A research team led by Professor Hwang Seung Kook of the Department of Information and Communication AI Engineering at Kyungnam University recently developed “a power generation system of magnetic induction amplication by quantum fluctuation (quantum power generation technology)”.

This technology is to produce high efficiency electric energy with low input of power.

Hwang’s team, for the commercialization of the technology, signed a business agreement with TRC (The Ruby Co.), a company that specializes in making large-sized power generators.

With the signing of the agreement, the research team at a domestic university embarks upon the commercialization of quantum power generation technology at a time when environmental friendly energy is growing its importance worldwide.

Recently eco-friendly energy is becoming more and more important because of carbon neutrality policy, RE 100 (procurement of energy necessary to make products with 100% renewable energy), SMR (Small Modular Reactor), and so forth.

Professor Hwang suggested that application of quantum power generation technology to the existing power generators installed in hospitals, semiconductor factories, etc. reduces fuel and cost, and makes possible production of environmental friendly energy.

He forecasts that quantum power generator will satisfy the policy of “safe and eco-friendly” energy compared to other environmental friendly energy sources.

The signing ceremony was attended by Professor Hwang and president of TRC, Jo Ok Rae.

President of the company Jo has been an expert in efficiency improvement, energy saving and cooling for 40 years.

The team succeeded in developing a world’s first “power generation system of magnetic induction amplication by quantum fluctuation”.

 A research team led by Professor Hwang Seung Kook of the Department of Information and Communication AI Engineering at Kyungnam University (President Park Jae Gyu) developed a world’s first “power generation system of magnetic induction amplication by quantum fluctuation”, which produces electric energy in an ultra-high efficient way with the structure of higher energy output than the input. The team published paper on it.

This outcome is a remarkable achievement of a research team at domestic university. It heralds a new era of K-energy powerhouse by transcending classical physics theory that thermal energy and engine has dealt with and laid the foundation for the Industrial Revolution.

The energy utilization technology using quantum fluctuation which can transmit energy, convert it in various ways and expand it has diverse applications and opens up new possibilities for energy systems that can be applied to industries and society as a whole as well as individuals.

※ Quantum fluctuation is a temporary change in the amount of energy at a point in space in accordance with Uncertainty Principle of Werner Heisenberg, who won Nobel Prize in Physics in 1932.

Compared to conventional motors, the quantum power generator of magnetic induction power generation system presented in the paper does not show the problem of overheating when it rotates. Once it rotates, it continues to revolve without input of additional power, and demonstrates a speed of 5000~8000 rpm or more with an input of 1.5V battery (AAA).

While existing motors reach a boiling point of motor body only after 15 minutes under load application, the quantum generator does not exhibit any temperature rise for 48 hours.

A person from this research describes this outcome as a milestone in the world pf physics. “It truly has potential for growth and excellent competitiveness as eco-friendly and highly efficient electric energy. We will lay the foundation for global sales through acceleration of the establishment of related infrastructure including training of export experts.

His team successfully developed a quantum dynamo which simultaneously functions as a motor and a power generator without load.

A research team, led by Professor Hwang Seung Kook of the Department of Information and Communication AI Engineering at Kyungnam University, revealed on May 14th that his team has succeeded in developing a quantum dynamo product that can work as a motor and, at the same time, produce electricity without overload.

Hwang’s team announced the development of “quantum power generation technology” on December 29th, 2021, and signed an agreement with TRC (The Ruby co.) Electric Engineering Service Company on making ultra-high efficient quantum power generator. The first product for commercialization of the technology is a quantum dynamo, the characteristic of which is to generate electricity without overload through ways of quantum array of existing motors.

Normally a motor and a generator are used separately. If used together, they stop working due to overcharge caused by load, which renders simultaneous use of them impossible.

The motor converts electric energy into kinetic energy when the coils, helped by the power of magnetic field, rotate a rotor. The magnetic field is created by electric current passing through the coils of the rotor. The generator works the opposite way of the motor in terms of energy conversion.  

A quantum dynamo is a new type of power generator-motor which rotates when power is injected into the motor itself and keeps generating power without a load phenomenon when load is applied immediately after power input. A test result proves it.

This opens the way to transforming existing motors, which have decreasing efficiency due to overload, into ultra-high efficient ones.

The automobiles so far produced range from internal combustion engine (ICE) car which uses fossil fuels, hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and Plugin Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) which use both fossil fuels and batteries, electric vehicle (EV) which uses batteries, and fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) which uses hydrogen and batteries.

The quantum dynamo, if equipped in electric vehicles, distinguishes itself from the one in existing vehicles in the following aspects:

First, if charged only once, the dynamo continues self-generating of its power without external power supply. This enables discharge and charge of power simultaneously while driving.

Second, it has simple structure of quantum dynamo and battery.

Third, it excels in safety and price competitiveness compared to lithium batteries since it can use alkaline batteries of existing ICE cars.

Fourth, while existing EVs need to be charged repeatedly with electricity made from fossil fuels, vehicles equipped with the quantum dynamo need to be charged only once and do not require further supply of power.

It is expected that the quantum dynamo that Professor Hwang’s team developed can be one of   environmental friendly C-Tech solutions that solves climate change, which is very necessary at this juncture to achieve Net Zero by 2050.

Other applications include drones, electric kickboards, vacuum cleaners as well as UAM (Urban Air Mobility) which receives a lot of attentions as means of future innovative transportations. It seems that the technology will attract interests of businesses and users in these related industries, too.
