TARPON SPRINGS, Fla., Aug. 14, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brian Buckley, Sales Manager of Thunder Energies Corporation, a publicly traded company with stock symbol (OTC:TNRG), announces that Dr. Ruggero Santilli, the Company's Chief Scientist, has filed a patent application entitled “Directional Production of Composite Particles," U.S. serial no. 62/518,047, Docket no. TEC-0103, for the protection of the Company's directional source of neutrons for the detection of concealed nuclear material and other industrial applications (http://www.thunder-energies.com/index.php/ct-menu-item-18/11-articles/19-article-10).
Dr. Santilli states: "Neutrons are synthesized from hydrogen atoms in the core of stars. Following decades of mathematical, theoretical, and experimental studies initiated when I was in the faculty of Harvard University during the 1980's under support from the Department of Energy, we have achieved for the first time the laboratory synthesis of neutrons from a hydrogen gas, which achievement is now part of scientific history (see the recent experimental confirmations and references quoted therein http://www.santilli-foundation.org/docs/122015010-final-07-04-17.pdf)."

"Following the above cutting edge technological advances," Dr. Santilli continues, "we have succeeded in producing neutrons in a given direction, resulting in the novel Directional Neutron Source currently in production and for sale following an order with down payment from Europe (http://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2017/07/24/1056154/0/en/Thunder-Energies-Announces-a-Breakthrough-in-the-Neutron-Technology.html). The resulting low energy neutron gun is particularly suited for a variety of industrial applications, including: 1) The scanning of suitcases in airports for concealed nuclear material; 2) The irradiation of tunnels in mines to identify the presence and concentration of precious metals; 3) The probe of large welds in naval constructions; and other applications (http://thesiliconreview.com/magazines/thunder-energies-corporation-tec-is-a-new-pathway-for-development-in-cutting-edge-technology)."
