The concept of a free lunch may not exist, but what about a free ride? Imagine how amazing it would be if you didn’t have to buy any fuel to keep your automobile running. The idea might be a lot closer to reality if you rode in a neutrino-powered vehicle. Cars that do not have internal combustion engines are, at least in theory, better for the environment. However, in an ideal world, cars would run without any batteries at all. With the recent discovery that neutrinos possess mass that can be utilized for energy production, humankind has taken the first move toward truly emissions-free vehicles that do not even use toxic batteries.
In 2015, physicists Takaaki and McDonald separately found from opposite sides of the world that neutrinos have mass. Although it had long been hypothesized that these ethereal particles might have mass, until 2015, it was uncertain if neutrinos can be exploited for their energy. However, all that has mass also has energy. By piling up ultra-thin layers of graphene and silica and sticking them to a metallic substrate, a harmonic resonance can be derived from the mass of passing neutrinos. This kinetic energy can subsequently be converted into electrical energy, which implies that the electronic devices can now be powered with passing neutrinos.
The Car Pi can accomplish this through neutrinovoltaic cells. In terms of efficiency and dependability, neutrinovoltaic does not have the same shortcomings as typical photovoltaic technology. Neutrinos, for example, may travel through practically any known material, implying that neutrinovoltaic cells do not require sunlight to function. They may be utilized indoors, outdoors, and even underwater. Because of the simplicity with which neutrinovoltaic cells may be shielded while generating electricity, this technology is not harmed by snow or other inclement weather. Since neutrinovoltaic cells do not depend on visible light, they may continue to create energy even when the number of daylight hours is substantially decreased.
While the majority of electric car users still take the electricity from the socket, anything powered by Neutrino Energy Group’s technology simply harvests its power from the environment. Until now, no one has been interested in this kind of energy since the internal combustion engine was not intended for it, but for the Car Pi, the ambient energy is like a constant fuel pump, an unlimited cosmic ray surge from the sun, light, neutrinos, and other invisible radiation.
Holger Thorsten Schubert, Mathematician, CEO and President of Neutrino Energy Group, along with Professor Dr Rajendrakumar Sharma, CMD of SPEL Technologies, briefed about the project during a press conference at C-MET Pune. Neutrino Energy Group has entered into an understanding with C-MET Pune — a premier government lab under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeiTY) — for the research and development of critical material such as essential components for the new neutrinovoltaic power cubes. C-MET is known for its expertise in Advanced Material Sciences and is led by Director General Dr Bharat Kale. It has also reached an investment understanding with SPEL Technologies Private Limited for providing necessary support for manufacturing desired energy storage devices for integration with neutrino voltaic power cubes for Pi-car and other applications. To accelerate the development of Pi-car in India, Surya Sharma, director of operations of Neutrino (India), aims to leverage the expertise of these synergy for Atmanirbhar Bharat mission.
The Pi-car project has also got the support of Padma Bhushan Dr Vijay Bhatkar, chancellor of Nalanda University, who is also a part of the scientific advisory board of Neutrino Energy Group. Dr Bhatkar is popularly referred as the ‘Father of supercomputers in India’. Dr Bhatkar’s expertise and guidance will be a valuable asset for the development of Pi-car, and India’s vision and commitment to reduce carbon footprints. The project represents a significant step forward in the development of clean and sustainable energy sources. It will reduce the dependence on fossil fuels and decrease carbon emissions, while creating employment and support growth of the Indian economy. The Neutrino Energy Group has committed to bring the Pi-car to the market within the next three years.
The Neutrino Energy Group adopted the moniker “Car Pi” because to the infinite nature of the value of pi. As the digits of this value continue indefinitely, so will the innovative energy technology incorporated in the Car Pi propel this unparalleled automobile innovation indefinitely. This remarkable vehicle generates its own energy by utilizing neutrinos and other non-visible radiation, making it the world’s first automobile that does not require recharging at a standard charging station, instead pulling what it requires to circulate eternally, whether driving or simply sitting motionless. Depending on the circumstances, 1 hour of simply parking the car outside may provide up to 100 kilometres of range. The Car Pi obtains a fuel source for its operation from an infinitely available, ecological, and sustainable element, Because of the utilization of unique nanomaterials, such as doped graphene mixed with Kevlar and carbon fiber to produce unique cells that capture the passage of neutrinos and other forms of non-visible radiation, inciting a subatomic oscillation, and therefore contribute to the transition away from the use of fossil fuels and toward clean and consistent energy sources.
Thanks to neutrinovoltaic technology, Car Pi is the first car in the world that is both completely environmentally friendly and self-sufficient. The world will once again see one of the biggest breakthroughs in automobile technology. The father of the Pi-Car – Holger Thorsten Schubart, the visionary Mastermind behind the Neutrino Energy Group, will not do it alone. To make the Car Pi a reality, Schubart is working with a global alliance of scientists and engineers from the US, India, and numerous other nations that share his vision. There is no reason for the automotive industry to fall behind simply because our current technologies are insufficient. Innovation will always illuminate our way forward. It is only a matter of time before major automakers follow the Neutrino Energy Group’s lead.
