A new heat engine with no moving parts is as efficient as a steam turbine
|
|
From MIT News: A new heat engine with no moving parts is as efficient as a steam turbine/ by Jennifer Chu | MIT News Office
The design could someday enable a fully decarbonized power grid, researchers say.
A thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cell (size 1 cm x 1 cm) mounted on a heat sink designed to measure the TPV cell efficiency. To measure the efficiency, the cell is exposed to an emitter and simultaneous measurements of electric power and heat flow through the device are taken. Image: Felice Frankel
Engineers at MIT and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have designed a heat engine with no moving parts. Their new demonstrations show that it converts heat to electricity with over 40 percent efficiency — a performance better than that of traditional steam turbines.

HB11's hydrogen-boron laser fusion
|

 Via NewAtlas.com: HB11's hydrogen-boron laser fusion test yields groundbreaking results - By Loz Blain
HB11 is approaching nuclear fusion from an entirely new angle, using
high power, high precision lasers instead of hundred-million-degree
temperatures to start the reaction. Its first demo has produced 10 times
more fusion reactions than expected, and the company says it's now "the
only commercial entity to achieve fusion so far," making it "the global
frontrunner in the race to commercialize the holy grail of clean
energy."

 Via NewAtlas.com: The most creative battery breakthroughs of 2021 By Nick Lavars
With lithium-ion batteries serving as the engine room for so much of the
modern world, from phones and laptops, to electric cars and planes,
every scientific breakthrough that improves their performance is an
important one. Some of these come from incremental advances that
experiment with alternative materials, for example, while some come from
re-imagining the whole device and the way they work from the ground up.
2021 produced a stellar crop of discoveries that resulted from
researchers thinking outside the box in this way. Let's take a look at
the most creative and interesting examples.

Neutrino voltaic power generator
|
|
Anonymous writes: As far as I know, on ZPEnergy this device/principle is not mentioned. You can find more information in the German Net-Journal from November-December 2021.
Below is a link to the first article/pdf from HEFT 11/12: Adolf und Inge Schneider: Die Schweizerische Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Freie Energie SAFE und die Neutrinoenergie, S.4 - 11 ( http://www.borderlands.de/inet.dbnj.php3).
Its seems that they can make a foil that reacts on neutrino blasts and produce 24/7 electricity.
"In
response to a question from Dr. Frank Lichtenberg after the
performance, Holger answers that 3 W can be generated on the area of an
A4 sheet. A 1 m2 generated around 50 W".

A MODERN VERSION OF THE HUBBARD AUTONOMOUS SOLID-STATE GENERATOR
|
|
Mark Goldes writes: About 100 years ago, 16 year old Alfred Hubbard invented an autonomous generator without moving parts. The first one lit a lamp. Then he powered an 18’ electric boat that had a 25 Hp motor, in a widely viewed public demonstration on a lake in Seattle. Next he removed a 40 Hp engine from a car and replaced it with his invention and drove it around Everett, WA.
Scientists were baffled (and still are). The generator never made it into production. Had it done so, we might not be confronting a climate emergency.
A contemporary inventor in Russia (and his partner) have discovered how the Hubbard generator functioned. They are developing a contemporary version.
Once in production, a 5 kW model is expected to occupy a volume of one cubic foot. It will be an inexpensive 24/7 replacement for rooftop photovoltaics.

Twenty years after Tom Bearden's MEG
|
|
Anthony Craddock writes: It was 20 years ago today, or almost, that Tom Bearden’s (et al) Motionless Electromagnetic Generator (MEG) burst onto the scene, putting out a solid overunity power performance which was replicated by a number of researchers. One build up was tested to destruction producing a Coefficient of Performance (COP) over 100. The unit was awarded a Patent by the US Patent office, and Tom incorporated it into a personal briefing that he gave to two Senate technical committees in Washington. For a while, its details and performance was listed on the Department of Energy website, and later removed.

Navy patent: new compact fusion reactor design
|
|
Anonymous writes: Last month, another radical high-temperature superconductor design was revealed to the world. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and its spin-off firm Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) published seven articles in a special edition the Journal of Plasma Physics detailing a revolutionary new compact fusion reactor design. MIT/CFS claims that the reactor, known as SPARC, could very well be “the first net-energy controlled fusion experiment” in the world.

Quantum engines with entanglement as fuel?
|
|
Submitted by Scalar: Quantum engines with entanglement as fuel? Hello, I found these interesting articles, I wanted to share with you and your readers. Please post it for readers to see:
"Professor of physics Andrew Jordan Jordan and his colleagues will use superconducting circuits to design experiments that can be carried out within a realistic quantum system, with the goal of studying concepts that are currently poorly understood in quantum mechanics. (Image: J. Adam Fenster)"
This is interesting because many years ago the famous free energy developer, Thomas Bearden, said that he predicted that once the details of controlling quantum potential fields and entanglement was developed, we could see quantum engines and self replicating quantum materials based on this. That article from Nano Werk shows this is possible and being worked on.

Anonymous writes:  Via phys.org: Physicists build circuit that generates clean, limitless power from graphene
A team of University of Arkansas physicists has successfully developed a circuit capable of capturing graphene's thermal motion and converting it into an electrical current.
"An energy-harvesting circuit based on graphene could be incorporated into a chip to provide clean, limitless, low-voltage power for small devices or sensors," said Paul Thibado, professor of physics and lead researcher in the discovery.

Nano-diamond self-charging batteries could disrupt energy as we know it
|
|
Via NewAtlas: Here shown as a small, circuit board mounted design, the nano diamond battery has the potential to totally upend the energy equation since it never needs charging and lasts many, many years - NDB
California company NDB says its nano-diamond batteries will absolutely upend the energy equation, acting like tiny nuclear generators. They will blow any energy density comparison out of the water, lasting anywhere from a decade to 28,000 years without ever needing a charge. They will offer higher power density than lithium-ion. They will be nigh-on indestructible and totally safe in an electric car crash. And in some applications, like electric cars, they stand to be considerably cheaper than current lithium-ion packs despite their huge advantages.

BLP News & Updates - SUNCELL® POWER GAIN 10+
|
|
From Brilliant Light Power: SUNCELL® POWER GAIN 10+
We are engineering commercial thermal and electrical power sources wherein the SunCell® operates at high-temperature capable of providing 1000°C liquid gallium to a liquid-gallium-to-air heat exchanger to generate high temperature air for thermal loads and also power a Brayton cycle turbine to generate electrical power. We successfully tested an upgraded system to supply a more ideal hydrino reaction mixture that has pushed our gain to over ten times the input power at greater than 250 kW excess power and a corresponding power density of over 5 MW/liter. The results of these trials demonstrate the utility of SunCell® towards the goal of a commercial heater of several hundred kilowatts to service the greater than $8T/y thermal market and enable the integration of the heat exchanger into a Brayton cycle to produce electricity to service the electrical market.
