Borealis Announces Solar Thermionic Power Chip.LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 28, 1999-- A thermionic therm·i·on n. An electrically charged particle, especially an electron, emitted by a conducting material at high temperatures. therm Power Chip(TM) which works entirely from solar energy has been patented by research and development specialists Borealis Technical Limited. The patent, titled "Method and Apparatus for Photoelectric Converting photons into electrons. When light is beamed onto a metal, electrons are released from its atoms. The higher the light frequency, the more electron energy released. Photonic sensors of all kinds work on this principle. They sense light and cause an electric current to flow. Generation of Electricity" 5,973,259 was issued by the US Patent Office on October 26th 1999. The patent covers a technology for generating electricity using a solar cell comprising two closely spaced electrodes separated by a vacuum. Unlike conventional photoelectric cells, the Borealis solar Power Chip(TM) does not have to concentrate light to work, and can generate electricity efficiently at ambient temperatures. As the solar energy warms the chip, so thermionic emission thermionic emission (thûrm'īŏn`ĭk), emission of electrons or ions by substances that are highly heated, the charged particles being called thermions. of electrons also contributes to the power generated, adding to the efficiency of the device. "Solar Power Chips(TM) are a major advance in the provision of clean energy from renewable sources" says Borealis President Isaiah Cox. "This technology can be mass-produced using existing engineering techniques at a very low cost."
