Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a Nuclear Accelerated Generator?
A: The Nuclear Accelerated Generator, NAG, is an entirely new form of atomic
battery. The NAG represents a totally new type of nuclear power
conversion technology. It is smaller, safer, and far more efficient than
any conventional nuclear power generator now in existence. It can be
used for virtually any power application from very large to small,
handheld devices.
Q: How does the NAG technology
compare to current RTG technology (thermocouples)?
A: The Nuclear Accelerated Generator, NAG, is an entirely new form of atomic
battery. The NAG represents a totally new type of nuclear power
conversion technology. It is smaller, safer, and far more efficient than
any conventional nuclear power generator now in existence. It can be
used for virtually any power application from very large to small,
handheld devices.
Q: Are there other types of atomic
batteries in the marketplace?
A: Yes, there are. However, none of them come close to achieving the
efficiency or size reduction inherent in the NAG design.
Q: Are other atomic battery
technologies less costly than the NAG?
A: No! In all atomic batteries the isotope is by far the most costly
component. The unique design of the NAG allows it to use less isotopic
fuel than any other atomic battery to produce the required power.
Q: What is the life of the device?
A: This will depend on a number of factors. At present we are looking at
a device to last from 3 - 100 years and a fuel source that may last a
long as 400 years. Different NAG applications will require different
power specifications and, therefore, will need different isotopic fuel.
Different isotopes have different half-lives.
Q: Is this technology costly?
A: Yes, but not overly so. The NAG technology represents a
stunning new form of power generation that can produce uninterrupted
power for many years without maintenance or replacement; nothing like it
exists anywhere. The two largest cost factors are the isotopic fuel and
the engineering that goes into each application. As with any new
technology, the cost of the isotope production will decrease
dramatically as demand increases. The engineering costs are fairly
fixed.
Can you get a custom-built product?
Absolutely. One of the greatest attributes of the NAG is that it can be scaled up or down to meet virtually any application under a wide variety of hostile operating conditions.
Q: Is the NAG technology safe?
A: Yes, very safe! Close human
contact will not cause any problems. It is not possible for this device
to meltdown or to emit radiation or to make it into an explosive device.
Q: Could this technology be used to power automobiles?
A: Not at this time. Plans are in
the works, however, to develop the NAG device to power cars, trucks,
ships and even planes. It is well within the realm of possibility to
accomplish all these things and much more.
Q:
Has Executive Engineering applied for a patent?
A: Yes, and it has been fully
approved. The patent covers thousands of subjects on what this device
can do and how it is made. The patent covers the entire process of NAG
power generation.
Q:
Are we looking for investors?
A: Yes, we are actively seeking
qualified investors to fully develop the potential of this technology.
Q:
Are we going to stop global warming?
A: We sure are going to try!
Utilization of the NAG technology would considerably reduce the
dependence on fossil fuels for a wide variety of industries.
