Do not take the following suggestion too seriously. There is little
supporting evidence for it.
It is premised on a Son-of-Shoulders-EVO (Ken Shoulders) notion:
basically that coherent clusters of electrons in bound groups are a
possible outcome of moderate voltage cathode emissions under ideal
circumstances. Here it would be circumstance far removed from a vacuum,
such as in an electrochemical cell. He would not necessarily agree that
this is even possible- there is little indication in a quick googling.
Beyond that, there would need to be candidate reactions involving the
EVOs which are either nuclear or hydrino-related, which give substantial
energy, which is many times more than chemical energy.
The idea is that the battery array will be self-charging due to this
source of excess energy.
My favorite hypothesis-du-jour is the "faux-beta-decay." Let me
elaborate on this, one since the hypothesis is about 30 seconds old.
1) First you have an EVO emitted from an electrode.
2) Second you have nascent hydrogen (from any source such as so-called
free hydrogen, or an acid ion of battery acid).
3) Third you end up with a faux-n (which is a the free hydrogen proton
which becomes bound to a resonant electron from the EVO - which gives it
a short term stability (maybe nanoseconds) in which it "appears" to be a
low energy neutron, since the orbital is so tight)
4) Fourth the faux-n comes close to another nucleus (any nucleus) as
neutrons are wont to do.
5) Fifth, the faux-n is too large to tunnel but its near field interacts
with the target, and the electron is shed violently away.
6) Sixth this is the "faux-beta-decay" and the resultant electron is in
the range of 5-10 keV in mass/energy but there is also the proton, which
is less energetic but which is "nascent" and is now poised to repeat the
above sequence in a chain-like reaction.
7) Multiply the above by a reaction rate of about 10^20 for a few
thousand amps of draw, and the battery array (high voltage array) is
arguably self-charging. There will be slight induced radioactivity over
time, but fortunately with all of that lead in the vicinity, it is
unlikely to register on a meter.
At any rate, I can envision that this situation will require a power
supply in which the major charge carrier is a ion, and in particular an
ion related to sulfuric acid. IOW a lead-acid battery array. And a high
voltage series-wired array - if that is even feasible (not sure).
Bottom line: the high energy electron (faux-beta decay)is enough to keep
the battery array charged, even as it is supplying amperage to a load.
Now - I was checking just now to see how much this is going to cost me
to prove that it most likely will not work ;-)
There are inexpensive small Sealed-Lead-Acid (SLA) batteries in the 5
amp/hr range (6 volt) available from China. These weigh about 6 pounds
each and cost about $11 in bulk. You would need a bulk purchase of them
for this- no problem there.
A guesstimate is that EVOs, if they can be formed in the battery acid,
which is highly questionable, but if so - the minimum voltage needed
would be in the range of 1000 volts. For a margin above that, then 200
units of the battery above would cost ~ $2,500 with shipping and taxes.
The circuitry involved to create a "musical chairs" type of circulating
load gap would be a nightmare. But for that, I will try to recruit a
trained EE, who is also a wealthy dedicated free energy advocate, like
Terry Blanton for instance ;-) to do the work for less than the
"brotherhood" (IBEW) would charge. That is, as soon as he cashes-in his
founders stock in another high-flying free-energy venture.
A few "large" as they say in Joisey... Bargain ... or boondoggle?
