Anadish Kumar Pal (born 1963) is an Indian inventor,[1] poet,[2] and environmentalist.[3] He is of Bengali origin. Anadish Pal has obtained nine United States patents, a significant patent issued last year in January for an electromagnetically controlled, fuel-efficient internal combustion engine is titled, "Relaying piston multiuse valve-less electromagnetically controlled energy conversion devices". He was granted two more patents last year for a unique gas-operated reloading gun which is titled in the patent grant as "Magnetic gyro-projectile device with electronic combustion, turbogeneration and gyro stabilization" and for a railgun. In 2007, the Office of Naval Research of the United States Navy showed interest in his railgun technology[4]. He was issued another significant patent in 2007 for a 3D computer mouse. He has also filed for several other US and Indian patent applications. His recent patent is for a high torque electric motor. He started as a self-taught electronics designer who used to do freelance projects for companies such as Maruti Udyog, Honda, the National Institute for the Visually Handicapped, Dehradun, and Duracell (now a part of Global Gillette). Afterwards, he turned his attention to inventions. His concept for a personal mobility vehicle (PMV) for the common man, a diwheel vehicle is ready to go to the prototype development stage and Pal has been trying to get companies interested in it, so far with little success.
Pal is not a qualified designer or engineer. After dropping out of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in 1982, he took to electronics and prototyping as a hobby when he was in Gorakhpur living with his late mother (she died in 1982). He designed a DXing radio receiver when he was 14, which never worked; however, he designed his own circuit and made all the PCBs himself. He did freelance projects for Maruti and Honda Power. In 2000, Honda Power product's engineering department in Uttarkhand had designed a charging genset with a technical flaw. So, the Indian Army didn’t give the genset clearance. Pal designed an SMPS based voltage regulator for the genset, after which it was accepted by the army.
Pal also takes positions as an environmentalist on the issues of saving trees in Delhi and in that regard seems to have come under various threats from an anti-tree lobby.
