1. Reginald Jaynes, Ph.D. E.E., "Calculations for 'ALPHA FUSION ELECTRICAL ENERGY VALVE'" (2 pp., undated)
URL: https://web.archive.org/web/20170506070211/http://www.radioionics.com/pdf/calculations-for-alpha-fusion.pdf [web; read from page images] - Purpose stated: explain the nuclear-energy calculations in Perreault's patent. - Eq. 1: Ge-72 + He-4 (high-energy alpha) -> Se-75 + n. Mass-energy balance with 1 amu = 931.494 MeV, as printed: 66994.9813 MeV (Ge-72) + 3728.40068 MeV (He-4) − {70718.2914 MeV (Se-75) + 939.564464 MeV (n)} "= 6.06 MeV"; he calls the reaction endothermic, needing at least 6.06 MeV. - Arithmetic note for the reviewers (not a verdict): the printed numbers as read give −934.47 MeV, not 6.06; the printed Se-75 rest energy (70718.29 MeV, about 75.92 amu) is close to the mass of Se-76, not Se-75 (about 69789.88 MeV). With standard atomic masses (Ge-72 71.9220758, He-4 4.0026032, Se-75 74.9225224, n 1.0086649 u [memory, high]) the Q-value is −6.06 MeV, so his result matches Q, and the kinematic threshold including recoil would be about 6.40 MeV (Q x (1 + 4.0026/71.922)) [calc, .venv python]. The patent's "6.06 MeV" is therefore this Q-value. - Eqs. 2-4: Ge-76 + n -> Ge-77; Ge-77 -> As-77 + beta "(2.702 MeV max)"; As-77 -> Se-77 stable + beta "(682 MeV max)" as printed (unit as printed; the patent text gives no figure). - Eq. 5: Be-9 + alpha -> C-12 + n, "exothermic and releases 5.70 MeV". - Table of alpha energies: Th-232 series Rn-220 6.40, Po-216 6.90, Po-212 8.95, Bi-212 6.20 MeV; U-238 series Rn-222 5.59, Po-218 6.11, At-218 6.87, Rn-218 7.26, Bi-214 5.61, Po-214 7.83, Pb-210 3.79, Bi-210 5.03, Po-210 5.41 MeV. These numbers differ from the patent's (e.g. patent Po-212 8.78, Po-218 6.00, Rn-220 6.29 MeV); the table appears to give decay Q-values rather than alpha kinetic energies [memory, medium]. Note the table puts Po-218 (6.11) above the 6.06 MeV line, whereas the patent excludes Po-218 (6.00). - Conclusion: the reactions "will generate a substantial amount of energy" usable in a nuclear battery. - No cross sections, reaction rates, yields or measured power are given. - Who Jaynes is, and his relation to Perreault, is unknown (no affiliation printed). Hosted on the inventor's own site, so it is a document the inventor endorsed; stake: interested-party-hosted. Bears on: claims 1 and 6 (alpha reaction on Ge-72; printed nuclear chain).
2. Bruce A. Perreault, "Moray Direct Conversion Radiation Valve", final report 27 Dec 2014, revised 30 Dec 2014 (2 pp.)
URL: https://web.archive.org/web/20231211085135/http://www.radioionics.com/pdf/MorayDirectConversionRadiationValve(web).pdf [web] - Describes a "Moray solid state energy converter" working by "charge multiplication" in semiconductors driven by a radioactive source. The source is now "a carefully selected low energy gamma emitting radioisotope" with a doped semiconductor, not the alpha/radon scheme of the patent. - Valve contains a low-pressure inert gas ionised by the source; anode collects secondary electrons; valve coupled to a tank circuit "tuned to synchronize with the disintegrations of the radioactive source"; cascaded stages with high-capacitance oscillatory circuits, isolated to block feedback; stage 2 driven by charge of high-capacity capacitors. - Quotes Moray's research notes: "Direct Conversion, Electrical Power Cavity Resonator" and that energy is released "at a moderate rate and without fission taking place." - Conclusion (paraphrase): the Moray valve was a self-powered radioionic tube that gated atmospheric energy; the low-energy isotope acted as an "energy pump", so "it was the circuitry, not the valve, which produced the amount of electrical power reported." - Cites "Radiations from Radioactive Substances 1951" (Rutherford, Chadwick, Ellis). Bears on: claim 5 (multi-stage radioactive valves as in Moray); shows the inventor's own later view moving the power source from the nuclear reaction to the circuit and the atmosphere.
