1.一种用于产生电能的电能发生器,包括:
一种容器构造的气密,电绝缘材料,所述容器包括底座和限定腔的内圆柱形壁,所述容器还包括:
- (a) a negatively charged corona wire made of a low work function delta-ray emissive material which functions as an electron emitter, and including germanium, silicon or lead-sulfide for emitting delta ray electrons when bombarded with high energy alpha particles;
- (b) a high work function electron collector having a cylindrical shape and made of palladium (Pd) or an activated carbon and located coaxially inside the vessel;
- (c)越氡气体衰减到具有大于6.06meV的能量水平的无线电同位素,其膨胀,从而填充容器的腔;和
- (d)通过气密密封并面向远离腔的第一和第二导电销通过气密密封,第一销电连接到电晕线,第二销电连接到高功函数电子收集器,
在最初指控throu电晕线gh an external negative charge applied at the first pin, and the high work function electron collector is initially charged through an external positive charge applied at the second pin, and
wherein, after charging of the corona wire and the high work function electron collector, the first and second pins act as cathode and anode respectively of the electrical energy generator.
