BATTERIES AND RELATED STRUCTURES HAVING FRACTAL OR SELF-COMPLEMENTARY STRUCTURES
United States Patent Application 20180114989 - April 26, 2018
ABSTRACT:
An aspect of the subject technology/invention of the present disclosure includes electrode structures or elements/components that have (e.g., present) fractal and/or self-complementary shapes or structures, e.g., on a surface. Such shapes or structures can be pre-existing. The electrodes can be made of any suitable material. The electrodes may function or operate or be used as a "seed" structure to incorporate or receive a material or materials useful for lattice assisted nuclear reactions and/or cold fusion processes.http://appft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-adv.html&r=1&p=1&f=G&l=50&d=PG01&S1=(fusion.AB.+AND+20180426.PD.)&OS=abst/fusion+AND+pd/4/26/2018&RS=(ABST/fusion+AND+PD/20180426)
A METHOD FOR USE IN POWER GENERATION AND AN ASSOCIATED APPARATUS
United States Patent Application 20180114604 - April 26, 2018
ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the present inventive concept, there is provided a method for use in power generation. The method comprises bringing a first target matter via wave resonance into a higher energy state by exposing the first target matter to electromagnetic radiation input energy for producing a first isotope shift in the first target matter and neutrons resulting from the first isotope shift, and capturing the neutrons by a second target matter for producing a second isotope shift in the second target matter and electromagnetic radiation output energy. Furthermore, the present inventive concept also relates to an associated apparatus.

Apparatus and Method for Controlling a Plasma Fusion Reactor
United States Patent Application 20180114603 - April 26, 2018ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of a plasma fusion energy reactor based on Bussard's Polywell concept. The apparatus of the embodiments include interior, electron-extraction electrodes to remove cold, trapped electrons and replace them with hot electrons. Hot electrons efficiently confine a dense, hot plasma fuel. The method of the embodiments discloses a procedure for controlling the reactor during its start-up phase of operation. During start-up the reactor is changed from being in a cold, empty state to being in a stable steady-state of energy production. Reliable computer simulation predicts that in steady-state the disclosed apparatus and method will produce usable net-power continuously and for an indefinite period of operation. The full-scale reactor design is suitable for replacing most of the world's existing coal-fired power production with a clean, safe energy production alternative.http://appft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-adv.html&r=3&p=1&f=G&l=50&d=PG01&S1=(fusion.AB.+AND+20180426.PD.)&OS=abst/fusion+AND+pd/4/26/2018&RS=(ABST/fusion+AND+PD/20180426)
