Meyer-Mace Isotopic NMR Generator

[jan.kolar]

Unfortunately, there is no any test results available from any other experimenters. Maybe the Chech patent partners could be asked on some details...

As you can see patent 284333 is already expired in czech republic (probably in year 2008). Standard period for invention protection is 10 years. If inventor does not prolong this period then patent is no longer valid.

Patent holders besides Michel Meyer are Simona Pustejovska, Jaroslav Holy and Jana Mickova, all from Novy Jicin, CZ. I havent found any contact on them but my guess is that they were only translators. This idea is supported by fact that Simona Pustejovska published in year 2000 bachelor work with title "Podoba a fungovani francouzskych regionu" which means "State and functioning of french regions". She has been studying on Charles University in Prague, Faculty of social sciences. It can be some another Simona Pustejovska however.
Patent representative was Ing. Iva Rylkova, i found email contact on her and wrote her what she remembers from Meyer invention. She was working in patent office in Ostrava. Her job was to help inventors to apply for patent (bureaucracy). But i havent found her in actual business register of Czech republic so maybe email address is old.

Do you know something more about "nuclear magnetic resonance"?

Iva Rylkova replied me that she has no active contact to any of the inventors. Maybe if some of you live in French near Asnieres s/Oise could contact inventor. His first patent FR 2385255 is from year 1978 so if he lives is probably above fifty years old. Main problem is if he would permit to open-source his invention. Maybe that his french patents 2,385,255 & 2,680,613 are too expired. Unfortunately i dont understant french, can someone of you see website of french patent office (http://www.inpi.fr/) for this information?

Do you know something more about "nuclear magnetic resonance"?

Hi Jan,

Thanks for your excellent "detective" work on the Chech patent, and it sounds reasonable the Chech "inventors" may have been translators. It is a pity that the patent representative cannot help either.

Unfortunately I do not speak French either and hopefully some French members here may locate Meyer in France, it would a great help to learn some insider info...   

In the meantime I understood that neutron particles have surely a bad effect on living tissues sorry that I wrote the process is not harmful.

Re on your question of the nuclear magnetic resonance, now I know it only from wikipedia google searches, that is all.

Thanks,  Gyula

There are two things noteworthy on Meyer invention:
1. Direct conversion between nuclear energy and electrical energy. Nuclear power plants are using substantially more complicate system (nuclear energy -> heat -> mechanical energy -> electrical energy)

2. Controlling of radioactive processes by aplied electro-magnetic fields. I have found another patents referenced from FR2,680,613 (on espacenet.com) that claim to be using this core principle:

a) GB 763,062. UTILIZING ENERGY OF RADIOACTIVE SUBSTANCES. COLMAN, H. V., and GILLESPIE, R. W. D. SEDDON-. Sept. 22, 1954 [June 22, 1953], No. 17167/53. Drawings to Specification. Class 39(4). A mixture of salts of cadmium, phosphorus and cobalt is subjected to high frequency electromagnetic waves so as to become radioactive and release electrical energy. The mixture is contained in a quartz tube and protection from the gamma, alpha and beta rays is given by lead shielding. The electrical output, stated to be D.C. is taken directly from the ends of the quartz tube.

b) EP 0243149 (1987-10-28) from Brown Paul M [US], Nucell Inc [US]. APPARATUS FOR DIRECT CONVERSION OF RADIOACTIVE DECAY ENERGY TO ELECTRICAL ENERGY. A nuclear battery in which the energy imparted to radioactive decay products during the spontaneous disintegrations of radioactive material is utilized to sustain and amplify the oscillations in a high-Q LC tank circuit is provided. The circuit inductance comprises a coil wound on a core composed of radioactive nuclides connected in series with the primary winding of a power transformer. The core is fabricated from a mixture of three radioactive materials which decay primarily by alpha emission and provides a greater flux of radioactive decay products than the equivalent amount of a single radioactive nuclide.

c) EP 0099946 (1984-02-08) from Reiss Howard R. [US], University Patents Inc [US]. METHOD AND APARATUS FOR INDUCED NUCLEAR BETA DECAY. Certain nuclear beta decay transitions, normally inhibited by angular momentum or parity considerations can be induced to occur by the application of an electromagnetic field. The energy released by these induced nuclear transitions is useful for the controlled production of power. These induced beta decay transitions are also useful to reduce the halflives of long-lived fission product wastes from nuclear fission power plants. Theoretical results are given for induced beta decay halflives as a function of the intensity of the applied field. The nuclides that can be treated in this way are all those found in Nature which are potentially useful energy sources, as well as <9><0>Sr and <1><3><7>Cs-- the most radioactive of fission wastes.; It is shown that electromagnetic fields of the type and intensity required to achieve useful power production and/or fission waste disposal can be produced in a practical way.

There seems that NMR is quite mastered by conventional science but only in passive way (for example to analyze structure of matter in computer tomography).
