Process for making solid state current limiters and other solid state devices

Abstract

Abstract A METHOD FOR FABRICATING SOLID STATE CURRENT LIMITERS AND OTHER SOLID STATE DEVICES BY FORMING AND ORIENTING A PLURALITY OF UNBALANCED DIPOLES FROM TWO GROUPS OF CONDUCTIVE PARTICLES WITHIN A HARDENABLE DIELECTRIC MATRIX BY SIMULTANEOUS APPLICATION OF AT LEAST TWO FORCE FIELDS COMPRISING AN ELECTROSTATIC FIELD AND A MAGNETIC FIELD. A THIRD FORCE FIELD OBTAINED FROM RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS MAY ADDITIONALLY BE UTILIZED. ONE GROUP OF CONDUCTIVE PARTICLES IS SELECTED FROM THE GROUP OF ELEMENTS HAVING AN EEN NUMBER OF ELECTRONS IN ITS OUTER SHELL AND HAVING A MAGNETIC MOMENT. THE OTHER GROUP OF CONDUCTIVE PARTICLES IS SELECTED FROM THE GROUP OF ELEMENTS HAVING AN ODD NUMBER OF ELECTRONS IN ITS OUTER SHELL. THE ELECTROSTATIC FORCE FIELD IS OF A TIME-VARYING, PERIODIC OR PULSE WAVEFORM, EITHER ALTERNATING CURRENT OR PULSATING DIRECT CURRENT, AND IS PREFERABLY OF A RELATIVELY HIGH FREQUENCY. THE MAGNETIC FORCE FIELD IS AROUSED BY EITHER A PERMANENT MAGNET OR AN ELECTROMAGNET AND MAY BE SHAPED TO FOCUS THE ELECTROSTATIC FORCE FIELD.
