The city has developed a remodelling scheme for seven different locations that will transform car-packed roads and intersections into areas that can be enjoyed by cyclists and pedestrians. The project started with the Place de la République in 2013, when the author- ities commissioned a redesign that created a pedes- trian plaza planted with trees and lined with benches. The next location will be the Place de la Bastille, currently functioning as a traffic island with a huge memo- rial in the middle. The square will be reconnected to the curb on one side with a green space with benches and seating areas. The formal redesign of the square will start in 2017.

From very humble beginnings in India, he has had a remarkable career in the fields of academia, international diplomacy and intercultural dialogue. He has received the highest civilian honour from the President of France, the ‘Légion d’honneur’ and a prestigious award from the President of India. His wife, author and poet, Priti Sanyal, was always by his side. We speak to this amazing husband and wife duo about their life, expat experiences and their partnership.

The greatest joy and challenge was working with different cultures, ethnic groups and countries developing their education. The Poland and Philippines project was quite challenging but rewarding as we were using the cultural varia- bles for an educational and planning model.

Priti, your husband has worked and travelled in many countries around the world, did you accompany him on all his diplomatic missions? Was it difficult for you to stay away from India for so many years? Priti: I accompanied him on 35 missions out of the 77 official missions he travelled on, including remote places like Rwanda, East Timor, Yemen, Poland, Kenya, Tanzania and Palestine.

We all know the feeling of satisfaction that comes from learning something new, and the desire we have to share freshly acquired knowledge. Schools and universities provide ample opportunities for this, but once we leave the educational circuit and the routine of working life takes over, we generally have less time to devote to learning about anything that isn’t directly related to our professional or family lives. Any free time we do have, we usually prefer to spend relaxing, meeting friends or traveling.

Up to 60 % of man-made CO2 is said to come from all (IC) engines. For over 130 years, 30% to 50% of fuel energy has been wasted through water- or air-based cooling systems and radiation. Litus is developing 21st century super-efficient DIRECTORY | www.paris.expatriatesmagazine.com | Page 33 uncooled internal combustion (IC) engines, for ALL uses and fuels. They do not yet exist, people are unaware of their possibility, and apparently only Litus is developing them. Engines must become much more efficient, or use hydrogen as it becomes available.

Uncooled engines would cut energy use, operating costs and CO2 emissions by about half. They would be two to ten times lighter and smaller; nearly silent; more reliable as there are no cooling or piston / cylinder oil systems to fail; and cost about the same as today’s units. Efficiencies can be raised further by using the extra-hot energy-rich exhaust gas in a turbine or for district heating and cooling. The engines are for ships; rail; agricultural / mining equipment; generators; pumps; small machines, and vehicles.

At December’s Paris COP21 meeting, there was much talk of the end of the fossil fuel era. It is not realistic today, as IC engines, sometimes as part of a hybrid-drive system, are virtually the only option in so many of the above applications. The only solution would be to run uncooled IC engines on hydrogen (see below).

recess Pistons / cylinders of impact-resistant industrial ceramic, running at much greater temperatures and pressures than today’s, are inside thermally and acoustically insulating casings. With no plumbing for a piston-cylinder oil or coolant systems, engines can be snap-in cartridges as sketched, swapped in minutes. Vehicles and equipment no longer need to be towed to a repair facility, a real game-changer.

engine

Once the first long-life uncooled engines are on the market, they would replace cooled engines within fifteen years, cutting total man-made CO2 by 25% or more, potentially the single biggest and quickest fix for limiting temperature rise near the 1.5 to 2.0 degrees C target of Paris agreement. During a transition, the IC engine market would grow beyond today’s over $300 Billion annually.

The challenging ongoing design, building and testing of up to six 300 - 450 kW long-life pre-production prototypes is budgeted at $14 million, including $8 million contingencies. Private rather than available government funding is sought. Alliances are forming with engine users and product manufacturers, also with academic / research institutions, one of which is due to build the prototypes’ ceramics.

Within two years, after successful 1,000 hour testing – giving great credit to all involved – patents will be licensed to volume producers. No further funding is required; people would use their own money to buy items with super-efficient, smaller and lighter uncooled engines, so cutting global CO2.

Uncooled engines using hydrogen and a generator could replace fuel cells in many systems. With similar efficiencies, much longer life and about a tenth of the cost and three to five times the life, uncooled gen-sets would lead to the wide use of hydrogen in ‘zero-emissions’ situations. (Hydrogen for IC engines is proven, by BMW and others.)

For the engine project, investment loans can be arranged, secured by assets including a valuable patent portfolio, with investors additionally entitled to a share of gross revenues. Giving protection in over fifty countries, the strong patents are controlled by the Foundation, due to receive nearly all gross patent revenues.

The start of uncooled engine production, promising a 25% to 35% reduction of CO2, could motivate greater efforts. Spending on solar, wind and soil management could cut CO2 by over 25%; increasing buildings' efficiency a further 12%; changing habits in driving and use of heating / air-conditioning another 15%. By doing ALL, manmade CO2 emissions could be cut by about 75% within fifteen years. Such a big reduction – far greater than now thought possible – will seriously slow global warming.

Beer that you can use as the base for your shandy: {{ Wheat beer. Silky and smooth, but a little heavier, pairs wonderfully with the lemon. {{ Lager. Crisp and refreshing, this makes a somewhat lighter shandy.

DIRECTIONS: If you can, choose all-natural lemonade. With a great beer, natural lemonade tastes amazing. If using a lemonade such as Sprite, add a little bit less than the specified amount (~150 ml). A shandy made with lemon soda ends up being a little sweet for many people, overpowering the taste of the beer. You can always add more soda in at the end after tasting.
