The Neutrino Energy Group has declared a 2.5 billion euro investment for the opening of its groundbreaking self-charging electrical Pi-car project.
The Pi-car will be powered by Neutrino’s patented neutrino voltaic technology, which harvests energy from the external environment, neutrinos, and subatomic particles abundant in the universe, as well as other invisible radiation. This ground-breaking neutrino voltaic technology will also be used in a variety of other cutting-edge applications.
During a press conference at C-MET Pune, Holger Thorsten Schubert, Mathematician, CEO, and President of Neutrino Energy Group, and Professor Dr. Rajendrakumar Sharma, CMD of SPEL Technologies, provided an update on the project.
Neutrino Energy Group has reached an agreement with C-MET Pune, a premier government lab under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeiTY), to conduct research and development of critical materials, such as essential components for the new neutrino voltaic power cubes. C-MET is known for its expertise in Advanced Material Sciences and is led by Dr. Bharat Kale, Director General. It has also entered into an investment agreement with SPEL Technologies Private Limited to provide the necessary support for the manufacture of desired energy storage devices for integration with neutrino voltaic power cubes for Pi-car and other applications. Surya Sharma, director of operations at Neutrino (India), hopes to leverage the expertise of these synergies for the Atmanirbhar Bharat mission to accelerate the development of Pi-car in India.
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 to 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 reducing carbon footprints.
