Preliminary testing shows increased heat transfer capability with enriched silicon

What I'm going to introduce you to today, may be the most exciting development with respect to new materials that has happened in the last several hundred years. Phoenix -1 is a silicon-based material that uses isotopic enrichment to improve heat transfer beyond that of natural silicon.

Over 90% of natural silicon consists of the isotope silicon-28, the remaining portion is made up of two other isotopes, silicon-29 and silicon-30. What I have done and, have a patent for, is enrich the basic material with the two lesser abundant isotopes to enhance the atomic bonding associated with this crystalline material.  Silicon shares the same basic atomic bonding structure as diamond. It called the diamond cubic crystal structure. Incredibly strong this is a face-centered-cubic (FCC) lattice with two atoms per lattice point and is one of the best natural conductors of heat known, as much as four times better than copper or silver.  Enriched silicon material improves heat transfer of natural silicon without the cost of diamond.

Silicon is one of the most abundant materials in the universe and is in wide use. Common sand and quartz are typical examples.

Additionally, there is nothing particularly difficult neither in accomplishing the isotopic separation for SI - 29 & SI-30 nor in manufacturing the material as these techniques are well known and have been in common practice in the metallurgical and materials industries for decades.

Another important aspect associated with Phoenix-1 is that it can withstand temperatures in the same range (several thousand degrees Fahrenheit) as most iron alloys but with an atomic number of 14 it is about half the weight and is also non-magnetic.

Heat transfer capability is of high value in many applications, particular in electronic and computer application.  It goes without saying that they would be more effective and less expensive if the materials used were better at moving energy.
Additionally the same application can be applied to solar receivers where a field of mirrors is used to focus the sun's energy on a central tower. In this application the mirrors can focus enough energy on the tower to cause structural damage. One of the limiting factors in producing this cheap, environmentally friendly power is the ability to remove heat.  Phoenix-1 is a potential method that will help improve these power plants so they can be more competitive with other sources of power production.

In short Phoenix-1 provides a light, high temperature, ductile, nonmagnetic material with improved heat transfer that could be used in millions of different applications.

I am confident that this product will revolutionize the way we think about materials with respect to using isotopic concentrations in something other than those that naturally occur in nature as the preliminary testing by a nationally known laboratory indicates enriched silicon may dramatically improve heat transfer over naturally occurring material.

If you would like to participate in furthering the development of this new technology, please contact me through the form below. I am confident that we can work something out for mutual professional and economic benefit. Research facilities and Universities are particularly invited to respond, as confirmatory testing of the preliminary results needs to be carried out.  In this endeavor, I’m not looking for financial assistance.  I am looking for help in confirming the test results.  I have a test coupon of the enriched material that was made for me by Argonne National Labs and on which the preliminary heat transfer testing was done.
