We started in the late 1990s to address a need for articles that went beyond and deeper than the "30 second read" attention spans of news media. Being human we are not "unbiased". We are certainly biased towards what we believe to be the truth. We only post Public-Domain material and give public-domain references that anyone can access, wherever possible.
We present some Brief (and not so brief) Articles.
We present a few books.
We link a few YouTube presentations.
Our work is on problems that are considered "impossible to solve". We try to see under what circumstances these can be solved. And lay out solution paths. Sometimes if one explores enough, one finds a promising avenue - and then we must follow that until success - or until we find out what is wrong with the approach. Often interesting new avenues open up. "Advanced" means that it is not going to lead to a solution very soon, but if one does not start now, it just takes that much longer when one does.
Our strongest current focus is "How Can We Reverse Global Warming?" with the concept called the Glitter Belt.
This has taken us from Concept Development, to system development for 2 special types of electric UAVs, and then to increasing levels of detail. At present craft as big as 4 meters span are being built, striving to keep mass below the 2 kilogram limit that allows much freedom. The construction is accompanied by detailed CAD and analyses. To go to bigger craft we must face certification and permissions so everything has to be documented in intricate detail, from sources of materials to detailed fabrication and assembly procedures.
Instrumenting these craft to make atmospheric measurements, led us into Meteorology - and Fire Detection. The latter has now been taken up a team in the USA. We focus back on Meteorology - the acquisition of detailed weather and climate data. To test and calibrate these instrument packages, we hit upon the idea of placing the first ones on the ground - at various altitudes and micro-climates. Rural, green-field, close to sea level and the ocean itself. Urban heat island conditions, with heat and pollution, a bit inland, but at 40 to 50 meters above sea level. Semi-arid, sparsely populated hill country at a slightly higher altitude. High altitude (1500+ meters) tropical mountain/forest country.
And this made us realize that there is no good way to measure rainfall - which is the most important result in Keralam - except from the ground. And this has led us into the MARI Rain Measurement project.

Another focus, much shorter-term, is on Digital Twins. This takes various forms. One is Simulation-In-The-Loop Aerospace Design. One is Jet Engine Digital Twins with Physics-Based bottom-up and Data-Based Top-Down components. This now has participation from some very strong organizations.
