Abstract: The Electret Energy Storage System (EESS) achieves an advancement in the energy storage field due to high energy/power level densities integrated into a long term energy storage solution. Combining the high density energy storage solution of the EESS with traditional battery storage technologies reduces the overall energy storage three dimensional footprint when compared to battery only footprints. This combined EESS/battery long term energy storage provides a solution in providing energy from renewable energy systems when the presence of the wind or sun are not available when compared to traditional battery only storage solutions.

Abstract: A pulsed electrostatic/electric field generator apparatus providing a source of large quantity, free slow-speed high energy free electrons, or high energy positive ions, contained in an electrostatic/electric field capacity exceeding 1 Joule. The pulsed electrostatic/electric field generator apparatus encapsulates an enclosed non-equilibrium, non-thermal pulsed power plasma. A key subcomponent of this apparatus incorporates an innovative unipolar piezoelectric capacitor creating high voltage nanosecond rise time pulses in a multistage high energy step-up pulsed plasma generation sequence of steps. The resulting multi-Joule electrostatic/electric field is then tapped to provide a source of current and/or potential for use by external loads.

Abstract: An electrostatic field measurement sensor that determines the position and location of items under study, with respect to the location of the measurement apparatus. This position and location determination of items under study is performed by the sensor actively inducing, and then measuring the corresponding electric field response, both magnitude and direction, of all items under study that are within the field of view of the sensor. The field of view of the sensor is within a three dimensional space surrounding the sensor. The distance vector of the detection range of the sensor is directly correlated with the magnitude of the electric field surrounding the sensor.