3. Bruce A. Perreault, "Perreault Plasma Valve Electrical Power Generation", 16 Feb 2018, revised 17 May 2018 (3 pp.)
URL: https://web.archive.org/web/20190322195749/http://www.radioionics.com/pdf/PERREAULT%20PLASMA%20VALVE%20ELECTRICAL%20POWER%20GENERATION-D.PDF [web] - States the PPV generates power from cosmic-ray-produced atmospheric ions. He withholds "my proprietary cathode and anode" combination, asks for a 3% royalty and credit; electronically signed 15 May 2018. - Lists related devices sharing "plasma field discharge": Hans Coler (British Government report on excess energy at opening/closing contacts), Lester Hendershot (buzzer circuit), Alfred Hubbard (pre-glow discharge, radium-soaked spark plug), T. Moray (cold-cathode discharge tube), Hermann Plauson (US 1,540,998), Frank Wyatt Prentice (Canadian patent 253,765: fifty 60-W lamps from 500 W input), Chancy Britten (US 1,826,727 ion valve; newspaper report of lighting his home in the 1930s), Alexander Chernetski (hydrogen-filled ion valve, said "up to five times more energy out"), Paulo N. Correa and Alexander N. Correa (as printed) (pulsed abnormal glow discharge patents), Edwin Gray (US 3,890,548; switching tube US 4,595,975 and 4,661,747). - PPV: iron (Fe) nail cathode, lead (Pb) upper anode; ions hit electrodes; he invokes the "sea electron model" to say dissociated metal atoms free electrons that give "amperage back to the circuit"; states P = I x E; drawing of copper/steel wires with "air as electrolyte" at 0.5 V. - "Perreault Plasma Battery" (PPB): iron cathode, lead-oxide (PbO) anode, oxygen plasma; output via step-down transformer to 12 V; oxygen "supplied from the atmosphere". - No measured power, voltage or current data given. Bears on: claims 2-3 (self-generation, output source) and 4 (vapour/plasma valve as rectifier); priority 3 related-work list.
4. "Radon Gas is the Ultimate Fuel That Holds an Enormous Amount of Energy" (26 pp.; author presumed Perreault, title page only seen)
URL: https://web.archive.org/web/20230128124533/http://www.radioionics.com/pdf/RADON%20GAS%20IS%20THE%20ULTIMATE%20FUEL.pdf [web; pp.1-2 only seen — time limit] - p.1: proposes a proprietary "atomic transmutation process" to obtain radon economically "to be used to fuel the direct conversion alpha particle ion valve", releasing radon stored in uranium or thorium ores faster than normal "which doesn't unnaturally alter the atoms". - p.2: energy figures as printed: 1 g radium evolves about 134 cal/h, total over 2,000,000,000 cal; one gram of radon "1,500,000,000 calories per gram", "translates into 5,944 BTUs per gram"; one pound "2,698,825,592 BTUs"; nuclear fuel "only 200,000,000 BTUs per pound"; radon "13.5 times more BTUs". (The cal-to-BTU step as printed should be checked by the mathematician: 1.5e9 cal is about 5.95e6 BTU [memory, high].) - p.2: a suspended wire at negative 1,000 V or more collects radon from the air enough to affect a photographic plate (the radon-on-negative-wire effect that underlies the patent's 1000 V priming). - 24 pages unread. HIGH PRIORITY for next run (full read). Bears on: claims 1-3.
