PATENT STATUS:
Patent Pending — USPTO Provisional Application No. 63/984,410
Filed: February 17, 2026
Inventor: Stephen Michael Bonney
Assignee: Valor Infrastructure Holdings LLC
LISTING TYPE:
Available for Non-Exclusive Licensing (filtration/air purification field of use)
ASKING PRICE:
Open to offers — licensing structure preferred. Contact for terms.
DESCRIPTION:
A self-powered atmospheric particulate filtration system that eliminates conventional HEPA and mechanical filters entirely. The system uses engineered phononic crystal arrays to create acoustic bandgap zones that physically separate airborne particulates — PM2.5, PM10, bioaerosols, allergens, and ultrafine particles — from air streams using sound wave physics, not physical filter media.
Power is supplied by integrated piezoelectric transducers (PZT) that harvest ambient mechanical vibration from the operating environment — HVAC ductwork vibration, building structural vibration, or equipment vibration. The system requires zero external power in most installation environments.
KEY ADVANTAGES OVER EXISTING TECHNOLOGY:
- No filter replacement. Ever. The system has no consumable components.
- No moving parts. Zero mechanical failure modes.
- Self-powered via piezoelectric energy harvesting from ambient vibration.
- Retrofit-compatible with existing HVAC ductwork and air handling infrastructure.
- Solid-state architecture enables semiconductor-style manufacturing cost reduction at scale.
- Applicable to commercial HVAC, hospital/medical-grade air, semiconductor cleanroom, residential, and industrial environments.
UNDERLYING SCIENCE:
Phononic crystals are periodic elastic structures that create acoustic bandgaps — frequency ranges where sound (phonon) propagation is forbidden. This is the acoustic equivalent of photonic crystals used in fiber optics. The physics is well-established with 40+ peer-reviewed publications supporting the core mechanisms. The inventive step is the novel application of phononic bandgap engineering to airborne particulate separation combined with piezoelectric self-powering — a combination not previously disclosed in the prior art.
MARKET OPPORTUNITY:
- Global air filtration market: $16+ billion (2025), growing 6-8% annually
- HEPA filter replacement market alone exceeds $4 billion annually
- Semiconductor cleanroom air management: $2+ billion
- Medical/hospital air purification: $1.5+ billion
- Indoor air quality (residential/commercial): fastest-growing segment driven by post-COVID awareness
TARGET LICENSEES:
HVAC manufacturers (Carrier, Trane, Daikin, Johnson Controls), air purification companies (Honeywell, IQAir, Molekule), semiconductor equipment manufacturers (Applied Materials, Lam Research), medical facility equipment suppliers, cleanroom integrators.
LICENSING TERMS:
