Abstract

Selon certains modes de réalisation, de l'énergie est libérée grâce à la conversion de l'énergie potentielle de liaison entre deux masses électropositives qui est en mesure de former une liaison stable entre ces dernières en énergie cinétique d'une quasi-particule d'électron initialement capturée entre ces dernières par le potentiel coulombien. Les quasi-particules d'électron forment des liaisons transitoires avec des ions délocalisés et autres réactifs dans ou sur une particule de réaction où les vitesses de réaction et branches sont contrôlées par le choix de la masse effective de la quasi-particule d'électron. La présente invention a également trait à des procédés et à un appareil permettant de stimuler et de contrôler lesdites réactions par association. La présente invention a en outre trait à des procédés thermoioniques et de semi-conducteur et à un appareil permettant de convertir l'énergie de la quasi-particule d'électron directement en électricité. La présente invention a aussi trait à d'autres modes de réalisation.
