Dan Dial’s Patents

Exploring Four Decades of Innovation in Energy and Matter

When we launched Dan Dial Tech, we knew we wanted to highlight the breadth of Dan’s work — and the 13 patents he’s received over the years tell that story well.

Dan’s lifelong research into the interaction between energy and matter has led to groundbreaking devices across disciplines: from neon light therapy to advanced electric motors, piezoelectric systems, hydrogen reformers, and fluid dynamics.

A Legacy of Innovation

  • Patent #5,824,024
    Dan’s first patent applied neon light technology to reduce the effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.).

    His key discovery: it’s not the intensity of the light, but the angle of incidence that mimics reflected natural light and impacts mood.

  • Patent #6,375,412 B1
    An improved Tesla-inspired pump and turbine design that uses Van der Waals forces - the attractive forces that bind matter for more efficient flow.

  • Patent #6,779,964 B2
    Further developing fluid dynamics systems, this turbine design builds on the previous pump patent to enhance performance and power generation.

In 2008, Dan began consulting for an investor in Dallas, Texas, which led to several patented electric motor systems. These designs are based on Dan’s core theory that the rate of magnetic flux is critical for motor efficiency.

Electric Motor Systems (2011–2013)

SRM Electric Motor
Patent #8,006,789 B2 (2011)

 Cutting-Edge Energy Research

  • Patent #9,245,704
    Patent #8,860,284
    This patent is based on a piezoelectric relay that uses a piezoelectric element instead of a piece of iron and electromagnet.

  • Patent #9,093,682
    Method of producing hydrogen for fuel cells out of fuel gas and water, improving clean energy potential.

  • Patent #7,341,424
    Improving Tesla’s disk turbine designs, Dan created a fluid dynamic system to take advantage of low flow environments with heavy particulates, reducing maintenance requirements and simplicity of design. This insight also lead to his disk pump design.
