ELECTRIC ENERGY GENERATION APPARATUS AND PROCESS UTILISING THE ENERGY FROM MUON DECAY (MUONIC ELECTROMAGNETIC GENERATOR)

摘要

The present application claims an invention patent for an electric energy generation process involving the capture of electrons from muon decay, which electrons are guided into electric wires and transformed into energy. Moreover, the present application claims a patent to an apparatus capable of generating electric energy from this process, called muonic electromagnetic generator, which comprises a primary electric mains source (1) or a battery source (2) (input) connected to an inverter (3) that feeds an oscillator (4) with a frequency that is an integral multiple of the muon Compton wavelength, through a protective inductive filter (5). The oscillator terminals are connected in series to a spark gap (6) and to an outer oscillating coil (7) that generates a variable magnetic field (8) having the same frequency as the oscillator, and capable of attracting and concentrating the muons (9) from the pions that form the cosmic rays (10), wherein the muons decay (fragment) spontaneously into a large quantity of electrons (11) that are attenuated by the coil core (12) before being absorbed by the electric wires of the inner coil (13), in the form of electricity for powering any outer load (14), once it is transformed into the useful voltage. An electro-mechanical use of the present invention patent for increased production of energy is disclosed, with a motor (15) at the output thereof, and with a motor shaft, the end of which is firmly attached to a metallic disk. Inside the motor are located an outer rotor (17) that contains magnets (18) and a central stator (19) that contains two series of electrically independent and superimposed coils (20 and 21), the terminals (22 and 23) of which are externally connected to an electronic speed regulator (24) formed by a bipolar transistor (25), a diode (26), a rheostat (27) and a DC source (battery or rectified and filtered power source) (28) to start the motor, an inductive filter (29) protecting the muonic coil and the motor circuit by filtering out harmonics. Also claimed by the present patent application are two devices that form the muonic electromagnetic generator (apparatus), namely, (i) the muonic coil, which is capable of absorbing muons and converting them into energy, and (ii) the motor, with a design that allows a more efficient utilisation of muonic electrons for carrying out work (output power). It is evident that both low and/or high power components can be used, depending on the energy consumption requirements of the consumer. The muonic electromagnetic generator (understood as both an apparatus and a process) can be used on various industrial scales, with better benefit-cost ratios than existing generators, and without any environmental impact and radioactive emissions.
