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.
