Energy Harnessing

Today, we have come out with our proposal for the project in a writing and had a discussion with Mr. Prabhat pertaining to the idea. The idea was to design and construct the regenerative energy generator with a ferromagnetic device. Our original idea was to develop the system as a supplementary power supply to electric vehicles.

After a discussion with Prabhat, he has suggested us to broaden our project idea, so that the generator could be used on normal vehicle instead of just for EV application. He also suggested us to look at the project from a difference perspective, not only as a power generator, but also as a part of energy harnessing system. We also discussed the basic idea on how to construct the generator and how to carry out the test.

Generally, we are happy with the new concept and approach that we have gained from the discussion. Now, we need to do a little bit more of research about energy harnessing and redo out contract before signing off the contract. So far, the progress is going well as we planned. We hope that we could get the contract signed by next week.

I agree with what Prabhat had to say, in that broadening our project idea would make the concept more widely viable. Particularly, as at this time electric vehicles are few in numbers due to the void in a reliable electric battery source. The fact of the matter is, the internal combustion engine is still widely in use today, and so it is justifiable that we focus on improving today's technology first before turning our attention to the future. I feel that this is largely the case in New Zealand especially, as we are confined from the rest of the world. Because of this we tend to lag a bit in terms of technology in comparison to the other countries around the world.
