| 20080253010 | Distributive Optical Energy System - A system for generating and transmitting energy and methods of manufacturing and using the same. The system for generating and transmitting energy includes prisms, lenses, mirrors, optical cables or optic conduits, heat filters, light filters, and electricity filters. The lenses comprise lens systems to capture electromagnetic signals (wave and particle) coming from any source of radiant energy, from one or more sources of light, from one or more reflective surfaces, or from any electromagnetic wave, long or short. Upon receiving the electromagnetic signals, the lens system multiple n times the intensity of the signals by a method of infinitesimal folding of signals, a method basically consisting of an over-concentration of signals folding onto themselves tenth to millionth times in order to produce substantially concentrated signals and to project the substantially concentrated signals into one single optical cable. These substantially concentrated signals are transmitted to long distances as they are reflected through the interior of these optical cables or any especial optic conduits (in a conceptual manner similar to signal reflection in fiber optics cables). At the distal ends of the optical cable three filters will extract heat, white light and electricity. | 10-16-2008 |
