Genesys, LLC has demonstrated a working prototype generating up to 40 Kilowatts from one standard solar panel with certified third-party validation along with being granted a US Patent

Palo Alto, CA, June 5, 2018 – Genesys, LLC announces today that they received a US Patent for its solar amplifier that can generate very high electrical power in the multiple kilowatt range and run for 24/7 service using only one standard solar panel (200W).

The Sun provides a thousand, billion, billion photons every second for every square meter at the Earth’s surface. Even on rainy days, the photon count is astronomical. A typical solar photon possesses a little more than one electron-volt of potential energy (one electron-volt = one volt on one electron). The eRET™ (electrical Radiant Energy Transfer) captures these photons and stores them as potential energy (voltage). Accumulated together, very high potential energy (high voltage) can be stored. Conventional batteries store electrical energy in the form of chemical bonds. Batteries possess many disadvantages. Their low energy density coupled with their limited reusability cannot economically supply the high-power needs of the market. Genesys’ eRET technology provides high power on demand with its potential energy storage device. High electrical powers are generated using the eRET’s super convective current generator that relies on a reservoir of high energy charges generated from the conversion of solar photons to electrons. The generated electrons form a high-speed current whose energy carrying capability far exceeds anything an equivalent copper wire can achieve. As a by-product of the accelerating electrons, electromagnetic radiation in the form of waves are created which can be tailored to selective frequencies in order to perform different functions such as telecommunications or chemistry. The electromagnetic wave that is produced can be manipulated to crack water vapor because water vapor possesses certain frequencies that absorb energy to a high degree, leading to the breakdown to hydrogen and oxygen. Using the eRET, nearly all commercial chemicals from petroleum or other fossil sources can be produced using hydrogen, which is a product of the eRET, and carbon dioxide.

The eRET has routinely and reproducibly generated multiple kilowatts of power over a multi-year development and testing program and verified by certified third-party validation. The technology is capable of scaling and can be applied to multiple applications whenever economic 24/7 reliable remote power is needed. Since the energy is stored in the form of high voltage electrons, large quantities of electrical power can be generated on demand.

Principles of the eRET Technology

The eRET employs its high speed, extremely low resistance, high energy electron current to generate very high powers. The eRET generates electric currents using a cascade process rather than the induction process commonly used to generate an electric current in copper wires.

A certified third party has validated Genesys’ claims of generating an electric current with immeasurably small resistance, removing a significant barrier to higher power generation.

The eRET converts the flow of the low energy electrons supplied from the solar panel into high energy electrons. In the transformation process, where some of the energy is used, enough high energy electrons are left to fulfill the requirements for high power generation. The speed of the electrons has been clocked at 20% of the speed of light.

First Commercial Product

The first commercial product will be able to produce 20KW of power, 24 hours a day, using only one standard 200-watt solar panel. At night, a small hydrogen fuel cell is employed to power the eRET’s power supply which delivers the high potential energy to the eRET’s super convective current generator. The eRET power supply needs less than 100 watts to operate, alleviating the need for using and storing large volumes of hydrogen. A typical home will require less than 50 grams of hydrogen to run at night. A metal hydride storage system is part of the eRET to store the hydrogen for night time use. The volume of the metal hydride container system is approximately the size of three one-liter sized soda bottles which can be conveniently stored in a very small space. The metal hydride storage system is a proven technology that is commercially available. The system will be able to generate direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) without the need for an inverter. The entire system is about the size of a large microwave oven. The price of a 24/7 eRET single power system in large scale production is forecasted to be in the range of a standard house furnace system. Cost-wise, the eRET system promises to be a much cheaper, eco-friendly, long-term alternative to grid based technologies for the average consumer.

The eRET has Multiple Applications

Other applications include self-charging cars without the need for lithium-ion batteries, drones that never need refueling and the enabling of off-grid electrical power technology. Installing an eRET system in an automobile will eliminate the need for lithium ion batteries altogether at a fraction of the space, weight and cost. In addition, because the water needed to produce the hydrogen is recycled through the system, the car would have an infinite driving range without the need for any refueling. The infrastructure for charging or filling your car is eliminated. The initial commercial product could be implemented as the power plant for a drone. It can create enough lift to carry a payload of 100 kilograms (220 pounds) with an infinite range. Applications include drone delivery for most consumer products, delivery of medicines to remote regions, rescue, as well as surveillance.

