Abstract: This invention makes it possible to directly convert Heat Energy to Output Electric Energy and or to cool gases without compression. The cooling is determined if the container is open or closed. Solar Ponds or warm materials eg metal surfaces, can become the source of directly converted heat energy to electrical energy for insect control or for storage etc..   This invention involves the Sciences of Chemistry, Static Electricity and Electricity at the Ionic, Molecular and Free Electrons Atomic Level. The Description Section is divided into four main sections because this invention wants to clearly distinguish and to compare the differences of how electric charges can be made to flow when exposed to strong static charges Fig 1, Fig 7 and references to The ideal Gas Law. The Output could be refrigeration cooling and or electricity generation. A High Permanently Charged Electret is one of the components.  This invention when operating as an Electret Refrigerator uses non conductive electric, non heat, non static electric transfer insulated containers 1. a First "Input Cooling " 2. a Second "Controller Power Charging Capacitive Function [with optional cooling] " 3. a Third "Electron Carbon Particle Reservoir" or a Ground. The "Electron Carbon Particle Reservoir" is housed in a partially insulated Metal Box which can dissipate heat energy from the Energized Electrons where Kinetic is converted to Heat Energy. Heat Energy is expelled to the Ambient Air outside of the Refrigerator, Fig 1, alternatively to a battery or to a Ground. The refrigeration section must be continuously supplied with low energy Free Electrons, Fig 1, Fig 7.   The reader should review the References of "The Induction of Charges" and "The Ideal Gas Law" because this invention is designed to transfer High Energized Charges Free Electrons than to transfer heated heavier ions as is done in the gas refrigerators or by the Peltier Effect Thermo-Electric Chips, Fig 11. This invention only consumed energy by alternatively moving an Insulation Dielectric which cannot be attracted or repelled by any static charges. NOTE:     The invention does not compress a refrigeration gas nor depend on the heat energy transfer by ion carriers as is done by Peltier Effect Chips.   The Highly Energized Charged Free Electrons are moved to transfer the Equivalent Heat Energy as Kinetic Energy. This invention makes it possible to directly convert Heat Energy to Output Electric Energy. Peltier Effect Cooling / Heating Chips consume much energy to move heavy heated ions. Peltier chips cannot be rated as efficient compared to other heat pumps because these can consume more energy than it extracted. The voltage ratings of PE are very low and continuously consume energy. Peltier Effects operates as a cargo carrier of energy than as a heat pump. Peltier Chips also have a limited temperature cooling or heating range.  This invention uses Permanently Charged Particles which can have 100's or 1000's of permanent stored volts to cause the attraction of charges and indirectly later in a cycle, permits by its absence that these same induced charges to repel themselves to an Output.   It operates analogous as an electro-magnet which attracts rolling metal balls toward a cliff and as soon as the rolling metal balls reach the cliff edge the electro-magnet is den-energized so that the metal steel balls under their rolling momentum are thrown off the edge of the cliff toward the ground.   This invention uses an Insulation Dielectric Gate which cannot be Polarized to move alternatively out of the way so that the Charged Electret attracts free charges into a Metal Plate and then return in front of the Electret so it blocks the effect of this permanent static field Electret. Then the crowded Energized Free Electrons fall to an Electrical Reservoir or to a Ground.   Refer to how an electrician can be electrocuted or be shielded by his non electric conductive gloves or electrical tape. This invention uses Switches and Diodes with respect to charge sign polarity to act as gates which permit the attraction and then the repulsion.   The Description Reference Section has copied articles and drawings on "The induction of Charges". This invention does not remove the charged Electret Plate but rather blocks the field effects. The Insulation Dielectric is much lighter in weight and is not able to be polarized.     The result is that low energy cause high energy movement and then it can be rated by the use of mathematical efficiency ratios.   The invention does not operate as a continuous Series Electronic Circuit as referenced with power supplies that power Thermo-Eectric Peltier Effect Chips. This invention operates as a production conveyor which Pulls-In or Attracts Free Electrons which become Highly Energized. Then a Second Section conveyor is triggered to have these Energized Free Electrons Push-Out Expel or Self-Repel themselves to an Output Reservoir or to the charging of a battery etc. . As the refrigeration section keeps losing energy by the cycling of Low to Highly Energized Free Electrons, then the Refrigerator Air or Gas becomes cooler and cooler.  A First Cooling Metal Plate is housed in the First "Input Cooling " Container.  The Kinetic Energy of the collisions of the refrigerator "Air or Gas" is absorbed onto the Surface of the First Cooling Metal Plate. The First Cooling Metal Plate is connected by an electric conductive wire to a First-Second Diode and then to a Second Metal Plate. The Second Metal Plate is housed in the Second "Controller Power Charging Capacitive Function"  Container.  The Second "Controller Power Charging Capacitive Function " Container is a type of Capacitive Electron Vacuum Collector. The Second Metal Plate alternatively draws in Highly Energized Free Electrons through the First-Second Diode which came from the First Cooling Metal Plate. Afterward, these Energized Electrons which are now on the Second Metal Plate will be expelled by their own repulsion to the Output which is the Electron Carbon Particle Reservoir or Grounding if grounding is used.   This repulsion occurs because 1. the Dielectric now is returned between the Positively Permanently Charged Electret and the Second Metal Plate 2. The First-Second Diode blocks reverse electron flow to the First Metal Plate 3. The Output Switch is closed 4. The Output Diode only permits Highly Energized Electrons to go to the Carbon Reservoir.  Note that the charge on the Electrets must be much larger than any free electron charges in the Electron Carbon Reservoir or any Grounding if grounding is used. More Steps are explained in the Description Paragraphs and Drawing Figures.   This invention can be scaled from low to very high cooling and the direct conversion of heat energy to electrical energy. Efficiencies are much greater than moving gases or ion carriers.
