Patent attributes
Power cable shields having a monomolecular carbon-based film are placed around electrical power lines to reduce power losses and enhance transmission of electricity. The shield may be a solid metal tube or a material wrapped around a power cable. The monomolecular carbon-based film is deposited on the shield, for example, using a reactor that includes a bed of silica coupled to a diesel engine to produce a stream of dehydrated hydroxyl radicals that become hydrated due to reactions of supercritical water and muon methyl radicals. A shielded electrical power includes a shield positioned around and fully enclosing the power line to prevent atmospheric loss of electrical power. An existing power line can be retrofitted by placing one or more surface treated sleeves around the existing power line. Periodically spaced apart magnets can be positioned within the electrical wire shield to further boost power and voltage through the electrical power line.
