  • Publication number: 20200027573
    Abstract: An apparatus for creating composite particles with nuclei and electrons in one or more bound states. The apparatus has a vessel containing a gas such as hydrogen, deuterium or helium at a predetermined pressure, and a pair of electrodes extending into the vessel. The positive electrode is separated from the negative electrode by an adjustable gap. One or more capacitors are connected to the electrodes to provide a DC discharge, causing an arc across the electrodes. The apparatus has a pump configured to circulate the gas at a predetermined flow rate through the gap between the electrodes. Discharging the capacitors creates an electrical arc across the gap that ionizes the gas, generating a plasma that includes composite particles having a nuclei and electrons in the one or more bound states.

  • Patent number: 10100262
    Abstract: A method for bonding a fluid to a substance includes filling a first pressure vessel with the fluid and pressurizing the first pressure vessel to a first pressure. The fluid is the circulated through an electric arc formed within the first pressure vessel, thereby creating a treated fluid. Within a second pressure vessel, the substance is exposed to a magnetic field, thereby forming a polarized substance. The treated fluid and polarized substance are combined under a second pressure within a third pressure vessel, thereby exposing the treated fluid to the polarized substance at a pressure sufficient to achieve a bond.

  • Publication number: 20160363756
    Abstract: The invention introduces for the first time telescopes for the detection of images originating from light emitted by antimatter stars or galaxies whose specifications are opposite to those of conventional telescopes for the detection of images of far away stars or galaxies in accordance with known conjugations in the transition from matter to antimatter. In particular, conventional convex lenses or concave mirrors for the detection of stars and galaxies are replaced with concave lenses and convex mirrors for the detection of antimatter stars or galaxies. The invention also includes means for the conversion of conventional refractive or reflective telescopes for the detection of matter stars or galaxies into their conjugate for the detection of antimatter stars or galaxies.

  • Patent number: 8236150
    Abstract: An application for a recycler includes a pressure and temperature resistant metal vessel that is filled with a liquid. Within the vessel is at least one submerged electric arc between a pair of carbon base electrodes powered by either a DC or AC current. The vessel has mechanical systems that maintain and optimize the electric arc. The electric arc produces a combustible gas. The liquid is pumped through a bore in one or more of the electrodes, delivering the liquid directly to the location of the arc, thereby reducing or eliminating any ignition of the gas by the arc.

  • Publication number: 20120033775
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing usable heat by fusion of two atoms within a vessel filled with a gas. The fusion is performed under pressure within an electric arc between two electrodes within the vessel. The electron clouds of the atoms are deformed into a toroidal shape by a magnetic field of the electric arc, thereby exposing the nuclei of both atoms. Upon such exposure, a trigger such as a sudden change in the arc or a sudden increase of pressure in the vessel forces the nuclei of the atoms to fuse, producing a new atom. Selection of the gas, the electrodes, as well as the operating power, pressure and flow through the arc results in the production of energy that is greater than the electric energy consumed by the arc. Heat produced by the fusion is used for the production of electricity or other commercial use.

  • Patent number: 7780924
    Abstract: An apparatus for making a combustible gas that comprises a vessel filled with a liquid, a submerged electric arc between a moving anode acting on a cathode moving in a direction perpendicular to the anode. An incandescence of an interface area between the electrodes is enclosed on all sides by insulating skirts, except for clearances suitable for the flow of the liquid through the electric arc and the exit of the liquid. The gas produced by the submerged electric arc acting on the liquid, bubbles to the surface of the liquid for collection at a desired pressure, physical and chemical esoenergetic reactions caused by the electric arc generate heat acquired by the liquid, which can be used to in an external heat exchanger to generate steam or electricity, and solid residues accumulate in strainers placed along a liquid flow for periodic collection.
