New Technologies
Reduction of Contact Friction and Abrasion between Materials
US-Semi is working with Herndon Development, LLC to license and implement a novel, patent pending method that has the potential to radically reduce static and kinetic friction and abrasion to a revolutionary degree in myriad applications.
In an ideal oil or gas supported fluid bearing, the actual bearing materials do not come into contact: however, many applications are not ideal.
Advanced Two-Stroke Generator
US-Semi is working with Herndon Development, LLC to license, test and commercialize Herndon’s patent pending integrated engine/generator; a design is made possible by the same advances in power semiconductor switching and control systems used in AC Locomotives and Numeric Control machine tools. The Herndon generator is an extremely efficient, very lightweight modular system designed to run on a clean-burning, dense, low pressure, low cost, renewable and safe fuel; an ethanol and water mixture where methanol may be added as denaturant and nitromethane to provide oxidant.
Low Noise, High Efficiency, High Specific Output, Reliable Pulse Jet Engine
US-Semi is working with Herndon Development, LLC to license and implement a patent pending pulse jet engine design intended to simultaneously address the shortcomings of both turbines and pulse jets. The technology has the potential to revolutionarily change manned and unmanned aircraft designs for broad area applications and missions including transition to space. Turbine Jet engines have been developed to a high state of refinement. Continuous combustion provides full duty-cycle, high thrust-to-weight operation. Multi-stage compressors have produced high compression/expansion ratios for high efficiency.
Compact Nuclear Battery
US-Semi is pioneering the development of compact nuclear
battery technology for high energy density, long-life power
sources. These power sources have significant military
and non-military applications for example, deep-space
exploration and satellite longevity. Coupling the energy of a
radiation event to the scale of the micro electromechanical
systems (MEMS) device provides very efficient power
generation.
Quantum Fingerprint Sensor
US-Semi’s innovative sensor technology (QF) for the
detection of Chemical/Biological agents addresses the critical
needs of protecting both civilian and military assets. It
measures the quantum interactions at the surface based
on the density of the trapping centers.
