Abstract:
An apparatus for recovering energy stored in an energy storage device having a plurality of electrons that are moving along paths that are arranged in a fixed geometry, comprising:an inlet for controllably injecting a gas into the storage device such that the gas encounters the arranged electrons to energize the gas by transferring energy from the electrons to the gas, the gas in the storage device having a pressure of 100 mb or less; an outlet for controllably removing the energized gas from the storage device; an electric generator connected to the outlet; a sensor that measures a property of the storage device; and a computer connected to a system controller, the controller being connected to the inlet and the outlet such that the controller controls injection of the gas into the storage device at the inlet and regulates removal of energy at the outlet.
