[0001] 1.1 Title
[0002] Vitrosys: Wireless Electron Harvesting Ecosystem Based on Doped Glass Materials.
[0003] 1.3 Invention technical field.
[0004] The present invention pertains to the fields of materials science, energy transmission, and environmental electron harvesting. It specifically relates to the development of doped glass materials for the passive or semi-active collection of ambient electrons and the establishment of systems for wireless energy redirection in various domains, including smart infrastructure, autonomous devices, and energy-deficient regions. Chapter 2: Background of the Invention
[0005] The present ecosystem lies in the field of doped materials with functional energetic properties, particularly in the engineering of modified glass structures incorporating metal oxides capable of capturing, transmitting, or modulating ambient electrons without the need for wired energy sour- ces or conventional energy storage. This technology directly relates to the utilization of ambient electron sources, such as those present in the air, space, the Earth’s electromagnetic field, and other latent charge regions, through passive means.
[0006] Over the past decades, there has been increasing interest in ambient energy harvesting systems to power low-consumption devices or to create self-sustaining solutions. Technologies such as solar cells, rectifying antennas (rectennas), and thermoelectric generators have made it possible to har- ness dispersed energy sources. However, these solutions require specific operating conditions, such as direct light, thermal gradients, or modulated electromagnetic signals. Additionally, they depend on circuits, storage units, or converters, which increases system cost, complexity, and maintenance.
[0007] To date, no system has been reported in the state of the art that is based on doped glass structures functioning as passive repeater media for the conduction and redirection of ambient electrons while simultaneously harvesting energy, without the need for complex circuits or energy storage devices.
[0008] Some partial precedents exist, such as electrochromic glass devices, doped fibers for telecommu- nications, or conductive coatings in architecture. However, none of these technologies exhibit properties of passive energy transmission, interaction with free ambient electrons, or viability as self-sustaining media to enable wireless energy ecosystems.
[0009] This invention seeks to overcome the above limitations through a unique glass formulation, pro- duced from silica doped with a mixture of metal oxides (FeO, CuO, TiO2, AI2O3, and others), which enables the modification of its electronic mobility, resistivity, and electromagnetic beha- vior. The proposed material, validated through Hall effect measurements, demonstrates functio- nal semiconductor behavior, evidencing a potentially disruptive invention.
[0010] Chapter 3: Detailed Description of the Invention
[0011] The present experimentation, denominated Vitrosys, consists of a doped glass-based system designed to capture, redirect, and transmit ambient electrons without the use of batteries or electrical wiring. The system is composed of a vitreous matrix synthesized from silica (SiO2) and doped with a specific mixture of metal oxides, including but not limited to ferric oxide (FeO), copper oxide (CuO), titanium dioxide (TiO2), and aluminum oxide (Al2O3). These dopants are selected based on their individual contributions to charge mobility, lattice modification, and electromagnetic interaction at the atomic level.
[0012] The invention may be fabricated using artisanal or industrial melting techniques, with temperatures ranging between 1000 ºC and 1450 ºC depending on the purity of the silica and the particle size (preferably +40 / -100 US Mesh). The resulting material may be poured into graphite molds or refractory crucibles, allowing the formation of crystalline or amorphous (doped glass blocks, depending on the cooling conditions and dopant concentrations.
[0013] In specific configurations, a thin copper spiral or metallic loop can be incorporated post-fusion or during controlled reheating, to serve as a conductive pathway for surface-level energy modulation. Experimental versions have shown that embedding such metallic elements superficially improves the redistribution of ambient electrons, which is essential for the construction of passive transmission plates or resonant circuits for wireless energy transfer.
[0014] The primary physical properties of the resulting material, when correctly synthesized, include:
[0015] •High electronic mobility (measured up to -2123.54 cm2 / s in Hall effect testing),
[0016] •Low resistivity (as low as 0.0001296 Ω · cm)
[0017] •Carrier concentration in the order of 101 cm-3.
[0018] These parameters confirm the material's potential as a functional semiconductor capable of participating in passive wireless energy systems, either as a repeater, a receptor, or an intermediary energy bridge in architectural, aerospace, or electronic applications.
[0019] The invention supports multiple geometric configurations:
[0020] •Cubic or rectangular blocks for passive wall installation or modular energy redistribution.
[0021] •Curved or ring-shaped designs for field redirection or localized focusing of ambient charge.
[0022] •Perforated modules integrated with silica aerogels for hybrid applications, such as water vapor capture, marine desalination, or orbital particle redirection, the material may also be synthesized using waste-derived silica or PET-based polymer fundents, which expands the system’s sustainability and market viability. Chapter 3 - Background and Prior Art
[0023] 3.1. General Background
[0024] The field of wireless energy transmission and environmental electron harvesting has traditionally relied on complex systems, including resonant inductive coupling, photovoltaic cells, and rectennas. Most of these technologies depend on discrete circuitry, semiconductors, and power storage elements, which increase costs, size, and dependence on infrastructure.
[0025] Materials capable of passively capturing environmental electrons and redirecting them without external power or storage units are virtually non-existent in current commercial or scientific implementations. The current landscape is dominated by:
[0026] •Monocrystalline silicon and germanium wafers for electronic applications.
[0027] •Metallic antennas and resonators for wireless energy transfer.
[0028] •Dielectric or insulating glasses used mainly for optics or construction, with no energy-interactive properties.
[0029] These systems lack scalability in austere environments, and their integration into infrastructure often demands high capital expenditure and regulated environments (e.g., cleanrooms, high-voltage transformers, solar farms).
