Energizing Energy Converters By Stimulating Three-Body Association Radiation Reactions
US 20140034116 A1
In some embodiments, energy is released by converting the bonding potential energy between two electropositive masses capable of forming a stable bond between them into the kinetic energy of an electron quasiparticle initially captured between them by the coulomb potential. The electron quasiparticles form transient bonds with delocalized ions and other reactants in or on a reaction particle where reaction rates and branches are controlled by the choice of electron quasiparticle effective mass. Methods and apparatus for stimulating and controlling such association reactions are shown and described. Thermionic and semiconductor methods and apparatus convert the electron quasiparticle energy directly into electricity. Other embodiments are disclosed.
The patent is not at all clear about LENR, and list many possible configuration of metal and isotopes including NiH...
What seems proposed is an LENR reaction with hydrogen isotope and metal, that finally can produce electricity through thermionic converter...
Help to understand the patent is welcome .
I don't know if the circumvolution in the patent are made to make the patent very generic, to hide LENR from USPTO censors, or because of crackpot theory...
it seems an evolutions (not much) from an application in 2001 https://www.google.com/patents/US20010018923 (by only Anthony Zuppero & Jawahar Gidwani)
The CEO of the company owning it, is a retired owner/president of CMS Management Solution, who worked for a SRI spinoff about 1986-1988. He seems a generic experienced CEO/Executive, with only distant relation to SRI befores F&P...
He explain his choice:
QuoteCame out of retirement to team with college fraternity brother, Anthony Zuppero, to develop products and a business around his patents.
Anthony Zuppero seems to be a nuclear physicist who worked on Nuclear thermal Rockets. He is controversial for some crazy looking proposal in that domain (using H bombs).