Future applications include waste treatment using oxygen (a by-product of the eRET technology) as a source to produce ozone. Other chemicals used in waste treatment such as hydrogen peroxide can be produced on site.

Patent Awarded

In an extensive patent and scientific literature search, the US patent office and the international examiner could not find any similarities to this invention resulting in an allowance of the patent with very strong claims. Michael North, a senior partner of North, Weber & Baugh, LLP, a patent law firm in the heart of Silicon Valley located in Palo Alto, that successfully prosecuted the patent to allowance has said, “It is always reassuring when an Examiner is unable to identify strong prior art that can significantly limit the scope of a patent, which speaks to the underlying innovation behind the invention described in the application.” With respect to the uniqueness of the invention, Mr. North further stated, “[It]... will likely make it difficult for third-parties to design around the claims in any attempt to develop directly competing products”. The company has also filed patent applications globally.

Commercialization

The company is open to multiple types of business arrangements and welcomes additional, certified, qualified, third-party validation of its technology as part of any business agreement.

The eRET™ (Electrical Radiant Energy Transfer) technology to be announced at the Fuel Cell Seminar and Energy Exposition in Los Angeles on November 12, 2014 can simultaneously produce power and store its energy in the form of hydrogen at a price point well below all fossil fuel and renewable energy sources

Palo Alto, California

Ronny Bar-Gadda, CEO of Genesys, LLC, www.genesys.co will unveil at the Fuel Cell Seminar and Energy Exposition on November, 12, 2014 in Los Angeles, a new revolutionary patent pending solar technology that increases the power of a solar panel by 200 times, while simultaneously storing the energy in the form of hydrogen for later use. Conventional solar technology lacks two important features that prevent it from effectively competing against fossil fuels; namely, the ability to generate higher power and the inability to store the resulting energy. Today’s solar cells are limited to the leakage current at the contact potential of the p-n junction. The eRET solves both problems.

An electron has both wavelike and particle properties. This new technology uses both properties of the electron to generate coherent electromagnetic radiation tuned to water vapor and electrical power at the same time. The water vapor may come from any source, including rain, sea or waste. The p-n junction of a solar cell is used as the energy source which is recharged by the sun at rates faster than the energy transfer rate to the eRET.

The eRET generates electrons at very high potential so that very high power is produced with minimal electron energy input. Genesys,LLC has a working prototype routinely producing 10 kilowatts from two 100 watt solar panels with over one and a half years of operating experience. The system has produced power as high as 40 kilowatts.

The coherent electromagnetic radiation produced as a by-product is used to break the OH bond of a water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen is stored for future use and the oxygen may be sold as an important industrial chemical. The eRET is the only technology today that stores its own energy (hydrogen) simultaneously while producing power, thereby providing a solution for electrical energy storage. The economics are very favorable. Power costs as low as $0.02 per kilowatt hour and less than $0.80 per kilogram of hydrogen are ultimately achievable.

There are multiple applications for the eRET. It enables the realization of a self-charging car that doesn’t need a recharging station. Future versions of the eRET will eliminate the use of lithium-ion batteries altogether for mobile transportation applications, thereby substantially reducing the cost of an electric car. Zero emission data centers may operate at a fraction of the operating cost compared to fossil fuels without any carbon dioxide emission. Most agree that decentralization of power distribution is a worthwhile goal; the eRET makes the realization of micro-grids as a practical method of power distribution possible. With economic hydrogen, the production of industrial and agricultural chemicals (previously derived from fossil fuels) is possible using carbon dioxide as a co-reactant permitting economic sequestration of carbon. The eRET is an ideal technology to mitigate the effects of climate change.

As the company’s CEO states, “We are at the threshold of a new energy age. The eRET will lead to lower energy costs compared to all fossil fuels and renewable energy sources without the problem of CO2 emission”.

San Jose — Genesys, LLC announces an historic breakthrough in energy technology with the granting of a patent (U.S. 7,384,619), assigned to Bar-Gadda, LLC and licensed to Genesys, LLC that will have the potential of eliminating global warming, providing energy security as well as permitting the economic production of hydrogen from any source of water. Water has the highest concentration of hydrogen of any known stable non-carbon substance. This unique technology, called RET (radiant energy transfer), needs only moderate heat and water to generate fuel grade hydrogen. Sources of heat include geothermal, solar and biomass. RET can also be powered from electrical sources such as hydroelectric or wind.

