There are no new elements in inventions, rather known elements are combined in new ways. An invention improves performance versus cost through combining known chemical elements with energy efficiency elements, resulting in over 70% energy efficiency converting electricity to high-heating fuel. The main cost improvement comes from reducing electric energy costs due to the substantial boost in energy efficiency allowing one nuclear plant instead of two.

1. WHAT’S NEW ?

3. There are NO NEW ELEMENTS
in any invention
What is new is how known elements are
COMBINED (CONNECTED)

4. Differentiation of an Invention from a Design
• An Invention materially or well noticeably
improves “PERFORMANCE vs. COST”
value
• A Design is a COMPROMISE between
performance and cost

5. In the Fuelcor’s inventions:
• Performance improvements emanate
from the new combination of the known
chemical elements with the energy
efficiency improvement elements.
• Resulting energy efficiency of converting
electric energy into high heating value of
fuels is over 70%.

6. Main cost improvement comes from
reduction in cost of the source of electric
energy due to substantial increase in
energy efficiency.
As an example, only one EPR nuclear
power plant will be necessary instead of
two without this invention.
