Molecular graphene "harvests" ambient energy

Carbon with the most varied properties: from diamonds to graphene – from jewellery to neutrinovoltaics.

Depending on how its atomic structure is arranged, carbon is a very versatile basic material and therefore – naturally – offers us completely different uses. What is highly interesting is that with neutrinovoltaics it will soon even be possible to generate electricity endlessly with the help of graphene – a form of carbon.

Carbon is the most important element of the biosphere; by weight it is the most common element in living beings after oxygen (water). Carbon is contained in all living beings, and all living tissue is built from (organic) carbon compounds. This applies to plants and fungi as well as animals. In addition, many elementary forms of carbon and their properties are well known to us as a society and play major roles worldwide, with different uses depending on their properties. Among others, we know:

• Diamonds in the jewellery and tool industries
• Types of coal, crude oil, natural gas as “fossil fuels” in organic carbon compounds
• Graphite in pencils
• Types of rock in carbonate rocks such as limestone, chalk, marble, dolomite, siderite, smithsonite etc.
• Carbon dioxide, better known as CO2
• You can find further detailed information here (German)

Today, let us turn rather to graphene, which is based on graphite, with its outstanding – and in part still unexplored – properties for the endless generation of electricity.

In 2020 a Russian journalist published his discoveries on this in a video, which I would like to use here as a find. The very clear video is spoken in English in the original; for German-speaking readers I transcribed it and offered a simplified German translation:

We could produce free energy from molecules by using graphene

For several years, the Neutrino® Energy Group – above all its CEO Holger Thorsten Schubart as initiator – has taken on the task of advancing the industrial use of graphene as a baseload-capable, clean carrier for generating energy. Together with numerous scientists worldwide, an alliance of pioneers is working to make the technology usable for us end consumers. Many milestones have already been reached; a few are still open. Automated manufacturing of the Cubes, for example, is still a “bottleneck”, as there are very few equipment suppliers worldwide for such a demanding manufacturing process. But progress is assured in this area too. The first Cubes are being made in Switzerland, and Korea – a technological pioneer since time immemorial – has secured large capacities.

The “point of no return” was passed some time ago. Together with the Neutrino® Group, we will shortly announce the field test of the Neutrino® Power Cubes and look forward to broad participation. We will soon publish the conditions for taking part to all our members.
