| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 7371962 | Diode energy converter for chemical kinetic electron energy transfer An improved diode energy converter for chemical kinetic electron energy transfer is formed using nanostructures and includes identifiable regions associated with chemical reactions isolated chemically from other regions in the converter, a region associated with an ... | 05/13/2008 |
| 7223914 | Pulsed electron jump generator A device and method for stimulating pulsed chemical reactions in a small volume of gaseous reactants. An emitter stimulates the reactions of a fuel oxidizer mixture and a collector converts the vibrational energy of the resulting products into useful energy. The dev... | 05/29/2007 |
| 7208767 | Electron-jump chemical energy converter A method and a device for converting energy uses chemical reactions in close proximity to or on a surface to convert a substantial fraction of the available chemical energy of the shorter lived energized products, such as vibrationally excited chemicals and hot elec... | 04/24/2007 |
| 7122735 | Quantum well energizing method and apparatus A method and apparatus that converts energy provided by a chemical reaction into energy for charging a quantum well device. The disclosed apparatus comprises a catalyst layer that catalyzes a chemical reaction and captures hot electrons and hot phonons generated by ... | 10/17/2006 |
| 7119272 | Gas specie electron-jump chemical energy converter An apparatus and method for extracting energy is provided. In one aspect the method includes using chemical reactions to generate vibrationally excited molecules, such as high-quantum-number-vibrationally-excited gas molecules in a region. The vibration energy in th... | 10/10/2006 |
| 6944202 | Surface catalyst infra red laser An energy converter reacts hydrocarbons and air on a catalyst configuration to produce a population inversion. A photovoltaic system may extract the radiating energy, and a laser system may extract a significant fraction of the reaction energy in the form of coheren... | 09/13/2005 |
| 6916451 | Solid state surface catalysis reactor A method and apparatus to stimulate chemical reactions on a catalyst surface using electricity, and the reverse process to convert energy released from chemical reactions into electricity. A reversible emitter generates electrons which are injected into reactants on... | 07/12/2005 |
