Researcher Unveils Simplest Method for Measuring Bio-Electricity in Rudraksha

April 28, 2025

Not every research has to look complicated, sometimes they are quite ordinary & understandable by common man.

April 28, 2025 – Mumbai, India — In a creative development that could add-up to the research areas ranging from agriculture, ayurvedic science, spirituality to the renewable energy, an independent researcher from Palghar, Maharashtra has discovered a novel technique of measuring bio-electricity in Rudraksha (scientific name: Elaeocarpus ganitrus) with decent accuracy and sensitivity.

Punit M. Kansara, a researcher & founder of therudrakshatree.org, shared his findings in the International Journal For Multidisciplinary Research (IJFMR), with a paper titled “Elaeocarpus Ganitrus Bead & Bio Electricity”. This new method utilizes the simplest approach & ordinary device capable of detecting subtle electrical signals within a bead of Elaeocarpus ganitrus in real time, offering a direct alternative to traditional impedance spectroscopy (IS) techniques used for analysing the electrical properties of materials and electrochemical systems by measuring the resistance and capacitance of a material as a function of frequency.

“Bio-electricity plays a critical role in everything right from a brain activity, muscle movement to healing wounds and cellular level of communication and since many centuries, rudraksha has been seen as a healing agent & spiritual transformation tool” Punit Kansara said. “Until now, our setup for measuring these signals in rudraksha have been highly complex, & practicality not in reach of a common man. This method opens new avenues for understanding if at all, a rudraksha bead contains any bio-electricity? If yes, how much electrically charged a particular bead of rudraksha is, that too can be gauged with a most ordinary instrument, or to simply say, if a bead of rudraksha is dead or alive.”

This experiment uses an electronic device called digital multi-meter which generally an electronic shop keeper uses for measuring diodes, transistors, capacitors etc. This study has been conducted on more than 100 samples of Nepal origin Rudraksha which includes different Mukhi of beads such as 5 Faces, 11 Faces, a Doublet – popularly known as Gaurishankar bead along with few broken bead compartments with seeds and without seeds in them.

This study has directly uncovered some interesting answers to the questions, such as how to check if a rudraksha bead is dead or alive? Which part of rudraksha is an energy storehouse? What is a right method of measuring a rudraksha bead with the help of a multi-meter?

Each of these questions are carefully answered in this published research paper, you can download it for free since it is published in an open access journal, kindly follow the mentioned steps and try measuring the bio-electricity of your rudraksha.

Kansara is currently working on the next part of this research to uncover some other interesting characteristics of this mystical bead.

At “The Rudraksha Tree”, he makes powerful rudraksha combination mala such as Siddha mala. Being a meditator himself and as a social cause he teaches meditation to the under-privileged children at the Government schools in the rural interiors of Palghar – Maharashtra, so that a light of consciousness can spread further.

Electric Car Tokenization Platform Fuelev Aims to Be the World’s Largest Community Owned Electric Vehicle Fleet

January 29, 2025

FuelEV operates on the Internet Computer Protocol, tapping into its superior canister technology to allow investors across the world to invest into city fleet networks and earn powerful returns.

A new electric car tokenization platform aims to build the world’s largest community owned electric vehicle fleet, by tapping into the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP).

Speaking to DroomDroom on the eve of the platform’s launch, FuelEV’s co-founders Kshitij Bhatawdekar (known as KB) and Javier Arroyo Ferrer said the project has been in development since July 2023. The team has built a car tokenization platform on the ICP, and a car rental booking platform that allows users to rent a vehicle for a multi-day duration. KB said –

“Ever since I came across RWA tokenization, we knew vehicles were the perfect asset to work with. Not as expensive as real estate, not as small a ticket as physical goods.”

The FuelEV team highlighted the growth in the market capitalization of RWA tokenization since their inception in July 2023. The market cap now exceeds $186 billion, with widespread adoption already on its way. For example, the California Department of Motor Vehicles has tokenized 42 million vehicles to date on the blockchain.

FuelEV’s platform features a collection of vehicles that users can pick to invest into. Typically, they will be divided by city networks that users might want to capitalize on. For example, their first launch city i.e. Mumbai is one of the world’s fastest growing car rental markets. Interested investors can invest into the city network of Mumbai, and those funds raised will be used to acquire vehicles. These would generate revenue through multiple modes- anywhere from car rentals to ridesharing networks like Uber.

Users will be required to use ICP’s native Internet Identity to use the FuelEV tokenization platform. This allows users to log into the platform using conventional Web2 user experiences, while maintaining noncustodial control of their wallets and assets.

ICP is a “Fantastic RWA-friendly Chain”

Building on ICP also allows FuelEV to claim transaction finality times below two seconds, as well as zero gas or network fees. Its architecture provides optimized storage costs, averaging around $5 per gigabyte of data stored annually.

KB added that most of FuelEV’s team has been building on the ICP since genesis, and now has extensive experience building smart contract wallets, marketplaces, booking platforms and tokenization platforms.

Built on the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), both platforms leverage cutting-edge technologies such as Rust for backend development and Leptos for frontend implementation. While Rust guarantees safety and high performance, Leptos allows building dynamic, declarative UIs that enhance performance for interactive web applications. Javier said –

“ICP is a fantastic RWA-friendly chain right now because it has wonderful technology at the protocol layer.”

FuelEV’s Users and Target Market

DroomDroom also inquired whether FuelEV’s Web3 fundamentals could be a potential barrier to entry for users. Javier said it has no intention to gatekeep its platform for only Web3 users. “A car rental business is for everyone, and we strongly believe in acquiring users through the path of ‘solving their problem’”. They will be issued FUEL tokens, and while they may not use them immediately- they will eventually be curious about wanting the perks that come with holding FUEL tokens. This could also act as a huge surge of users for the ICP, and should supercharge future projects to create a larger ecosystem among themselves to give new users an all-round experience.

Their rental platform launch earlier this week after officially acquiring their first vehicle, the MG ZS EV has already started gaining traction. KB said-

“We expect our vehicle to be fully booked out over the next few weeks, thanks to the strong waitlist we built in our target market. Mumbai is a key long-term market for FuelEV, and we’re focused on maintaining this momentum to scale our operations.”

Why ICP is Key to Scaling EV Adoption?

A report from the International Energy Agency talks about how we’ve reached a point where one out of every five vehicles sold globally is an electric vehicle. However, Javier argues that we need to accelerate this global mobility transformation.

FuelEV aims to make individual car ownership obsolete. Fleets would be owned by the community, and individuals would own all vehicles in the fleet by just investing in the network- all built on the Internet Computer.

FuelEV’s team believes robocars will proliferate global markets soon, and they intend to be ready to position themselves as a key player. All vehicles in the fleet would be retrofitted with cameras (external as well as internal dashcams to track driver behaviour). This would be crucial in gaining training data, on which artificial intelligence could be applied to map safe drive patterns and paths for robocars. This data would be exposed to robotaxi operators through paid APIs, making it a key revenue source for FuelEV. At the centre of this technological effort sits the continuous iteration and improvement of the Internet Computer in helping us realize their AI ambitions at scale.
