ENERGY CONVERSION USING HIGH CHARGE DENSITY
Patent Number: 5,018,180
Date of Patent: May 21, 1991
Inventor: Kenneth R. Shoulders, (1927 - June 7, 2013) Austin, Texas
ABSTRACT
Disclosed are apparatus and method for obtaining energy from high electrical charge density entities. The energy may be received by the conductor of a traveling wave device positioned along the path which the propagating entities follow. Multiple traveling wave devices may be combined. Energy output from a traveling wave device may also be directed to the generation of a subsequent such entity. Thermal energy may also be obtained from an EV.
Kenneth Radford Shoulders was an experimental physicist and inventor. He is known for various work related to the field of energy and has also been credited as an early pioneer of electron beam lithography, which has become a key mask-making technology for modern microelectronics. He has additionally been attributed the title, ‘Father of Vacuum of Microelectronics’ and been known as a founder of microelectronic field emission devices.
