After doing the brief test which is in the video below. It became evident that BOTH light and heat increase the rotational speed of the radiometer.

This led to the idea of linking a parabolic mirror to a modified radiometer which is nested inside a clear glass airtight cylinder which is nested within an opaque black metal cube.

The device will be known as the Overidon Entropic Absorption Generator (OEAG).

As you probably already know, the primary difference between a spherical mirror and a parabolic mirror has to do with the focal point of light. A spherical mirror focuses light in a very tight and general area with limited diversity of non-focused light rays.

Yet a parabolic mirror is even better for focusing light than spherical mirror because it has virtually no stray light beams at all. This is due to the fact that parabolic mirrors converge the light beams to a single point of focus. It is true, all things being equal, those light rays will eventually travel past the point of focus and go to another area. But if one places an object directly at the 3-dimensional focal point of the parabolic mirror, a maximal amount of light will be channeled to a single target area.

That is why the parabolic mirror is included as part of the design of the Overidon Entropic Absorption Generator. It increases the amount of energy introduced into the system efficiently and effectively. For the sake of future experiments, the parabolic mirror is chosen because it is much more cost-effective than its lens counterparts. A parabolic mirror can be created crudely and cheaply and still channel tremendous energy. While a lens of equivalent focusing power on the other hand, would cost tremendously more money for the experimentation process. Since the purpose of this project is to create a device which generates energy which can exceed the construction cost within a reasonable number of Kilowatt Hours, cost will be a factor and lynch-pin in every aspect of the prototype construction process.

The reason for the black cube is obvious. Black paint on metal is excellent at converting light into heat. This heat will increase the temperature of the air inside the cube. The air inside the cube will constantly touch the glass of the modified-radiometer cylinder  core. The entropy within the cylinder will cause the vanes to spin. The reason why the term, “entropy” is used is because the OEAG is based on the upsetting of equilibrium within the glass cylinder. That’s what makes the whole process happen. As you’ll see in the simple radiometer video below, more light and more heat means the vanes of the radiometer spins faster. If the vanes of the radiometer spins quickly in 90 degree weather, imagine how quickly they would spin under the increased temperatures of being radiated by a parabolic mirror. This train of thought is what gives the hypothesis that heavier and more substantial vanes can be used within the cylinder core than its traditional radiometer counterparts. Also, the reason why a cylinder is being used instead of a light-bulb shape is due to again, an attempt to reduce construction costs of future prototypes.

A cylinder and a light-bulb shape both have one thing in common. Both shapes are capable of containing a toroidal system. If one is unfamiliar with a toroid, it is basically a three-dimensional doughnut shape. In fact toroids are quite common in both science and nature. A hurricane is a mixture of a spiral as well as a toroid. And of course a tornado has the word toroid within its name. The spinning toroid even has the “eye” which is analogous to the empty space within the doughnut or toroid shape.

The heat within the sealed cube will create infra-red light. This infra-red light will spin the vanes within the cylinder core. The reason for this is similar to how a radiometer will spin with the lights off in your hand is on it. The heat from your hand is still light, although that light is not visible to the human eye. In fact, if one were to wear infra-red goggles, you would see the color within a radiometer change as the temperature changes. The same principle is applied to the OEAG, the black opaque cube works as a type of filter, converting all visible light radiation directly into heat which will be transferred into the cylinder core.

Once the energy is within the core and the core begins to spin, the transversal will move a long and thin cylindrical rod down through an encapsulated shaft which goes down even below the parabolic mirror itself. Underneath the mirror will be a small hobby motor which will have its black motor head spun by the clockwise rotation of the cylinder core. The motor will be used in this prototype as a type of makeshift electrical generator. The rotational energy of the transversal rod will be converted to electricity by the motor which is actually nothing more than a rotor/stator combination which is equipped with input/output (I/O -/+) electrical wires.

After the electricity is generated, it can be transferred into a battery or else inputted into a transformer for further electrical usage. Or in some cases, the electricity may be used directly for some specific analog electrical applications.

Here is a video of how a radiometer spins faster when it is on top of a mirror in sunlight on a hot day.

