"Optical Generator of an Electrostatic Field having
Longitudinal Oscillations at Light Frequencies for Use
in an Electrical Circuit"
Pavel Imris was awarded this expired patent in the
1970s. The patent is most interesting in that it
claims a device having an output power nine times
greater, in photons, than the equivqlnet input power.
The device uses a series of xenon tubes- quartz glass
envelope which contains xenon gas under pressure (the
higher the pressure, the greater the gain of the
device).
The same kind of resonant rise apparently is at work
as in the CE7.
Each Imris lamp can work to its full specification on
less than one-fortieth of its rated input power.
However, these tubes are not nearly as efficient in
terms of lumens per watt as the LED; but even so- the
claimed light output power of more than nine times the
input power should have made it a commercial item,
despite the exorbitant cost of xenon. Or else the
claims are overblown.
Anyway, from the point of view of any individual lamp,
without before using this Imris series circuit, it
required 40 watts of electrical input power to give
8.8 watts of light output which is an efficiency of
about 22% (the rest of the input power being converted
to heat). In test 24, the input power per lamp is 0.9
watts for the 8.8 watts of light produced, which is a
lamp efficiency of more than 900%. Quite an impressive
performance for so simple a device, but FAR FAR less
so than the Stiffler LED circuit which is now driving
and enormous # of LEDs with almost no input.
I is just a matter of time before the light from a
future incarnation of Stiffler's circuit is focused to
a solar cell so that the device can float, and remove
all possible doubt.
May George will be the one to pull that off!