About the Technology:

The RET technology has been under development for nearly seven years. Genesys, LLC is presently in commercial development. The company intends to be a supplier of renewable hydrogen to the market. This is the first commercially viable technology to produce hydrogen from water since the advent of electrolysis more than 175 years ago. The principle of the technology relies on the unique properties of the oxygen-hydrogen bond. By using electromagnetic radiation tuned to the OH bond energy it is possible to break the bond with a minimum amount of energy. The rate of hydrogen production using this technology far exceeds that of electrolytic processes. RET is a continuous process technology that also operates at room temperature. RET is modular and easily scaleable as well as carbon neutral. As a result of this revolutionary approach, RET modules may be added or subtracted very quickly to respond to changes in hydrogen demand. The company has a demonstration minipilot plant producing hydrogen and oxygen. On October 21, 2009, the company filled and floated its first hydrogen balloon using the patented RET (radiant energy transfer) technology and proprietary hydrogen separation system. This innovative hydrogen separation system, developed by the company, is capable of adjusting hydrogen purity levels in real time, thus meeting different customer requirements. This element of versatility does not exist in the energy industry today.

In a live demonstration of the RET technology, Mayor Darren Cordova of Taos, New Mexico said, “I foresee great success in the future of your technology. I also predict that it will (RET) reduce global warming, generate new jobs, and increase our energy security”. After the demonstration, the Mayor further stated, “We look forward to making the Town of Taos and the State of New Mexico the first to benefit from your revolutionary invention.”

Geothermal Heat is a Vast Resource for RET:

Geothermal heat is plentiful, renewable and non-polluting. It can be used to generate hydrogen from water using this technology. The U.S. has enough geothermal heat to be equivalent to 60,000 times the energy consumption today. The RET can operate using low grade heat (<100 C) so that expensive drilling for high temperature geothermal reservoirs are unnecessary. In that mode, water (sea or waste) is injected down the well and steam is created at the bottom that is used to generate both hydrogen and electricity. The electricity is used to assist the RET process and the hydrogen is generated from the waste steam as it exhausts from the turbine. The capital costs are envisioned to be much smaller than electrolysis process equipment. The RET process, using waste heat, can generate its own electricity whereas electrolysis must obtain electrical energy to operate from external sources (many of which originate with fossil fuels).

Retrofitting Abandoned Oil Wells:

Another large potential source of geothermal heat is the retrofitting of abandoned oil wells. There are approximately 350,000 abandoned oil wells in the United States alone. Old oil fields may be recycled to generate hydrogen in large quantities without the need to drill new geothermal wells. The RET technology needs only a small fraction of that to satisfy all of the U.S. energy needs for the foreseeable future.

B.B. Blevins, former Executive Director of the California Energy Commission and a member of Governor Schwarzenegger’s first Climate Action Team stated, “Geothermal energy and heat from abandoned oil wells represent a substantial resource that the RET technology can tap to produce commercial quantities of hydrogen. This can have a major positive impact on California’s clean energy needs for the future.”

Retrofitting Existing Power Plants:

The technology can be retrofitted on the exhaust of a steam turbine to provide both electricity and hydrogen. Waste steam is commonly condensed in power plants and the energy contained in it is removed, accounting for more than half of the original energy lost. By applying this technology to a conventional power plant, it is possible to increase the efficiency of a power plant by generating hydrogen from the waste steam, thereby utilizing almost all of the original energy of the steam. Generating hydrogen using RET is more efficient and cost effective than producing only electricity using conventional power technology. RET produces no emissions, so it is environmentally benign.

Hal LaFlash, Director of Renewable Energy Policy and Planning at PG&E, a major utility company located in Northern California, said, “When your project (Genesys, LLC) is ready for larger-scale demonstration … we would like to explore the possibility of demonstrating the technology at one of PG&E’s generation facilities where the technology could be coupled with waste steam resources.”

