Igniton (eNPQ Quasi-Particle) Technology

From CERN laboratories in the 1990s to modern, energy-efficient systems in Colorado

Igniton (eNPQ quasi-particle) technology was originally developed in the 1990s. In 1995, the lab was established at the CERN facility in Switzerland, with much of the hardware to verify and measure the eNPQ quasi-particle — named “ignitons” — rented from CERN. The current operation is in Colorado.

The component stages of the eNPQ (Ignitons) characterization system are from the Swiss laboratories, used until two years ago when the necessary data on the nature of the quasi-particles and their industrial application had been collected. The current equipment was then designed, constructed, and established in Colorado.

Current ignitons concentration and stabilization equipment

Hot plasma was replaced by cold plasma — enabling far more energy-efficient and compact designs

  • High-vacuum cold plasma with coherent photonic stream complex

    using Si-wafers with quantum wellnano-layers

  • Direct igniton deposition equipment

    focusing on protons’ grayperipheral region

  • Computer control unit

    and vacuum plasma chambers

  • Direct igniton deposition

    into protons in the molecule mix
