Leads for review

1. The inventor's own work

• Book "Harnessing Cosmic Energy" (NuEnergy, Nov 2002, ISBN 1-930216-01-7, 103 pp.) has chapters "Alpha Fusion", "Ion-Valve Converter Technology Explained", "My Radiant Energy Research (... how to obtain author's radon emissive material)" and a "Proof of Concept" diagram — the inventor's fullest pre-patent account of claims 1-3 and 5 [web: https://www.teslatech.info/ttstore/books/480002.htm]. Obtain a copy.
• 1998 article, Exotic Research Report V2N2: earliest dated statement found that "a truly unique nuclear reaction can be converted to electrical power through alpha fission and thermoelectric effects"; also claims a cosmic-ray motive device and Tesla/Moray lineage [web: https://www.teslatech.info/ttstore/report/articles/v2n2art/radiant.htm]. Caution for reviewers: the first-person cosmic-ray paragraphs closely follow statements attributed to Tesla (1930s press) [memory, medium] without quotation marks. Bears on claims 1, 3, 5.
• 2014 "Moray Direct Conversion Radiation Valve" final report: source changed to a low-energy gamma emitter with doped semiconductor "charge multiplication"; cascaded tuned stages; concludes that in Moray's device "it was the circuitry, not the valve" that produced the power [web: Wayback radioionics.com]. Bears on claim 5 and on the energy source in claims 2-3.
• "Radon Gas is the Ultimate Fuel" (26 pp., radioionics.com, captured Jan 2023): proprietary process to release radon from U/Th ores to fuel the "alpha particle ion valve"; energy-per-gram figures (as printed: 1.5e9 cal/g "translates into 5,944 BTUs per gram" — unit step to check); radon collection on a wire at −1000 V. Only pp.1-2 read. Bears on claims 1-3. HIGH PRIORITY.
• 2018 "Perreault Plasma Valve" and "Perreault Plasma Battery" (Fe cathode, Pb or PbO anode, atmospheric ions or oxygen plasma, step-down to 12 V); withholds "proprietary cathode and anode" [web]. Bears on claims 2-4 (the inventor's later direction).
• Patent record: US only; assignee individual; lapsed 2014-09-21 for unpaid maintenance fee [web: Google Patents]. Bears on the historical record of claim 2.
• About 30 unread PDFs on radioionics.com (Wayback), including "HF-box-lab-tests.pdf" (possible test data), "Ion Valves v1.3", "moray-valve-manuscript", "NUCLEAR ELECTRET BATTERY", "PLASMA BATTERY IS RESTRICTED", full-disclosure editions 2019.
• Groups.io "radioionics" group (2021-2022 posts by Perreault).

2. Supporting information by others

• Reginald Jaynes, Ph.D. E.E., "Calculations for 'Alpha Fusion Electrical Energy Valve'" (hosted by the inventor): reproduces the 6.06 MeV figure as the Ge-72(alpha,n)Se-75 mass balance, lists alpha emitters above it, and concludes the reactions give "a substantial amount of energy"; no rates or yields. Note: the printed Se-75 rest energy does not reproduce his result; the standard Q is −6.06 MeV and the threshold including recoil is about 6.40 MeV [calc]. Bears on claims 1, 6. Who Jaynes is is unknown.
• Abbood & Ebrahiem (2020, Ibn Al-Haitham J. 33(1):31-39) cite the patent and compute alpha-induced cross sections on Ge isotopes from evaluated data libraries; their numbers would give the reaction rate needed to test claim 2's power [web]. Read next run.
• Builders: Energetic Forum 2017 "Perreault Plasma Valve Stage 1 Disclosure" (Fe/Al build); groups.io threads by Zack Widup (2020) and Luke Hyde (2020 new book). No measurements seen yet.
• 1999 tape page: publisher's account that "tests and experiments" in remote areas "confirm that radiant energy devices operate on a self-sustaining method", and that a "star-mode" discharge appeared between electrodes coated with rediscovered Moray material (with Calvin Bahlmann; photos credited to International High Technology). Interested-party statements; no data on the page [web].

3. Closely related work

• NASA Langley "Nuclear Thermionic Avalanche Cell" (NTAC; Sang H. Choi et al., patents 2015-2019; NASA TM-20220019348; AIAA 2022-1911; Bushnell 2021): radiation-released inner-shell electron avalanche as a power source; nine NASA patents cite US7800286. Closest mainstream-institution analogue to the patent's "delta-ray" secondary-electron cathode [web: Google Patents and Google results]. Check NTAC's measured power claims.
• CN113539542B (PLA Rocket Force University of Engineering, 2021/2024): radon-enrichment alpha nuclear battery using ambient mine radon; cites US7800286 [web]. Shares claim 2's fuel idea.
• Robert W. Moses, US20220108814A1 (2020): surface flashover electron multiplication for nuclear avalanche cells; cites the patent.
• David Weber, US20100062288A1 (2005): electricity from isotopic electron emission.
• Earlier art listed by Google as similar: US2517120A and US2527945A (1950), Linder et al. 1952 "The use of radioactive material for the generation of high voltage", Windle 1964 microwatt converters.
• Perreault's own 2018 list of "plasma field discharge" devices: Coler, Hendershot, Hubbard, Moray, Plauson (US 1,540,998), Prentice (CA 253,765), Britten (US 1,826,727), Chernetski, Correa, Gray (US 3,890,548; 4,595,975; 4,661,747). Bears on claims 4-5.
• Don Smith's 2004 e-mails to Perreault (tritium battery, high voltage, open negative capacitor, earth ground) [web: archive.org]. Bears on claim 5's antenna/earth circuit context.

4. Historical record

• Organisations: Nu Energy Horizons (PO Box 22, Rumney NH, 1998; "Nu Energy Horizons, Inc", 9 Joffre St, Concord NH, 1999); NuEnergy (publisher, 2002); SonoMagnetics Alternative Energy Research Trust, Dorchester NH [read: leaflet]; Alpha Fusion Energy Corporation (website launch Dec 2012, Proposal PDF never captured); Radioionics (site 2016-2024, now dead). OpenCorporates finds no record of Nu Energy Horizons (NH) or Alpha Fusion Energy. Absence-of-evidence: a corporation announced in 2012 with a "Proposal" leaves no captured content and no registry hit; competing explanations (unregistered trade name; abandoned launch; content withdrawn) to be decided by the NH QuickStart register.
• Perreault organised the "Inventors Weekend" events (2001 at La Quinta Inn per a 2003 ebook; 2003-2005 per Don Smith material; his son filmed 2005) [web: snippets and archive.org].
• Patent abandoned at first maintenance fee (2014); the inventor's public work after 2014 moves to gamma/charge multiplication (2014), plasma valve/atmospheric ions (2018) and electrets (2022).
• Google showed legal-removal notices (Lumen) on a Perreault/Bahlmann query; content of removed results unknown.
