>Hello All - I am new:
>
>I hold US patent 3,890,161, now public domain for a chip which directly
converts heat of any entropy grade directly into electrical power.
>
>The concept is to have a vast number of nanometer scale diodes in uniform
alignment parallel rectify the internal thermal electromagnetic hiss of
diodes and aggregate their output.
>
>A professional lab measured an output of somewhat more than 1/2 kTB, the
scientific threshold of feasibility, from a commercial chip not
specifically designed to be practical and requiring a spot of conductive
paste.
>
>This should be independently investigated and the results reported.
>
>I anticapate 100 watts/sq.cm.performance levels based on nanofabricating
100 billion diodes/sq.cm.obtained with 34 nm rhombic tiles and assuming
that the diodes are 50% efficient.
>
>I expect that this invention will escape obscurity and become widely
available and usefull quickly.
>
>I would like the developers to follow a synergetic, open, global,
scientific, internet age model rather than the intellectual property patent
and copyright model.
>
>The demonstration prototypes were 2T6 gallium arsenide substrate, 5,600
2.3um gold anode plugs in glass,diode arrays fabricated at the University
of Virginia,Charlottsville. Dr.Thomas W.Crowe dept. head. He was not
investigating this use the last time I checked. Ken Zelund will have any
orders filled and shipped. I am independent of these people. Experimenters
have a choice of mounting.Their diode arrays do not have an electricly
conductive layer above the anode plugs because most users connect to
individual diodes. These chips are 10 mil wide squares. A~2 mil border
isolates the edge. Negative several tens of millivolts under load should be
observed at this anode buss. Max output should be at 1/2 the open circuit
voltage. These chips cost $250 each for individuals.Other chip types are
available.The chips were immersed in pure vegetable oil to assure
temperature uniformity.
