Mazumdar's invention is that it will free people from the State/Private Electricity Boards,just like the mobile phone has freed people from the whims of the Indian telephone company.
Nano technology has tremendous possibility, India should explore it as well.