I hope you enjoyed this article and if you like it feel free to share it with your friends in its entirety or in parts.

Radiometer Preliminary Research

Radiometer in Freezer

Radiometer in Freezer

This is preliminary research on potential applications for Radiometer-based technology. Here’s a little background information on the Crookes Radiometer that you might not hear anywhere else:

Many websites and books say that the Radiometer is a “measuring device” and that is absolutely true. The movement of the vanes in the radiometer definitely correlate to the amount of heat inside the radiometer bulb. What these sites don’t mention, is that the radiometer is also generating movement. This movement is rotational.

As you already know, rotational movement is the same type of movement that power generators and motors use in order to carry out their function.

Therefore the radiometer is a closed system that could potentially be used to generate rotational movement if the vanes were configured to a static base instead of resting on top of a pin.

More information on the pin and energy generation potential of the radiometer will be discussed at the end of this article.

The preliminary research that was done a few months ago on the radiometer just for fun is viewable at THIS LINK to our YouTube Page. In the video some temperatures are discussed, but they are not accurate.

After doing some research today, it was found that a radiometer will spin:

CLOCKWISE – 91 degrees Fahrenheit or 32 degrees Celsius [ The WHITE sides of the vanes will spin clockwise toward the black sides of the vanes ] == CLOCKWISE rotation occurs when an energy (heat) transferable material is touching the glass, (such as a human hand) and that material is at least 91 degrees Fahrenheit or 32 degrees Celsius.

COUNTER-CLOCKWISE – 40 degrees Fahrenheit or 4 degrees Celsius [ The BLACK sides of the vanes will spin counter-clockwise toward the white sides of the vanes] == COUNTER-CLOCKWISE rotation when a cold energy (heat) transferable material is touching the glass, (in this case, a bag of broccoli and mushrooms from the freezer was used) this material needs to be at a maximum of 40 degrees Fahrenheit or 4 degrees Celsius.

The reason why the radiometer spins is due to an upset in the equilibrium sustained by the radiometer inside temperature and the temperature of whatever is touching the outside of the radiometer glass. The reason for this is because the radiometer does not simply measure light energy. In fact, the radiometer will spin counter-clockwise in absolute darkness if the ambient temperature is cold enough.

To make this more clear, the radiometer is spinning because of its configuration. The alternating white and black colors of the vanes create a path for energy to flow. Heat, as you already know, is directly linked to color. If that doesn’t make sense to you then read THIS article real quick.

White color reflects light, that’s true. But white is also a “hotter” color than red or black. That’s because of where it lands of the electromagnetic spectrum, this is important because there’s more to color than simply aesthetics. Color actually serves a function. By alternating from white to black and so forth, the radiometer creates a “snake eating its tail” of sorts. The closed system of the radiometer has no where to send the heat from a 91 degrees Fahrenheit source…so the radiometer is forced to spin its vanes in order to maintain equilibrium. The heat is drawn toward the black sides of the vanes and then it is sent out from the other side toward another black side.

The interesting aspect of this entire process is how the radiometer spins counter-clockwise when it is cold. This is because the cold object or air is upsetting the equilibrium of the radiometer. But this time it is colder outside the radiometer than it is inside the radiometer. So in a sense, the radiometer has to “generate” heat in order to maintain equilibrium. An analogy would be how a human shivers when out in the cold. The movement generates heat. An analogous process is happening inside the radiometer. The lack of heat outside cools the radiometer’s slightly out-of-synch internal pressure. The movement of the radiometer creates friction and in-turn creates heat. This helps the radiometer attempt to return to equilibrium. NOTE: The radiometer will continue spinning as long as it is out of equilibrium with its neighboring external ambient temperature. Therefore a properly configured radiometer could run indefinitely in a cold region such as a freezer, or a cold climate such as the polar ice caps.

As promised earlier, the radiometer can be adapted as a form of energy production. The research and experimentation that needs to take place is as follows:

1. Can the pin of the radiometer be made into a static spinning transversal?

2. If the transversal is tied into a motor, could the radiometer generate sufficient energy to make the glass and metal of the unit worthwhile?

These questions will be answered after further investigation into this interesting piece of technology.

Thank you for reading.