[0030] 3.2. Existing Materials and Patents
[0031] A review of existing literature and patents reveals the following:
[0032] -US20150155611 A1 discloses an energy harvester using antennas with active diode circuits.
[0033] •WO2018072210A1 describes transparent conductive glass using ITO (indium tin oxide), but this material requires vacuum deposition and expensive rare metals.
[0034] •US20090015169A1 details a system of energy transmission using resonance between coils, which demands precise tuning and spatial alignment
[0035] None of these documents or technologies suggest or enable the use of doped glassy materials to directly capture and redirect free environmental electrons passively, nor do they describe scalable artisanal fusion processes as a viable production pathway. 33. Unmet Needs in the Field
[0036] Current technologies fall short in several ways:
[0037] •Require power sources or batteries for initial activation.
[0038] •Are not adaptable to low-resource environments.
[0039] •Cannot passively harvest electrons from ambient sources without resonance hardware.
[0040] Vitrosys addresses these gaps through:
[0041] •A unique doped-glass composition with inductive and conductive response.
[0042] •Passive operation without circuitry, batteries, or alignment systems.
[0043] •Scalable low-tech fusion methods accessible even in artisanal or field settings.
[0044] Chapter 4 - Brief Description of the Invention
[0045] The present product relates to a novel doped vitreous material system designed for the passive capture and redirection of ambient electrons without the need for external power sources, wiring, or energy storage. This system, commercially referred to as Vitrosys, utilizes a custom-formulated glass composed primarily of silica (SiOz) doped with metallic oxides including FeO, CuO, TiO2. and Al2O3, optionally enhanced with gold oxide (AuO), and fluxed with oxidizing agents such as sodium nitrate.
[0046] Key to the invention is the integration of conductive pathways within the vitreous matrix that enable enhanced charge mobility, combined with a superficial inductive copper spiral to guide electron flow. The system is manufactured using artisanal methods in high-temperature conditions and graphite molds, allowing for low-cost, scalable fabrication even outside industrial environments.

[0065] The present material, referred to commercially as Vitrosys, consists of a doped glass-based material system engineered for ambient electron harvesting and passive energy redirection without reliance on traditional power sources, wiring infrastructure, or chemical batteries. The invention addresses the need for a lightweight low-cost, and scalable solution for wireless energy systems applicable in urban infrastructure, mobile electronics, biomedical devices, and aerospace systems.
[0066] 5.1. Composition of the Vitrosys Material
[0067] The core of the system is a vitreous matrix primarily composed of silica (SiOz), doped with a specific combination of metallic oxides to alter its electronic, inductive, and surface properties. The base formulation includes:
[0068] •Silicon dioxide (SiOz): 87-90 wt% (high-purity silica, mesh +40 / - 100)
[0069] •Metallic dopants: 6-10 wt%, selected from: o Iron oxide (FeO) - to enhance electron mobility and induce ferromagnetic behavior, in form of magnetite. o Copper oxide (CuO) for semiconductive and plasmonic enhancement. o Titanium dioxide (TiOz) - as a photocatalytic and dielectric modifier. o Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) - to stabilize the network and adjust glass transition temperature.
[0070] •Flux agents: 5-8 wt%, o Sodium nitrate (NaNO3) and optionally bicarbonate (NaHCO3), to lower the melting point and promote homogenous mixing.
[0071] 5.2. Fabrication Method
[0072] The Vitrosys material is synthesized through an artisanal high-temperature fusion method using the following steps:
[0073] 1. Mixing and Preparation: The dry components are combined thoroughly in appropriate weight ratios to ensure homogeneity. Mechanical grinding is applied if necessary.
[0074] 2. Mold Configuration: The powder blend is compacted into a graphite mold or graphite crucible, optionally layered with a metallic spiral (typically copper) positioned on the surface.
[0075] 3. Heating Procedure: Using a butane torch with oxygen assist, the material is heated progressively from the base upward to reach orange incandescence (>1,000 °C). The heating duration typically ranges from 25-45 minutes, depending on volume.
[0076] 4. Thermal Insulation: The mold is surrounded by silica sand and refractory bricks to retain thermal energy and promote uniform melting.
[0077] Cooling: After fusion, the material is left to cool gradually over 12-24 hours to avoid internal stress and cracking. Covering with thermal blankets or layers of sand helps control the cooling gradient.
[0078] 5.3. Integration of Conductive Spiral
[0079] After melting, or during the last phase of fusion, a copper spiral may be positioned on or partially embedded in the surface of the molten glass to enhance charge collection and create a passive inductive loop. This spiral can serve as a guide for ambient electron directionality.
[0080] 5.4. Functional Behavior
[0081] Based on experimental validation (including a Hall Effect test), the material exhibits:
[0082] •Negative Hall voltage, indicating electron-dominated conduction.
[0083] •High mobility (e.g., -2123.54 cm2 / V s in lab samples).
[0084] •Low resistivity (0.0001296 Ω· cm), consistent with semiconductive behavior.
[0085] •Significant density of charge carriers (~2.267 x 1010• cm'3).
[0086] These metrics confirm the invention as a viable candidate for passive electromagnetic systems and ambient energy manipulation technologies. 5.5. Applications
[0087] The doped glass can be shaped into tiles, plates, or aerial structures and deployed in: Wireless energy relay stations, without external power or batteries, biomedical prosthetics (e.g., pacemakers or implants powered by ambient fields), aerospace electron harvesting units, prior to the asteroid belt or Van Allen belts(long term), desalination systems with simultaneous energy capture via hybrid modular cubes(medium / long term), electromobility platforms, including maglev-inspired frictionless supports.
