ElectroMagnetic Engine

"A small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind"
Those were the words I remembered when my lone attempt to publicize my dream-project fetched me the maximum result. Being an eco-freak, my quest for developing an alternate energy powered vehicle dates back to last millennium. I was in 4th grade when I designed a logo for my company named GPSN ( Ganga-Pavanesh-Sharada-Narayanan). I don't remember where the word "Ganga" came from, but I considered (still consider) Ganga as the sacred river and lifeline for many people. And the other 3 names - mine, my mom`s and my dad`s. But I didn`t stop with the company thing. My first decent idea: a compressed air powered car, got designed soon.
I still remember the day. I was in 7th grade and it was the chemistry hour. A sudden spark ignited my mind, giving birth to my first creation. I was so happy that I wanted to run about shouting "eureka eureka...." :-) I made a large diagram of my creation so that I can show it to the friends and relatives who came to my house. But my hopes of developing it died out when one of my cousins told that it would be too under powered to be used in a car. But do you want to know how feasible my idea was? Last year I was surprised and shocked to see in the pages of The Hindu : CAT or compressed air technology to power the future cars ( being co-developed by TATA motors ). I felt like shouting "Oh my god"! I told the news to everyone around me but their reactions.......... they were like.... listening to some kind of ordinary news and they went back to their work as if nothing significant happened. (either their interest on the subject was too shallow or probably I expected a bit too much).
Anyway, two or three years later I again struck gold. This time a method more organized and with better design ( by the time I had some idea about how engines work). That was the birth of EMBE(electromagnetic-buoyant engine) utilizing electromagnets and buyant forces to power the engine.
The idea remained dormant, except for some drawings of car model featuring GPSN-EMBE tag on it ( later changed to banc-EMBE, banc for Baarath Automobile Nirman Company, name changed because I somehow started disliking the old one), until Mr Mofi suddenly called me and invited me for a paper presentation. I was initially vague about such presentation; but his persuasion and encouragement to present a paper helped me to get over the "inertia"(many other friends have invited me earlier for doing papers but they couldn`t succeed making me to get over my inertia). The idea, locked in archives for the past 5 years or so, was given a new lease of life. With more knowledge, I changed EMBE to EME.
I discussed about my idea with one of my lecturers, who immediately gave a positive response. But there was one big hurdle. My design meant magnetizing and demagnetizing the core a lot of times per second. But another flash of idea struck me. This time in the micro controller class( I was so charged up that couldn`t stop myself telling it to my friend sitting nearby-the same old eureka feeling- and I was sent out for talking in the class!!!)
Finally we presented it and ours was selected as the best paper!!
