Graphene-based fuel-free power generation will change the energy industry

Developers of graphene power generation announce the finalization of work before the start of serial industrial production of fuel-free sources of electricity for a wide range of purposes.

The importance of any applied discovery is determined by its implementation in production and the release of products based on this discovery. The history of mankind knows many examples when the most important inventions and discoveries were never appreciated by their contemporaries. Only after decades had passed since the death of the inventor, subsequent generations realized in their understanding the fact of how much time humanity had lost in its development. Sometimes this awareness came even almost centuries later, and such processes especially concerned such areas of the most important for the economy as transport and energy. You don’t have to look far for an example if you consider the discoveries of Nikola Tesla. If his inventions had gone into production, then now we would be driving cars that do not require fuel, and would consume electricity from the surrounding space. Unfortunately, all these inventions did not go beyond his laboratory. Almost 100 years later, mankind came to the need to develop fuel-free technologies in the field of energy and transport, and the present period is only the beginning of a long and difficult path. New fuel-free technologies have yet to take their share of the market, and this is not only an economic task, but also a political one. In the modern world, politics and economics are a single whole, and it is not known which determines the vector of development more.

In the overwhelming majority of cases, technologies invented in laboratory conditions are not suitable for industrial production. For example, only in 2010 was the Nobel Prize in Physics awarded for the discovery of graphene and the study of its properties, while graphene was obtained using scotch tape. The first power-generating plates, invented by scientists at Neutrino Energy Group, were A-4 sized metal foil with alternating layers of graphene and doped silicon applied to it, and were also made by hand. Because of this, the cost of one such plate reached 25 thousand euros. Pre-industrial samples of a fuel-free power source with a net capacity of 5-6 kW were already manufactured using chemical vapor deposition technology. This technology is relatively inexpensive, but the production productivity when using it is not acceptable.

The developer and patent holder of graphene power generation, Neutrino Energy Group, headed by President Holger Thorsten Schubart, managed to find a method for applying single-atom layers of graphene, silicon and alloying elements with a productivity of about 10 m2/sec (https://gaia-energy.org/docs/video/bereich-energie-technologie/waver-beschichtung-industriell.mp4) together with contractors. This is a more expensive method, requiring high-tech and expensive equipment, but the quality of the layers turned out to be higher than the deposition method. In addition, the method used for applying single-atom layers allows them to be applied to a large surface, which is very important for the creation of fuel-free electric transport, including water transport, and fuel-free sources of electricity, especially high-power ones to meet the needs of industrial facilities. The prospects of the innovative technology of power generation are so impressive that even at the stage of industrial implementation, the largest companies in the world are showing serious interest in it. Shareholders receive offers to buy out the controlling stake, which contradicts the concept of maintaining the company's independence from the influence of large controlling shareholders. The company's business concept primarily involves selling licenses for the production of fuel-free electric power sources created using Neutrinovoltaic technology.

Why is Neutrinovoltaic technology of such interest despite the fact that there are dozens of developments of various fuel-free power generation schemes?

Popularization of the development is of great importance. The company's president, Holger Thorsten Schubart, pays close attention to explaining the basics of Neutrinovoltaic technology and its universal qualities in the media and scientific conferences. To date, this is the only known technology that allows you to create an autonomous electric car that does not need charging from external sources. The absence of rotating parts, simplicity and reliability of operation fully correspond to the principle that the simpler the better. It is already possible to confidently predict that distributed power generation based on small fuel-free sources of electricity Neutrino Power Cubes will make a number of low-power power plants unprofitable and unnecessary, including the work being carried out in the world to create low-power nuclear units.

Neutrino Energy Group has managed to accumulate significant financial resources, involved leading scientists from all over the world in the work, as well as a number of the most authoritative scientific centers dealing with neutrinos and neutrino technologies, which allows for a global expansion of the possibilities for applying the company's developments in various areas of industry.

The world has entered a period of technological confrontation. According to Holger Thorsten Schubart, countries that are able to promptly assess and be the first to implement advanced technologies will determine their progressive future for decades to come, and graphene fuel-free power generation technology is undoubtedly at the top of this list.
