Abstract
A super conducting super capacitor and method forming massive embedded capacitors connected in parallel over a very wide radius that can vary from a few square feet to hundreds or thousands of square miles, and more, is disclosed. The super conducting super capacitor is formed within a water proof vacuum housing to keep out water and humidity by depositing a plurality of alternating layers of dielectric material between each layer of conducting material, whereby one or more electrodes are situated on each dielectric layer, thus forming a super conducting super capacitor having at least one probe electrode exuding from said housing, and connected to the one or more electrodes, for receiving electric charge from a lightning source for example. One can contemplate many dielectric layers separating many conductor layers from a few layers to thousands, and possibly even millions or more layers delineated, for example, to define a multilayer capacitive structure capable of providing electric power to supplement or replace other sources of electric power that harm the environment.
Description
SUPER CAPACITOR
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates generally to massive electrical circuits and their fabrication, housed within a massive water resistant vacuum nonconductive shell made of concrete, ceramic, or other like nonconductive material, using layers of localized abundant natural resources such as sand, or other dielectric materials, etc., as insulators (whether human fabricated or naturally occurring); human fabricated or naturally occurring layers of metallic materials such as iron, aluminum, etc., as conductors; a metallic probe emanating from the housing and connected in parallel with each conductive layer; and human generated or naturally occurring phenomena such as lightning, as a source of power to the probe. More particularly, this invention relates to a process for forming a macroelectronic assembly with integral multilayer capacitors that have a wide range of capacitance values based on their very wide radii and number of layers formed in its housing. Electricity thusly captured can then be stored and distributed for human consumption. A new type of electrical power plant is contemplated employing this super capacitor technology, providing electrical energy to the power grid and for use by electrical filling stations for electrical transport vehicles, such as cars, trucks, buses, ships, trains and aircraft.
BACKGROUND
Microelectronic capacitors are typically formed by patterning a conductive region on a ceramic substrate to define a bottom electrode, depositing a thin layer of a dielectric material over the bottom electrode to form the dielectric for the microelectronic capacitor, and then forming a second electrode over the dielectric, patterned to form the microelectronic capacitor, using a second conductive region above the dielectric material. In this way, microelectronic capacitors store electric charge, and since work must be done to charge the microelectronic capacitor, the microelectronic capacitor will also store electric potential energy. If one considers an example isolated metallic sphere of radius R, any electric charge stored on this sphere, call it Q, can be articulated as a potential:
V = 1 Q
47cce R
such that the amount of charge stored on the sphere is directly proportional to the potential (V). This proportionality exists for any conductor of any shape or size.
Capacitance (C) of this single conductor is large if the conductor is capable of storing a large amount of charge at a low potential, so that the relation:
Q = CV becomes C = Q., = 0 = 47reoR
4neo R
Therefore, the capacitance of the sphere increases with its radius, and many such spheres wired together in parallel creates a net capacitance that is the sum of their individual capacitances. Furthermore, capacitors store not only electric charge (Q), but also electric potential energy (U), which can be expressed roughly as:
U = 1/2 02, C

4 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 2 is a block diagram that illustrates a naturally occurring embodiment of the method of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram that illustrates a human controlled embodiment of the method of the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Detailed embodiments of the present invention are disclosed herein; however, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, which can be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed structure. Further, the terms and phrases used herein are not intended to be limiting; but rather, to provide an understandable description of the invention.
The terms a or an, as used herein, are defined as one or more than one. The term plurality, as used herein, is defined as two or more than two. The term another, as used herein, is defined as at least a second or more. The terms including and/or having, as used herein, are defined as comprising (i.e., open language). While a particular configuration for the invention is shown in FIG. 1, those skilled in the art will appreciate that variations and modifications are possible, and such variations and modifications are within the scope of this invention.
Referring now to FIG. 1, the macroelectronic circuit of the present invention, referred to herein as the super capacitor 100 (hereinafter SC), is shown as having alternating layers of conductors 20 and dielectric material 30, similar in structure to prior art microelectronic parallel capacitor circuits, and at least one probe electrode 10 for receiving the lightning strike. The primary differences over prior art capacitors are size, power scale, purpose, and lightning as a power source. One embodiment of the present invention contemplates connecting the SC 100 to a massive battery system 200 (hereinafter massive battery) that receives the generated electrical energy so as to free up the SC 100 for more lightning strikes.
The massive battery 200 can also be linked with an electrical power grid 300 that can comprise direct connections to Electric Train Stations, Factories, and Electric Filling Stations for transfer to transport vehicles such as electric trucks, cars, ships and aircraft.
Referring now to FIG. 2, the best mode for practicing the invention is to utilize free and naturally occurring lightning. However, this method limits the invention to use in geographic areas where there is substantial rain, and thus naturally occurring lightning.
Referring now to FIG 3, an alternative, but more costly, method to practice the invention, but which overcomes geographic limitations, is to create lightning by ionization of the atmosphere, such as by silver iodide cloud seeding to generate rain, and therefore, lightning.
While the invention has been described in conjunction with specific embodiments, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications, permutations and variations will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art in light of the foregoing description. Accordingly, it is intended that the present invention embrace all such alternatives, modifications and variations as fall within the scope of the appended claims.
