Abstract: The invention generates high-energy particles, or quantum energy, from a quantum macro object. The method used comprises: (a) isolating a gaseous substance within a bounded area; (b) energizing the gaseous substance, causing the gaseous substance to transition into a glow discharge plasma state; (c) increasing the gas pressure within the bounded area to transition the glow discharge plasma to a quantum macro object comprising a positively charged nucleus surrounded by an electron cloud; (d) inducing an active impact upon the quantum macro object such that the potential energy existing within the quantum macro object is converted and released in the form of quantum energy in a continuous and inexhaustible manner. The bounded area is typically created by a dielectric of various sorts, such as within a dielectric container or properly charged air.

Abstract: A material such as a gas at an initial pressure below atmospheric is treated with RF energy at a frequency greater than 1 MHz to transition to a glow discharge state and then at increased pressure to a new state at which the average internal temperature is at least an order of magnitude higher than in the glow discharge state but the rate or radiating heat is at least an order of magnitude lower than in the glow discharge state. The new state can be maintained for a period of the order of at least tens of seconds and energy can be extracted through contacting the gas in the new state with a heat conducting body. In variations, the gas pressure need not be below atmospheric, materials in liquid and solid phases can be used in place of the gas, and energizers other than RF energy can be used, such as high-voltage discharges and high-energy particle beams.
