Stephen,

 

I’m not sure the E field is static. It could look more like electronic noise. 
The inventor – Kumar - also has other patent apps which indicate the way he is 
going.

 

20150108851 Photovoltaic systems with shaped high frequency electric pulses

At least one photovoltaic (PV) cell comprising a semiconductor material having 
p-n junctions formed therein, and configured to generate a PV output voltage in 
response to light; and a pulse generator coupled to receive a PV output voltage 
and generate electric output pulses therefrom.

 

20150107644 Photovoltaic efficiency using high frequency electric pulses

A system can include at least one solar cell comprising a semiconductor 
material having p-n junctions formed therein; and a pulse generator 
electrically coupled to the solar cell and configured to apply electric pulses 
to dynamically alter a band gap of the semiconductor material as photons are 
received 

 

From: Stephen A. Lawrence 

 

Sounds sort of reasonable.

But something comes to mind -- the E field they apply, as described, doesn't do 
any work, as far as I can tell.  It just biases the cell.  IOW it's a static E 
field.

In particular, since there's no path for the charge to leave the "plates" 
(front and back coatings) there's certainly no way for the charge to do any 
work.

But that means it also consumes no energy.  Consequently, all you'd need are 
conductive coatings on the front and back of the cell, and you could charge 
them from anything at all, including a voltage multiplier driven by the cell's 
own output.  In essence, you stick the cell into the middle of a charged 
capacitor.

It's not hard to believe this would affect the solar cell, and might very well 
improve its efficiency.  OTOH if that's correct, then the "pyrolytic film" 
seems like unnecessary decoration on the basic idea.

Abstract

A method to increase the efficiency of a solar cell comprises applying one of a 
transparent pyroelectric film and a plurality of films in a stack on a front 
surface of the solar cell and applying one of an opaque pyroelectric film and 
plurality of films in a stack on another surface of the solar cell. An 
electromotive force is generated to bias the solar cell such that an open 
circuit voltage is created.

 

 

Terry,

 

They seem to contradict themselves: elsewhere they claim “the Efficoat 
technology” provides 15-20% improvement in power production from ordinary solar 
panels over the course of a typical day.” This would lead one to believe that 
the panels are coated.  

 

If the coating is not on the panels but contained in a remote box, then why not 
sell the box to Tesla and let the cars get 20% more out of the battery pack ? 
Who needs the solar panels? 

 

Hmmm … do we know that Tesla doesn’t do this already ?

 

From: Terry Blanton 


Is there a better description of their tech?  Say, a patent app?  'Cuz I don't 
get the impression that they do anything to the solar cell itself.  From the 
FAQ:

Is the Pyroelectric coating on the panel directly?

No, the Pyroelectric glass and coating reside inside the sealed Ultrasolar 
QuantunBoost™ device. There are no user serviceable parts in the device that 
need to be accessed by the user or field technician.

How does Pyroelectric help increase the power of a solar cell?

We create electric field from a coating of pyroelectric material on glass. The 
field is applied on the solar cell using the electrodes of the solar cell. The 
applied electric field removes electrons and holes from traps and accelerates 
them towards the electrodes. This increases the current resulting in increase 
of DC power from the panel.

 

So, er, has anyone tried substituting a battery for the solar cells?  After 
all, as Monty Python says, "Every electron is special."  So the origin should 
not matter.  (It was 'electron', right?)

 

Okay, I'll stop.  Bollocks!

>From their video, it looks like they were trying to find a way to eliminate
electron recombination in the silicon lattice to improve efficiency.  They
may be planning to do that with fields created with the pyroelectric
films.  Since the typical delta T from front to back in the panel is 26C,
there is the opportunity to have a pyroelectric film to generate a field
for use in their function.  In the mean time, they may be applying the bias
with an electrical circuit to model the effects of the pyroelectric film on
the panel efficiency (in the manner they developed to eliminate the
electron recombination).

It is interesting technology.  If they are able to simulate, what would
keep them from deploying the electronic method?

[Vo]:Record low price . . . because it is in Abu Dubai

2016-09-22 Thread Jed Rothwell
The title of this discussion has a problem . . .

Anyway, the article is here:

http://rameznaam.com/2016/09/21/new-record-low-solar-price-in-abu-dhabi-costs-plunging-faster-than-expected/

It says:

The solar bid in Abu Dhabi is not just the cheapest solar power contract
ever signed – it’s the cheapest contract for electricity ever signed,
anywhere on planet earth, using any technology.


It is 2.42 cents/kwh. Anyway, obviously, one reason it is cheap is because
they have lots of sunlight at Abu Dubai. This is like building a
hydroelectric dam in Niagara, NY. I am not criticizing! This is exactly the
right way to implement a new technology. Look for low hanging fruit. Use
the technology in the places and situations where it works best, and gives
you the best return on investment. You gain experience, make a profit,
lower the price, expand the market, and eventually move into less promising
markets such as solar PV in Chicago. Or Nome, AK.

This is why I have no objection to Tesla automobiles targeted to the luxury
market. The company is not yet contributing measurably to reducing gasoline
consumption, but it is building up experience and establishing a base of
technology that might eventually have a huge impact. Letting wealthy people
pay for this development is a great idea.

This is described in the book "The Innovator's Dilemma," which I highly
recommend.

If seems that LENR reactors are not as inherently

of LENR technology could still be accommodated into
the current power infrastructure.

