Difference between

patent application &

previous technolgy

Previous technology (GB408690A, steam turbine): – Steam flows one single loop around a rotor. https://worldwide.espacenet.com/patent/search/family/010282533/publication/GB408690A?q=pn%3DGB408690A

New technology (WO2025262339, steam turbine): – Steam flows two, or more loops around a rotor. https://worldwide.espacenet.com/patent/search/family/094382820/publication/WO2025262339A1?q=pn%3DWO2025262339A1

Why does the number of loops matter?

(1) More loops mean … (2) a longer steam expansion distance … … through the porous metal. This means the following can be handled… (3) … higher pressure drops (ΔP). (4) … higher temperature drops (ΔT). This means this turbine type (porous turbine)… (5) … can compete with existing turbine types. This means this turbine type (porous turbine) in some cases will be… (6) … less good than existing turbine types. (7) … better than existing turbine types. Questions for the next step: – In which products will porous turbines perform better? – Will customers soon demand these products? – Which manufacturer will fill this demand? @ Manufacturers: Which manufacturer will be the fastest at identifying the products, where this new technology performs better (and adds more customer value)? – You? – Your competitors?

Quick description of uses for

porous turbines:

– Steam turbines. – Conversion of waste heat into electricity. – Useful for vehicles and electricity generation.

Value added

(generalized description):

VALUE ADDED TO CUSTOMER: (1) Improved fuel efficiency of: … ICEs (internal combustion engines), … gas turbines. (2) Autonomy away from charging points. (3) Other values (see examples further down).

Patent licenses:

Patent licenses: (1) Patents are valid during 20 years. (2) Do you believe porous turbines will add customer value during these 20 years? (3) If “yes”, then part of this value could generate patent license revenues. (4) If “yes”, then these patent license revenues would motivate investments. Deadline for filing national patent applications: – 2027-04-24 (this date avoids rush work) – 2027-07-24 (formal deadline)

Value added:

(per specific product):

HIGHLY ATTRACTIVE USES OF POROUS TURBINES (for generating electricity on board plug-in electric vehicles):

Application:	Comments:
Large ships	– Improved fuel efficiency.
Trucks (mobile emergency recharging of battery electric vehicles/trucks/buses/cars).	– Fuel efficient onboard electricity generation. – Autonomy beyond charging point network.
Heavy trucks, long-distance trucks.	Fuel efficient onboard electricity generation from locally available fuels. Allows truck to recharge out of range from regular charging points.

ATTRACTIVE USES OF POROUS TURBINES (for generating electricity on board plug-in electric vehicles):

Application:	Comments:
Coaches and buses (long distance).	Fuel efficient onboard electricity generation from locally available fuels. Allows truck to recharge out of range from regular charging points.
Non-electrified trains.	Improved fuel efficiency.

POSSIBLE USES OF POROUS TURBINES (for generating electricity on board plug-in electric vehicles):

Application:	Comments:
