INDIA'S TOP SECRET MILITARY WEAPONS

1. KALI : India's electron-accelerated pulse-power gigahertz microwave beam weapon : The KALI (Kilo Ampere Linear Injector) is a linear electron accelerator being developed in India by the Defence Research Development Organization (DRDO) and the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC). KALI The Kali is a particle accelerator. It emits powerful pulses of electrons (Relativistic Electron Beams- REB). Other components in the machine down the line convert the electron energy into EM Radiation, which can be adjusted to x-ray (as Flash X-Rays) or microwave (High Power Microwave) frequencies. This has fueled hopes that the KALI could, one day be used in a High-Power Microwave gun, which could destroy incoming missiles and aircraft through soft-kill (destroying the electronic circuitry on the missile). However, weaponising such a system has many obstacles to overcome. KALI. 2. E-bomb by DRDO: The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is developing an E-bomb which will emit elec...

GOOGEL'S LESS KNOWN SECRET PROJECT

Wing - an autonomous delivery drone service aiming to increase access to goods, reduce traffic congestion in cities, and help ease the CO2 emissions attributable to the transportation of goods. WING Loon - a radical approach to expanding Internet connectivity. Instead of trying to extend the Internet from the ground, Loon takes to the sky via a network of balloons, traveling along the edge of space, to expand Internet connectivity to rural areas. LOON Verily - using technological advances like machine learning, the miniaturization of sensors, and wearable devices were likely to lead to innovations that could someday help health professionals be more proactive in their treatment of disease. VERILY Malta - a grid-scale energy storage technology that stores electricity from renewable energy sources as heat inside large tanks of high temperature molten salt and as cold in large tanks of chilled liquid. MALTA Makani - prototyping and testing energy kites that can generate electricity b...

Innovation in lockdown

Automatic mask machines To fight the shortage of N-95 masks in India and to eliminate the import of special automatic machines and their parts from China, engineers from NIT & IIM Calicut, and a start-up firm from Bengaluru are now manufacturing these machines. “'The cost is expected to be 40% cheaper too. We are preparing machines to manufacture surgical masks and by June the ones capable of producing N-95 masks too will be ready,” said Varun Anil Kumar, co-founder of Sixth Element Furnishing Solutions Pvt Ltd. Jeeva Setu ventilators Innovators at REVA University in Bengaluru have invented an oven-sized, low-cost and portable ventilator. The chancellor of REVA University launched ‘Jeeva Setu’ ventilators with the resident staff to aid the medical infrastructure of the country. “It is expected to deliver 500-600 ml of air per breath and 15-18 breaths per minute, as specified for Covid-19 patients,” said Dr P Shyama Raju, Chancellor of REVA University. Not just ventilators, REVA...