The development of ocean deployment of huge wind
turbines will serve LENR reactor deployment well. A
safe method of LENR deployment will entail the use
of those floating platforms located just off shore.

The technical feasibility of deepwater floating LENR
platforms will not be questioned, as the long-term
survivability of floating structures has been
successfully demonstrated by the marine and offshore
oil industries over many decades. However, the
economics that allowed the deployment of thousands
of offshore oil rigs have yet to be demonstrated for
floating LENR reactor platforms. For deepwater wind
turbines, a floating structure will replace
pile-driven monopoles or conventional concrete bases
that are commonly used as foundations for shallow
water and land-based reactors. The floating
structure must provide enough buoyancy to support
the weight of the reactor as a function of its size
and power production rating and to restrain pitch,
roll and heave motions within acceptable limits.

Since muon shielding is so problematic, distance
from any population is the one dependable risk
mitigation method.

To get an idea about how far the muon bubble extends away from the LENR
reaction, the zone of electrical interference would be the only currently
known method of detection.

ME356: "Emissions (RF, electrons and UV) during the test were so strong
that my control circuit was absolutely crazy even that it was 3 meters away
- it is unusable."

The muon bubble must extend out beyond 3 meters.

DGT said that the EMI interference disabled their phone system. How wide
spread that system was is not known.

A EMI detector is a way that the muon bubble might
be unambiguously characterized.

A Spy Camera & Audio Bug Detector might pick up EMI interference

or a EMI detector could be build from scratch if the R budget is an issue.

It looks like an interesting technology.  However, the real metric is not
in panel efficiency or system efficiency, it is total$/kWh.  This has to
include the longevity of the panel.  The total cost/kWh over the life of
the panel is its installed cost (+maintenance costs) amortized over the
life of the panel divided by the total kWh produced during its lifetime.
Most solar installations on Earth are not limited by available area, they
are chosen based on the cost per kWh produced.

This shows up, for example, in comparison of poly-crystalline panels to
thin film panels.  Thin film are much cheaper per kW, but their lifetime is
less than half that of the poly panels, making their total cost per kWh
higher.

It will be interesting to see if this technology has a business case in the
end.

One trivial point -- if you're in free fall I don't think there is any 
Rindler boundary.  You're following a geodesic, and not "really" 
accelerating.


You can't just apply SR in the curved spacetime around a gravitating 
mass and get the right answer.  In fact, while you certainly /can/ apply 
SR in an accelerated frame (with some care), you can't really apply it 
at all in non-flat space.  The math of SR assumes a fixed metric, which 
you haven't got in a gravitational field.   In general, while I don't 
_think_ there is, I have no idea how you'd go about determining for sure 
whether there's an event horizon due to acceleration when free-falling 
in a gravitational field.

20 years.  If the object instantaneously experienced a change in

Do you honestly believe that modern relativity theory takes Einstein's 
conclusions from his original papers and just blindly uses them?  What 
kind of idiots do you take physicists to be, anyway?


The modern version of SR is based on tensor calculus with little or no 
connection with Einstein's original algebraic work.  His GR papers still 
look quite modern, but even there all of his work has been redone, 
rederived, many times over.


You can pick at his 1905 paper from now 'til the cows come home, or go 
waste your time on something else, it makes no difference. Whether there 
are errors in the derivations in that paper or not, seriously, /nobody 
cares/.


(Sorry, everybody, in years past I wasted a lot of time in arguments in 
the relativity news groups.  Some people just don't understand the math 
of SR and will never believe that it works.)

Terry,

 

They seem to contradict themselves: elsewhere they claim “the Efficoat 
technology” provides 15-20% improvement in power production from ordinary solar 
panels over the course of a typical day.” This would lead one to believe that 
the panels are coated.  

 

If the coating is not on the panels but contained in a remote box, then why not 
sell the box to Tesla and let the cars get 20% more out of the battery pack ? 
Who needs the solar panels? 

 

Hmmm … do we know that Tesla doesn’t do this already ?

 

From: Terry Blanton 


Is there a better description of their tech?  Say, a patent app?  'Cuz I don't 
get the impression that they do anything to the solar cell itself.  From the 
FAQ:

Is the Pyroelectric coating on the panel directly?

No, the Pyroelectric glass and coating reside inside the sealed Ultrasolar 
QuantunBoost™ device. There are no user serviceable parts in the device that 
need to be accessed by the user or field technician.

How does Pyroelectric help increase the power of a solar cell?

We create electric field from a coating of pyroelectric material on glass. The 
field is applied on the solar cell using the electrodes of the solar cell. The 
applied electric field removes electrons and holes from traps and accelerates 
them towards the electrodes. This increases the current resulting in increase 
of DC power from the panel.

 

So, er, has anyone tried substituting a battery for the solar cells?  After 
all, as Monty Python says, "Every electron is special."  So the origin should 
not matter.  (It was 'electron', right?)

 

Okay, I'll stop.  Bollocks!

Here is the patent application – or one of them

https://www.google.com/patents/US20120216847

 

Abstract

A method to increase the efficiency of a solar cell comprises applying one of a 
transparent pyroelectric film and a plurality of films in a stack on a front 
surface of the solar cell and applying one of an opaque pyroelectric film and 
plurality of films in a stack on another surface of the solar cell. An 
electromotive force is generated to bias the solar cell such that an open 
circuit voltage is created.

This brings to mind a local company (SF Bay) with an add-on product for solar
