 I happened to join a nominal college and there I understood that my fate is sealed, now I will not be like the best IATNs or IATs in the world. Moreover, I joined in bioengineering and the first day the seniors told me that you guys have no job after four years, some IT company might take you, that's your fate. So essentially I understood that my, this is a dead end, so I have to do something different and there I started experimenting with science and technology. Instead of thinking about future, I thought let's do something in the present and that's how my journey towards projects starts. I started doing projects in robotics to drug delivery and biodiesel and all and like that once I happened to enter into a conference hall like this very cool there was a professor from Harvard who was speaking about these exceptional materials called as carbon nanotubes and he said these materials are like 300 times stronger than steel at just one-sixth of its weight, electrical conductivity as high as copper, thermal conductivity as good as diamond. So I thought yes this is my material I'm gonna get this and do something big out of it and I thought I'll make a biosensor out of it. Carbon nanotube essentially looks like this but not this big it's like one billionth of a meter that's small it is. I just googled out the price and it was like per gram costed around four hundred dollars the quality that I wanted per gram. So I just called up my dad first and said dad can you just send me some ten thousand dollars I just want to buy few hundred grams of carbon nanotubes and he said in a very nice manner try something else. So and then I went to my professor I asked her can I synthesize this in the lab. She said you are you are just an undergrad you know you should do something else very small projects and all. Then I was not gonna stop so I thought there should be some method I said just googled out again to find out how it is produced. I understood one thing you require a big furnace you requires high temperature like six hundred thousand two hundred degrees Celsius and all you need to have carbon-containing gases and then you need to have this catalyst. So I know this every furnace in the world has got its high temperature this carbon containing gases in a vacuum atmosphere so all I needed was a catalyst and a substrate to coat over that. So my next target was to get the catalyst. My guy told me that okay I'll give you some chemicals but you cannot work after five p.m. so I need to take that chemicals I took it to my hostel I started preparing it in my room itself and then we need to have a substrate. So the substrate was like typically platinum alumina kind of things which is again non-affordable for me so there was some construction workers they had this cement and sand so we just went to them explain the project they understood nothing they said I'll give you whatever you want you just go from here and they gave us some cement and we started experimenting with our own substrate we made our cement sand substrate in the backyard of the hostel luckily at 9 30 12 10 o'clock no one saw us it was safe so after all this preparation the next target was to get some kind of industry to test there was a small rice mill nearby my university so we went there so I sent my team first they said they went and gave the big lecture and they said they will reduce your pollution we will do that and this they said we just pay thousand rupees per year for pollution how does that matter us so next day I went to them I said the same things but I said you know you you are gonna be the next billionaire if this technology works out he understood what money is and he said yeah you can work we will help you and that's that's how we started you can see my friend holding the substrate in a traditional manner we just expose it in the path of new gas and we get carbon nanotubes over it they're as simple as that people usually think that carbon nanotubes might look something like a big tube or something like this but not exactly it's like a black powder but it has various applications you have to see it under transmission electron microscope or scanning electron microscope to exactly see such kind of tubes that's how it exactly looks like under these microscopes we convert the carbon emissions from the industries into a valuable product you know value similar to that of gold into carbon nanotubes which has got many applications like Obeashi cooperation along with NASA is building a space elevator and it's entirely made of carbon nanotubes carbon nanotubes are also used as biosensors to detect cancer even to cure cancers in certain cases nano robots are possible with carbon nanotube flexible devices composites so the applicants are endless so we thought okay now we have to scale it up to do something you know big we went to an industry we said we'll fix an equipment which will continuously convert your emissions into carbon nanotubes that's how it will exactly work like we'll have a catalyst which will be sprayed continuously in the furnace which will interact with the gases are collected by the electromagnetic upside and this will continue and reduce their emission in large scale and they're were producing a very valuable product like carbon nanotubes we first try this technology in the rice mill where the temperature was approximately 200 and less than that so I we thought why not in automobiles assume every automobile in the world has this kind of equipment which will be fixed at the back of it and will continuously convert their emission into nanotubes you go to a petrol pump you fix this equipment they will replace it for you and they provide 50% discount in the fuel charges how great it will be like you know you're reducing the fuel charges and producing something very useful out of it that's that's what our aim is further finally if you think this technology of carbon nanotubes and carbon emissions are very much correlated this can only have a huge environmental impact if it is applied on a large scale or else it will be a local impact not a global impact so we want this technology to spread in everywhere every industry should use this technology at least out of greed of making money so that you know it will make some good impact on the environment and also produce a very important product like carbon nanotube which will have large scale of applications providing their reporting many employment opportunities around the world so that's my thank you
