Light cooling and heating machine

Abstract

A light cooling and heating machine, for which electrons or other charged particles serves as a refrigerant, comprising a light source and a sealed container. When cooling, the interior of the sealed container is filled with an electron gas, the light source produces an incident light, under the irradiation of the incident light, the radial attractive force among vibrating electrons reduces the average kinetic energy of the electrons for thermal motion, thus reducing the temperature of the electron gas and implementing cooling. When heating, the interior of the sealed container is filled with oxygen ions and helium ions, under the irradiation of the incident light, the radial repulsive force among the vibrating oxygen ions and vibrating helium ions increases the average kinetic energy of the electrons for thermal motion, thus increasing the temperature and implementing heating.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application is a Continuation Application of PCT Application No. PCT / CN2016 / 102226 filed on Oct. 14, 2016, which claims the benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. 201510740607.8 filed on Oct. 27, 2015. All the above are hereby incorporated by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]This light cooling and heating machine uses electrons or other charged particles as a working medium, comprising a light source and a sealed container. The machine uses the near-field energy of vibrating charged particles for cooling and heating. When cooling, the interior of the sealed container is filled with an electron gas, and the average distance between electrons in the sealed container is caused to be much smaller than the wavelength of the incident light, and an electron number density is much greater than the negative third power of wavelength of the incident light, allowing vibrating electrons to be in the near-field of each other; under the ir...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a method for heating a sealed container using a laser or other light source. The method involves filling the container with gas or other substances that can be ionized by the light, such as helium or hydrogen. When the gas is exposed to the light, the ions and electrons in the gas vibrate and create a repulsive force, which increases the energy of the ions and electrons for thermal motion. This results in an increase in temperature of the gas inside the container. The method allows for control of the temperature through adjusting the amplitude, frequency, and electric moment of the incident light. The patent also describes a method for cooling the container using a negative electrode. The technical effects of the patent include improved heating and cooling capabilities using a sealed container and a laser or other light source.

Problems solved by technology

It is known that Freon, a refrigerant used in refrigerators and air conditioners, can damage the environment, and magnetic cooling devices need a superconducting magnet, and magnetic cooling is not suitable for the use in near-room temperature areas.

Laser cooling utilizes the radiation pressure of laser light to damp the thermal motions of neutral gas atoms to reduce a temperature, but the radiation pressure is too small to damp the thermal motions of a large number of neutral gas atoms to achieve the purpose of reducing the temperature; in addition, solar thermal efficiency is low.
