Philip seems to be having a ball in California, lets hope he is still happy at Christmas.

Elisha,
how do you calculate 10X less costs when the first market price of the quenco device will be near 500US$/KW ?

I think she may have meant that when Quenco becomes common as the energy source in transportation that costs for shipping will be a small fraction of what they are now.  There is a saying amoung big truckers - everything gets there by trucking.  It would be difficult to find anything in retail that is not on a big rig at some point between manufacture and end point customer.  The biggest expense in trucking is fuel.  At today's prices it can easily cost $1000.00 or more to fill up a big rig.  That will get you about 1500 miles for an average truck.  What happens when that expense goes to ZERO after the initial investment?    Same for things that must move by aircraft but aircraft fuel is even more expensive.   If Quenco can be adopted to big rigs early adopters will be able to undercut other truckers rates so it could be a fairly fast changeover to Quenco powered trucks.   I recall Cabover style trucks being by far the most common style in the 80's but when fuel prices started jumping up and Conventional style cabs got 1/2 to 1 mile per gallon better fuel mileage Cabover trucks disappeared rather quickly for just a slightly more fuel efficient design.   It is very rare now to see a Cabover style truck now unless it's just a local runner that doesn't go at highway speeds where the aerodynamics make much less difference.   So I can imagine a fairly fast change over in transportation of goods.

I think that many of you are jumping the gun with respect to Quentron.  Normally extracting energy from heat requires two thermal stores that are at different temperatures.  I believe the claim here is that heat itself is converted to electricity without the need for a temperature differential.  There are many follow-up questions that arise from that.

And the claims are quite fantastic with respect to the energy density.  If you have a very high energy density then you need to have a lot of heat to supply to the device, which might not be that easy.  So even if the device actually worked, would a big truck be able to get a continuous flow of heat from the environment to keep it rolling at 120 kmh?  I am not so sure that it would.

We will see if a first wafer ever comes off of a production line in a semiconductor fab and if there are positive results to demonstrate to the world.

Hello e2matrix,
"Elisha" is an "he" ,a bollvarian male !

Quenco will save money,investment-high dependant but not 10 times less !
The trucks need -quenco as energy source-an electric drive and other changes.

Gasoil for trucks is worlwide also cheaper than common gasoil and some years before I heared from a liquid fuel saver producer that -in reality- there has not been a great interest in gasoil savings.

Average  truck numbers: 150.000 Km per annum and 35.000 Lt. gasoil consume

Hi All,


On the Theory page at

www.quentron.com/theory.html


I have posted some extracts from the full PCT patent that was filed earlier this week. Please note the diagram shows electrons as though they were in a vacuum but remember that in quenco they tunnel and so there actually are only an entry and exit point, but the resultant transform in kinetic energy to potential energy is the same.


I will not post all the patent as modifications may be made after the patent examiners look at it, for example if they object to some wording, but for now those with a reasonable understanding of physics will see how this works as a concept. Of course there are 31 other pages with details of how to build and the materials used therein, but they will not be published until about mid 2013 when the full patent is published by the patent office as an open document.


I have met many interesting and helpful professionals at Stanford, I am working closely with many experts and without exception it is a wonderful place to do physics, and wow............. the labs are simply amazing. Production will not actually get under way until Nov 1 for internal cost reasons but we are hopeful we will have finished a batch of distributable samples well before the launch.


I will drop in here and update you in a few weeks time when we have access to the tools.
