Direct Conversion of Coherent Quantum Fluctuations into Electric Energy
Concerning its basic construction, the Reid-Cell is related to a capacitor. Reid-Cells contain a solid polycrystalline silicate instead of a typical electrolyte. The Reid-Cell exhibits an entirely novel mode of generating electric energy. Here the statement “entirely novel mode” has to be taken literally.
The emission free Reid-Cell can generate a direct electric current over an unknown period of time (since 1999). Within the Reid-Cell processes play a role, which are similar to a hydropower plant. Just like a hydropower plant draws its energy from the flow of water the Reid-Cell draws its energy from an external source of energy. Our hypothesis suggests that the generated electrical energy is mainly integrated from the quantum vacuum (space-time structure) via the quantum critical behaviour of water molecules at room temperature.
„In ‚Nuclear quantum effects and hydrogen bond fluctuations in water,‘ we show, using state-of-the-art techniques that allow for quantum mechanical effects in the motion of the electrons and nuclei, that room-temperature water is not simply a molecular liquid; its protons experience wild excursions along the hydrogen bond (HB) network driven by quantum fluctuations, which result in an unexpectedly large probability of transient autoionization events“ (Ceriotti, Cuny, Parrinello, & Manolopoulos, 2013, University of Oxford and University of California, Berkeley, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1308560110).
