Dear Folks:
After seeing this Nano-tech forum...
Nanalyze Forums - Direct conversion of heat to electricity
http://www.nanalyze.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1006੾ I sent a post to Rodney Cox president of Borealis
http://www.powerchips.gi/ (I also asked him about Boeing's patent, and he did not reply to that. )
Could You please help me separate the wheat from the chaff?
You should also read this speech given by Rodney Cox to IBM, it will give you a chuckle, shades of "too cheap to meter"
http://www.borealis.gi/press/NEW-GOLDEN-AGE-IBM.Speech.6=04.pdf "Dear Mr. Cox,
Were you aware of this patent application? Does it conflict with your device?

And his reply:
"Erich
We know Kumar very well. He is using tips that may be 1 micron across.
He is trying very hard to work around out patents.
His device is not an 8" wafer or even a 1 cm2 wafer
He is probably 95% of Carnot at the ends of the tips he is using.
The geometry is very interesting-I suppose he is 5% of carnot for maybe 5 to 10% of the surface area if he is very lucky and very clever.
IMMHO Kumar's device just does not cut it.

And when I got home today, he called!! So now I'm getting my ducks in a row so when I call him back he won't think I'm an idiot. So if you look over his technology, and have any questions or comments that you would like to see addressed, please email me. Or, please send this on to anyone you know in the field who could provide any comments or questions. I'm so antsy, this guy is president of a multi
million dollar corporation, and I want to get it right.
I got into this doing nano-tech research, discovering and investing in Borealis. Their other technology includes Chorus Motors, an electric drive that overcomes harmonic drag, and produces 300% greater torque at an equal load. They just recently got a contract from Boeing for in the hub motors for airliner ground propulsion. And of course Power Chips and Cool Chips.
