Subject: Diode Array energy invention

I was granted U.S. Patent 3890161 in 1973, which is now public property, for a chip that typically consists of billions of nanometer scale diodes in consistent alignment parallel or, for higher voltage, parallel series to rectify and aggregate nano watt level internal radio frequency thermal noise (also known as Johnson noise) within electronic components (not involving antennas) into D.C. electricity. A 2.3 um scale prototype indicated feasibility in 1993 but the records are poor.

If this works, future appliances would get all the energy they were designed for from heat in surrounding air or water. This energy would be clean, cheap, widely available, safe, quiet, reliable, and not emit greenhouse gas. Small appliances would work cordlessly anywhere in the world out of the box. This means that people can increase their capabilities incrementally with small appliances in regions without a power grid. Farm irrigation small pumps can be set out without wiring. Furthermore, air conditioning would release electricity instead of consuming it, which is basically more sensible. Food and medicine could be kept cold reliably in stand alone refrigerators without energy expense if portable or paying a little if connected to a power network. Farmers could store their harvest cheaply. Grocery store operators could also sell electricity. Most people would live better on their income. Many kinds of electric vehicles would become practical. These vehicles would be clean enough to run in confined spaces. Vehicles would obtain their energy as they moved so energy storage is not needed. Diode arrays in computers with minor inputs and outputs would recycle the heat from the operating chips so the system would not release heat or need external power while using lots of high power high speed logic.

I want this to be commercialized without fussy licensing restrictions on the diode array or its applications so all humanity can be involved in its synergistic development. NDA's and noncompete requirements are not in this spirit.

First, a prototype development group with great team strength needs to emerge. Later, many application development groups should emerge. Micro angel capitalization is the cleanest form of financing. A smooth, free, and fair market should support useful applications using commodity chips made by commodity equipment.

New applications developers would recover their specific research and development costs with a modest positioning premium on their price.
