Congratulations you all! At least for securing all the research grants and fundings. Today without the word NANO or BIO you won't get any funding in any area. Pity but true.
Interestingly in Europe the situation is still better than US or India. Still there are fundings for other areas.
Nevertheless, Congratulation Prof. for all the good work and keep it up!

Ravi >> I fully agree with you. He is making sensational claims to get media attention. Poor Indian family in a village is happy if it gets 25 watt CFL running from & pm to say 11PM. ( 4 hours).
Today it is expensive to get is through Solar panel / Storage Batterry / Inverter (Poor people can no afford or maintain it)
By introducing Concept of NANOTUBES and increasing efficiency, he is going to make things more expensive.
In the past we heard enough about COLD FUSION, than heard enough enough about SUPER CONDUCTIVITY at ROOOM Temp. All these ideas came from Scientists working in Reputed US Laboratory. People got lot of Grants and nothing happenned.
This shows US also has a good number of RAMAR PILLAI'S.
This man is another Hoax. Even if he improves efficiency of the Thermoelectric junction, he can not promise Bare 15 watts from a stove. He has no idea about Millamperes generated in Thermoelectric Junnction giving Milliwatts NOT WATTS.
