Invisible Energy Source: New Way to Generate Current Directly from the Environment Found

Is it possible to obtain electricity from the environment without resorting to traditional sources? Scientists at Neutrino Deutschland GmbH are sure that it is. Their research has shown that graphene is capable of generating electric current under the influence of neutrinos and other radiation.

This discovery led to the creation of the innovative Neutrinovoltaic technology — a source of direct current that works due to quantum fluctuations.

Graphene: secrets of the structure and unexpected properties

Graphene is a two-dimensional allotropic form of carbon, which is a layer of atoms only one atom thick. However, this material is never completely flat: at the atomic level, it constantly vibrates, creating so-called "graphene waves".

Physicists from the University of Manchester, led by Paul Thibado, discovered that these vibrations obey special patterns known as "Lévy jumps". Studying them, scientists suggested that these vibrations can be used to generate electricity.

When electrodes are placed on both sides of such a graphene film, it begins to generate current. According to calculations, an area of ​​10x10 microns can produce up to 10 microwatts of energy. These are not yet industrial indicators, but the very fact of obtaining current proves the promise of the idea.

Neutrinovoltaic technology: how it works

The company Neutrino Deutschland GmbH, under the leadership of Dr. Holger Thorsten Schubart, has made significant progress in the practical implementation of this technology.

Scientists have developed a nanomaterial consisting of alternating layers of graphene and silicon deposited on a metal foil. This structure allows the energy of neutrinos and other particles to be converted into electricity.

How is this possible? Passing through graphene and doped silicon, the radiation triggers a process of resonant oscillations. This effect is recorded by a converter device, which then generates direct electric current.

Industrial prospects

One of the key factors in the success of Neutrinovoltaic is the possibility of creating compact autonomous power sources. Several layers of graphene, folded together, form an energy cell. Several such cells, connected in series, form a full-fledged generator. For example, a device the size of a briefcase is already capable of producing 4.5-5.5 kW/h.

This approach opens up enormous prospects:

• Autonomous energy systems for homes.

• Built-in power supplies for household appliances.

• Innovative solutions for electric vehicles.

Scientific confirmation

The importance of neutrinos in the process of generating electricity is confirmed by the data of the COHERENT research conducted at the Oak Ridge Laboratory (USA). It was proven that neutrinos interact with the atoms of matter, causing them to oscillate. This once again confirms the potential of Neutrinovoltaic as a real energy source.

An environmentally friendly future without wires

Graphene energy opens up new horizons. The possibility of obtaining electricity from the environment without harmful emissions and complex infrastructure solutions can become a revolution in the global energy sector. Neutrino Deutschland GmbH has taken the first step towards this future, showing that science fiction is becoming reality.

Clarifications

Graphene is a two-dimensional allotropic modification of carbon, formed by a layer of carbon atoms one atom thick. The carbon atoms are in sp2 hybridization and are connected by σ- and π-bonds into a hexagonal two-dimensional crystal lattice.
