Not a "perpetual motion machine," but a new physics: how nanostructures convert radiation flows into electricity

The world is experiencing a period in which a country's position on the international stage is increasingly determined by its technological progress, not just military might. However, in today's world, it often seems that force is everything.

This is why Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed confidence at the 23rd Congress of the United Russia Party that "Russia will overcome all challenges and take the country's economy to a new technological level."

This new technological level requires a solid foundation for successful implementation. A key role in this is played by energy based on innovative generation principles, rather than the burning of fossil fuels. Solar and wind energy play a significant role in the energy transition, but they are difficult to call the basis of the energy system of the future due to their dependence on weather conditions. The future lies in diversified systems, where each source has its own niche.

It is worth noting that scientists around the world are developing new power generation technologies, focusing on fuel-free technologies.

In the history of scientific discoveries and technological advances, there are rare moments when the tone of the discussion changes dramatically. The question often begins: "Is this real?" Then it transforms into: "Why didn't we realize this sooner?" This very metamorphosis is often observed in discussions about the viability of the fuel-free neutrinovoltaic power generation technology developed by scientists at the Neutrino Energy group, led by Holger Thorsten Schubart.

For many years, scientists have been developing a technological concept that has often been distorted or misinterpreted by the public. It is important to understand that we are not talking about a mythical “perpetual motion machine” or about creating energy from nothing, but about the use of real and constant energy flows, penetrating every point of our planet.

These fluxes include neutrinos, cosmic muons, electromagnetic backgrounds, thermal vibrations, microscopic oscillatory and resonance processes in nanomaterials. The method, proposed by Holger Thorsten Schubart, demonstrates how specially designed nanostructures made of graphene and silicon are able to convert the energy of invisible spectrum particles into microscopic vibrations and then into a controlled electrical current.

Based on these achievements, Holger Thorsten Schubart derived a fundamental formula for calculating the power of Neutrinovoltaic generation based on the principles of quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics:

The formula takes into account:

• Ф_{eff} - effective flow of invisible radiation;

• σ_{eff} - effective interaction cross-section;

• η - energy absorption efficiency;

• Geometry and density of graphene and doped silicon layers;

• Resonant amplification of microvibrations;

• Electron mobility in P-N junctions.

The fundamental power formula is based on experimental data obtained in recent years from research on neutrinos and other types of radiation.

The formula explains how various energy fields of invisible radiation are converted into electrical energy using precisely engineered material architectures. It's not a closed system, but an open one, where energy is constantly supplied from the outside.

This is a paradigm shift. Traditional energy systems typically rely on fuel combustion, pressure, rotation, weather-dependent power, or large-scale centralized structures. In contrast, Neutrinovoltaic energy operates differently; it utilizes decentralized, continuous, and invisible energy flows. Neutrinovoltaic technology is based on scientifically proven effects, not hypothetical assumptions.

Neutrinovoltaic is an innovative technology that captures neutrino energy and converts it into electric current. It relies on the unique quantum transport properties of two-dimensional materials such as graphene. These materials are used to convert the momentum and energy of particles, including neutrinos and muons, which are ubiquitous in the universe, into a direct electric current suitable for direct use. Neutrinos primarily participate in coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS), while muons contribute to energy generation through ionization and Cherenkov radiation. Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEνNS) is a real, observable effect, first detected in 2017 (by the COHERENT experiment). In real neutrinovoltaic devices, CEvNS is not the only energy conversion mechanism. It works in conjunction with other vibration-driven processes, such as the piezoelectric, triboelectric, flexoelectric, and thermoelectric effects. These additional mechanisms enhance the overall conversion efficiency.

The research of Neutrino Energy Group scientists is based on a series of independent scientific studies: experimental confirmation of coherent elastic neutrino scattering by nuclei (CEVN), modern graphene and nanomaterials, advances in nonequilibrium thermodynamics, and new discoveries in resonance and transport phenomena in atomic structures.

As a result, Neutrinovoltaic power generation enables:

• Power supply regardless of time of day or weather.

• Decentralized power supply for buildings, vehicles, and artificial intelligence infrastructure.

• Power supply during widespread power grid outages.

• Reducing geopolitical energy dependence.

• Energy access even in remote regions.

• A new industrial platform based on graphene, nanotechnology, and AI-enabled material systems.

The stability of Neutrinovoltaic power generation is ensured by the rational use of energy from a variety of natural resources. This approach is fully consistent with the laws of thermodynamics and is not associated with the idea of ​​a "perpetual motion machine." The technological revolution, driven by advances in fundamental research, has already established a clear technological path and a reliable scientific foundation.
