 Intel Innovators of Tomorrow 15 year old Varun Vasudevan , from Reliable Residency, HSR layout has been selected by Intel as one of the Innovators of tomorrow. Varun is pursuing his 10th Standard from Baldwin Boy’s school, Bangalore. His Idea about wireless power was displayed in Times Of India, all India edition 21st July 2009.
“Wireless Power is a technology that will be able to help most of the people all around the world. The power that is produced never reaches the people who need it the most. With wireless power many villages and cities will receive power without much problems. During transportation of power, many power lines are broken and due to this a lot of energy is wasted. This idea of mine will save a lot of hardship and also facilitate uninterrupted power supply. I want my country, India to be a brighter place to live.”
