OverviewGreen Power Generation system based on nano-scale nuclear reactions

Nano-particles catalyze nuclear reactionsEnergy from nuclear reactions used to split water (Radiolysis) and produce hydrogen gas

Eliminates downsides of traditional nuclear energyNo proliferation materialsNo runaway reactor issuesNo long-lived radiation

Patents filed and issued on localization of vibrational energyResearch supported by Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)

Seeking $2 million of financing to fund development of ICD Reactor power generator prototype

BackgroundIn 2008, Professor Arata of Osaka U. demonstrated that 5nm deuterated nano-particles have ‘incipient’ energy:

3-12 nm particles generate energy spontaneously and indefinitelyPhenomenon corroborated by VET Corp and three independent Japanese labs

VETC founders have extensive experience working with nano-particles at 3 – 12nm

Reproduced Arata’s nano-particle energy results

Vibronic Energy Technologies will:build three systems for replication at three National LabsProvisional patents cover energy amplification of nano-particles using pulses (high voltage or ultrasonic)

ICD Reactor System Concept

.Radiolysis leads to H2 gas production

High Voltage Pulses from

Coaxial Electrodes

. .

...

.

Two coaxial electrodes Heavy water containing suspended nano-particles High voltage discharges create high energy density nodes that cause nuclear reactions with deuterium nucleiRadiation from nano-scale nuclear reactions ionizes water

Radiolysis forms hydrogen and oxygen gas

Hydrogen gas is captured for use by fuel cell or other purposes

StatusEPRI has committed $150k to fund confirmation of Nanoscale energy production in an Arata format – Passive systemEPRI funds are used for widespread replication at Stanford Research Institute, MIT LL, and Naval Research Lab will corroborate findings

EPRI MilestonesVerified Arata’s experiment, showing that nano-particles produce nuclear energy ( Ahead of schedule)Assisted two Japanese Laboratories to Replicate at 5nm

ICD Milestones - Investor fundingUse high voltage pulses to create suspended nano-particlesUse high voltage discharges to fill particles with deuterium.Inverse capillary discharges focus energy into deuterated particles for positive energy gain and hydrogen gas production
