Neutrino Power: The New Energy Promise
According to the website: Within the next 12 months, the joint venture should reach its goal of "double-five", that is, five times the power density and range at one-fifth of the production cost. Once that goal has been reached, another four years of series qualifications for the battery packs will begin. The joint venture partners want to bring the battery onto the market in 2018 or 2019 — at which point, you'll be able to get into your car without worrying about having enough power to get back home, according to the partner company's technical advisory board. Self Charging Soon, the battery will be able to charge itself — and after a certain point, completely automatically — with the neutrino cell, which works through a combination of neutrino and nanotechnology. It's powered by energy from neutrinos, electrically neutral elementary particles of very low mass that, in reactions with matter, can release enormous amounts of energy. The technology is primarily based on neutrino radiation generated by the sun; the process is completely environmentally friendly, relying neither on fossil fuels nor on nuclear power. At first, using neutrino technology to charge the battery cells takes longer than charging from an external power outlet. Nevertheless, searching for a place to plug in your electric car will soon be a thing of the past. What is a Neutrino? I thought before proceeding it might be useful to look at what a Neutron is. according to a definition from Hyper Physics: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/particles/neutrino.html The history of a particle that appeared to have no charge and no mass is an interesting one. The electron neutrino (a lepton) was first postulated in 1930 by Wolfgang Pauli to explain why the electrons in beta decay were not emitted with the full reaction energy of the nuclear transition. The apparent violation of conservation of energy and momentum was most easily avoided by postulating another particle. Enrico Fermi called the particle a neutrino and developed a theory of beta decay based on it, but it was not experimentally observed until 1956. This elusive particle, with no charge and almost no mass, could penetrate vast thicknesses of material without interaction. The mean free path of a neutrino in water would be on the order of 10x the distance from the Earth to the Sun. In the standard Big Bang model, the neutrinos left over from the creation of the universe are the most abundant particles in the universe. This remnant neutrino density is put at 100 per cubic centimeter at an effective temperature of 2K (Simpson). The background temperature for neutrinos is lower than that for the microwave background (2.7K) because the neutrino transparency point came earlier. The sun emits vast numbers of neutrinos which can pass through the earth with little or no interaction. This leads to the statement “Solar neutrinos shine down on us during the day, and shine up on us during the night!” . Bahcall’s modeling of the solar neutrino flux led to the prediction of about 5 x 106 neutrinos/cm2s. A remarkable opportunity for observing neutrinos came with Supernova 1987A when the Japanese observing team detected neutrinos almost coincident with the discovery of the light from the supernova. Neutrinos interact only by the weak interaction. Their interactions are usually represented in terms of Feynman diagrams. Technical Details According to the website Neutrinos

Slow and Difficult Schubart admits that this process automatic recharging will initially slower than would be charged by an external source. Another problem new battery is its weight. Currently, batteries weigh 500-600 kg, which is too much for mass production. “The shorter samodobíjaní and weight reduction work,” promises Schubart. For mass production you Neutrino dares in the years 2016 to 2017. As a new technology works, yet refuses to divulge. Reportedly has not closed all the patents and legal issues. “This is the production of energy by neutrinos,” suggests Schubart. Neutrinos are electrically neutral particles, which may during their interactions with matter to release significant amounts of energy. “The core of our technology is the use of neutrinos emitted by our sun,” says Schubart. Scientists Believe Scientists claim to Schubartovmu least skeptical. “It is absolutely impossible” categorically refuses Stefan Recksiegel, a physicist at the Technical University in Munich. “The interaction of neutrinos with matter is so extremely weak that it is absolutely impossible,” explains physicist. “The greatest streams of neutrinos on Earth can be found in the vicinity of nuclear reactors. And even when mnohotonových reactors can see only a few hundred interactions with matter per day. This is a whole range of less than enough to turn on a single LED bulb, the batteries are charging it pomlc˙iac.” Even Tobias Lachenmeier Institute of Physics of the University of Tübingen considered Schubartov project unrealistic. “In the current experiments with neutrino detectors huge need for us to ever be able to record neutrino signals in quantities that are worth noting,” says Lachenmeier. “We use it on several tons of material detection after one kilometer cubic ice in the project Icecube. The amount of energy that play a role in that, in comparison with those that are necessary for technical uses.” Contact Details
