Nuclear-powered batteries, with their ability to provide steady and long-lasting energy, are gaining traction for applications where conventional batteries may not suffice, especially in extreme environments or remote locations.

This announcement comes at a time when interest in nuclear battery technologies is rapidly increasing, following innovations like those recently unveiled by Infinity Power. The Infinity Power atomic battery was recognized for its industry-leading efficiency, showcasing advancements in long-lasting energy solutions that align with the vision of the Kronos-Yasheng collaboration. Infinity Power’s breakthrough, which focuses on ultra-high-efficiency energy generation from small atomic sources, provides an exciting backdrop for the Kronos-Yasheng nuclear battery’s potential to redefine energy usage in critical sectors.

Key Details of the Collaboration:

Patent Filing Strategy: With this provisional patent now filed in the U.S., the companies are preparing to expand their intellectual property strategy. Yasheng Group is set to handle the filing of the nuclear battery patent in China, while Kronos Advanced Technologies Inc. continues to lead efforts in the United States. Both companies will bear the costs of filing in their respective jurisdictions.

Royalties and Revenue Sharing: Under the terms of the partnership, both companies will benefit from the commercial success of the nuclear battery. Kronos Advanced Technologies Inc. will receive 10% of the royalties generated by Yasheng Group in China, while Yasheng Group will receive 10% of the royalties from Kronos's U.S. operations.

About the Nuclear Battery:

This small nuclear battery will utilize the energy from the beta decay of a radioactive isotope, such as Nickel-63, and converts it into electrical energy using semiconductor technology. Key features include:

Energy Conversion: Advanced semiconductor materials efficiently capture and convert beta particles into electrical energy.

Safety and Encapsulation: A robust radiation-shielding housing ensures safety and prevents any radiation leakage.

Applications: The nuclear battery is ideally suited for long-term, maintenance-free energy needs in remote sensing devices, space exploration technologies, medical devices, and military equipment.

Next Steps:

Both companies are now working toward filing a full utility patent in the United States and completing the corresponding patent application in China. These efforts will strengthen the protection of their shared intellectual property while accelerating the commercialization of this promising energy solution.

About Yasheng Group

Yasheng Group is a Colorado-based corporation with historical high-tech agriculture operations in China. The company is committed to advancing technological innovations, fostering collaborations, and investing in groundbreaking research across multiple sectors

About Kronos Advanced Technologies Inc.

Kronos Advanced Technologies Inc. is a Nevada-based company specializing in developing cutting-edge technology solutions. With a focus on innovative products, Kronos seeks to address the evolving needs of various industries, ensuring sustainability and efficiency.

The Company was initially founded in 2002 and funded by the U.S. military to develop electrostatic air movers. Kronos Advanced Technologies Inc. filed about 50 patent applications in the past and had total of 25 issued patents. These patents encompass a range of technologies primarily focused on air movement, filtration, and purification systems. The company, known for its innovations in air movement and filtration technologies, has an extensive patent portfolio that reflects its focus on advanced consumer electronics and medical-grade air purification products. Eventually, the Company moved into the consumer air purification business. It began operations as a product development company that invented and significantly changed how air is moved, filtered, and sterilized. Historically, Kronos has focused on developing, marketing, and selling the Company's proprietary air movement and purification technology. Serving the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) market, Kronos technology uses state-of-the-art high-voltage patented processes without the use of traditional porous HEPA filters. Kronos-based products move air silently, filter, sterilize, and purify the air while dramatically reducing energy consumption to half of a 60-watt light bulb.

Kronos devices can be variable in shape or size and, therefore, have the potential to be scaled down for air purification in cars or scaled up in size for industrial and hazardous gas destruction. The technology is currently being implemented in multiple standalone products for businesses, homes, and vehicles of all types -to move, sterilize and filter air, including removing allergens down to 14.6 nanometers, passing through our patented technology -replacing expensive outdated passive HEPA and other filtration type systems. There are broad ranges of additional markets for standalone and embedded Kronos CORE technology-based devices. Examples of immediately addressable markets include schools, universities, healthcare facilities, operating rooms, manufacturing clean rooms, and the cabins of automobiles and commercial aircraft.

Kronos published research about the effectiveness of Kronos Patented technology on air disinfection n (e.g., microorganism destruction) by demonstrating the high efficacy of Kronos® Technology-based air purifiers in capturing and destruction of various types of microorganisms (including Corona Viruses) in different environmental settings back in 2008. Results of this research showed that Electrostatic Air Filtration and Purification systems based on Kronos technology demonstrated high capturing and destruction efficiency for different types of microorganisms, bacteria, and viruses, and can be successfully used for disinfection of air in real word environmental settings, including hospital facilities both with and without the presence of people.

BusinessWeek called Kronos air purifiers "VIRUS KILLER" in 2005.
