  • Patent number: 11462674
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for creating spin-affected electric currents passively and feeding them into electric devices. The invention can be realized as either a rectangular black box incorporating coatings on top of and on the bottom of a conducting volume of material, or by coating a round-shaped wire or thread(s) of a cable. This is obtained by using a specific coating material on the conducting piece of material. The material may be piezoelectric, such as silicon dioxide (i.e. quartz) but also silicon carbide (SiC) may be used. Also, mixtures and composite arrangements are possible in order to create a coating. The manufactured add-on unit, when supplied with the input power or input signal, will act as an electron spin feeding device to the electric device because the electrons will be moving strongly within the interface area of the coating and the conducting material with aligned spins.

  • Publication number: 20220263057
    Abstract: A method reduces internal resistance of a battery (204, 300). In the method, a charging current is directed to a battery (204, 300), where the charging current includes spin-polarized and charged electrons. A dedicated spin generator (203) is capable of providing the charging current including spin-polarized and charged electrons. Next, the battery (204, 300) has been manufactured so that the battery includes either ferroelectric or pyroelectric material at least either in an anode (305), in a cathode (302), or in an other element of the battery (204, 300). The material can be selected to be polyvinylidene fluoride (“PVDF”) or modified materials thereof. After at least one cycle of charging of the battery (204, 300), the battery (204, 300) with reduced internal resistance is obtained.

  • Publication number: 20130140059
    Abstract: The present invention introduces a method and a structure for effectively generating spin currents in a metallic electric conductor. When, for example, a conductor manufactured from copper is evenly coated with a thin carbon layer, the internal direction of the magnetic axis, i.e. the spin, of the electrons acting as charge carriers can be polarized in such a way that the spins of the set of electrons align in the area of the interface between carbon and copper. This results in intensive generation of the spin current in the coated conductor. The generation of the spin current enables reduction of losses, shortening of delays relating to signal transfer and improvement of the general immunity to interferences.