Waste Treatment Plants as Profit Centers:

The company recently produced hydrogen from wastewater obtained from a municipal waste treatment plant. Municipal waste treatment plants may operate as profit centers in the future using the RET technology. Landfills may also be eliminated under this scenario. The solid waste from both waste treatment plants and landfills may be used as a source of energy to produce hydrogen using RET.

Winston Hickox has stated, “as the former Secretary of the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA), I can readily appreciate the potential of this technology with respect to our efforts to address the critical environmental issues of the day”. He also said, “The fact that you can also convert wastewater to hydrogen has additional major implications for the environment.”

RET Can Replace all Existing Fossil Fuels:

A RET hydrogen processing plant can be established near the customer. Thus, a transition to a carbon neutral hydrogen economy can be realized with the existing infrastructure. RET is a flexible technology that can be located in and about urban areas in order to reduce the cost of transporting hydrogen.

Mr. Ronny Bar-Gadda, the CEO of Genesys, LLC has stated, “In an age of global warming and peak oil, it is important to find a renewable resource that is plentiful and economic without damaging the environment. Water fits that criteria. Water, like oil and coal, needs to be refined in order to convert it to a useful energy source. RET has established that.”

Genesys, LLC is pleased to report it has reached an historic milestone in energy technology. On October 21, 2009 at about 6:37 p.m. PST, the company filled and floated its first hydrogen balloon using the patented RET (radiant energy transfer) technology, which can convert any form of water into pure hydrogen and oxygen. This unique technology uses various selected frequencies of electromagnetic radiation in order to optimize the breaking of the oxygen/hydrogen bond in an energy efficient manner. The products of the decomposition are then separated using a proprietary separation technology into two streams of hydrogen and oxygen. In this demonstration the hydrogen generated from tap water filled a one and a half foot diameter balloon to show the practicality of the process and the purity of the hydrogen produced. This revolutionary, low cost method can run on a continuous basis and uses waste heat and any form of water to produce pure hydrogen and oxygen. The technology is modular and easily scaled, and can use any form of water, such as wastewater, seawater or tap water. The company recently produced hydrogen from wastewater obtained from a municipal waste treatment plant. In order to drive the process, any form of waste heat that is readily available can be used. Given the abundance of solar and geothermal heat, it is possible to have an infinite source of hydrogen. This enables the solution of two major issues facing mankind: peak oil and global warming. Since hydrogen can be produced anywhere using the RET, costs of production, transportation and storage of hydrogen are minimized, resulting in economics that are very competitive with fossil fuels. The process does not use carbon and the hydrogen generated can be used as an energy source; water being the only product, so that it is completely compatible with natural environmental cycles. Ronny Bar-Gadda, the CEO and inventor said,

”I can understand the elation the Wright brothers felt on their first flight at Kitty Hawk or when Thomas Edison first switched on the electric light bulb. Only future historians, with a greater perspective will be able to judge this event and technology in its rightful place. But for me, now, this represents the end of a chapter in my book of inventing and developing this technology. I have proven the technology can now be used for practical purposes. It is now upwards and onwards to develop and scale this technology for all mankind.”

The company intends to complete development and scale this technology for commercial hydrogen production. This technology is economically very competitive with existing commercial hydrogen processes such as steam methane reforming or electrolysis of water. The RET technology can also provide its own electricity to run the process which is presently impossible with water electrolysis. RET does not compete with food production like bio-fuels such as ethanol or bio-diesel, and drinking water for food production and human consumption, unlike conventional solar thermal technologies that use cooling water for electricity generation.

The above spectrogram from our quadruple mass spectrometer reads in real time the purity of the hydrogen stream coming off the RET reactor during hydrogen production from water vapor decomposition.  Although we have estimated that the purity of hydrogen is >97%, a precise purity level is difficult to read since it is beyond the scope of accuracy of the mass spectrometer.  The level of background moisture [mass = 18] is about the same as the oxygen [mass = 32].

This is an 18-inch balloon at the end of its filling cycle.  Due to high buoyancy of the 2:1 hydrogen:oxygen mixture, this balloon stays aloft for quite a time before slowly falling back to earth.

The balloons are filled with hydrogen and oxygen generated from the cracking of tap water using RET technology.  The water was at room temperature.  The RET reactor used in this experiment was less than 2 inches long and 1/4 inch in diameter.  The clocks in the picture show the amount of time elapsed from starting from an empty balloon to a filled one.
