Strange that there is no patent number – only an application number
but they call it a patent.
Justia has been know to screw up in the past and the Inventor: Victor
M. Villalobos has claimed fantastical inventions before. I would love
to see this proved with an actual experiment - but as of now,
serious doubts are raised. Of course, it is possible that
Goodenough’s device relates to ZPE and this inventor could lay claim
to it -- but will we ever know what is going on scinetifically, now
that there are legal ramifications?
In the past USPTO would never grant a patent on anything to do with
ZPE or cold fusion, but things change…
Anyway this is curious – shall we say…?

And there is this 'Zero Point Energy Magnetic Battery'

The recent announcement from University of Texas of a far more
powerful solid-state "glass” battery technology from John
Goodenough's lab has yet to sink in for most of the scientific
community. There is evidence of a ten-fold increase in energy
density between charges, so long as there are rest periods. IOW
the device seems to recharge itself when given the time to do so.
The extreme interest in this technology is due to the reputation
of Goodenough, the inventor the Li-ion battery in several
versions including the one used by the Tesla automobile.
Goodenough is still active in the field at 94 years of age and
that is another miracle in this unfolding story about a device
that seems to defy physics. Curiously, this technology is
reminiscent of EESTOR which is just down the road and still
operating (under the radar) after disappointing dozens of VCs
with millions of dollar spent and no product. Must be something
in the water down there in the Lone Star state, even though both
technologies are water free.
Similarly to that EESTOR fiasco, the reaction among the “experts”
in the battery field strong skepticism tinged with jealousy. But
Goodenough and his reputation makes things more interesting this
time around. The growing conclusion from published early data is
that this battery breaks the laws of thermodynamics and that is
the most significant aspect of story from our perspective… but in
truth the gain could be coming from ambient heat and not the
chemicals in device – which technically is more like a
self-charging capacitor than a redox battery. This sounds a bit
like “water memory” in that we have mobile molecules that want to
return to a earlier state even after giving up energy and
dropping to a more stable state.
Although lithium is one of the chemicals, sodium works as well or
better so this is apparently not anything nuclear with respect to
Li, or is it? The glass electrolyte apparently contains lithium,
even in the case of sodium as the charge carrier. Nor is dense
hydrogen involved (unless it is trade secret). The one critical
material required is an alkali from Column 1, which indicates
that the manipulation of loosely bound electrons is the key. Many
here on vortex might remember back in the previous century there
were experiments and much talk about self-charging capacitors.
Even data. This not a new claim and in fact there is little doubt
that there are anomalies when you get to level of hundreds of
Farads in a small area, which is due to some kind of paradigm
shit … but the conservative opinion remains that these are
measurement problems and not thermodynamic violations.
Given everything that is unfolding, it is even likely that there
will be a fit between the extreme dielectrics of EESTOR and the
glass electrode of Goodenough. I would like to see a merger of
the two. Ultra dielectrics have not gone away.
Bottom line: Imagine the repercussions of an electric car with
ten times less battery cost than the new Tesla… or even four time
less. The market for crude oil would crash, no?
That possibility will ruffle some feathers, especially in Texas
where even students are armed. If I were John Goodenough, I would
insist on adding some guards around the Texas Materials Institute
and more security. He has a few good years left, it would seem.
The only bad news from this technology is that there will not be
very much demand for LENR if you can produce a low cost battery
which recharges itself … unless of course the recharging is
itself a form of LENR. This is not ruled out.
