Alexander Yekimovskikh, the Director
General of his own firm “Lviv Souvenirs”, fully corresponds to the image of real
inventor . He speaks hurriedly , always with many ideas, plans and projects on
his mind. By the way, those ideas and plans enter his head in his sleep. He
possesses his own outlook upon the world and notices what others disregard and
so not only in the technical area. He believes that one of his inventions – the
Yekimovskikh’s Thermogenerator – can save the gas for the country for at least UAH
20 billion! Yet, the thermogenerator is but one amidst his other inventions.
Zerkalo Nedeli: Mr. Alexander, they say souvenirs are your hobby?
Alexander Yekimovskikh: Yes, duplicating of
orders,medals,seals,cold weapon... In older times I would have probably become
a money forger (laughs)
I was born and brought up in Sverdlovsk (nowadays Yekaterinburg). When
still a schoolboy I had always won art exhibitions prizes. Serving as a Red
Army private I arranged art studios where we produced souvenirs. After the
military service I moved to Lviv.
I had been
working for the Railway Company since 1977, but I did not quit the hobby. I had
to be combining everything with working for the operations section. They had
charged me with an assignment at the local Komsomol Committee and I had to form
a troop fighting the Social property pilfering in the region.
Zerkalo Nedeli: ... and you took up the task enthusiastically?
A.Y.: Well, the troop I had formed had existed for
10 years and acknowledged to be the best in Ukraine and the USSR. All the media
were writing about us then.
I might have remained threatener to
all the pilferers unless there had been a dramatic accident. Back in 1985 I
took a 5 kilometre ride on a car roof of the stealers we were chasing. When the
automobile braked I went down on the ground and got seriously injured. Doctors
found I had had a concussion of the brain, a lapse of memory and a partial loss
of the sight.
ZN: But it all turned out to have been the case when there is no bad
without something good coming your way, too?
A.Y.: The docs succeded in re-establishing my
memory, although they had been afraid that I would have ended up a degrade,
which is the most predictible aftermath of such tramas as mine were.But my case
was quite the contrary. It was then when I – let’s say- woke up and found
myself an inventor.
I had been shared more generously than Isaac Newton with his famous
apple. I had to arrange all the necessary papers for my invalidity and got down
to what I had previously treated as a mere hobby, that is souvenirs and my
inventions.
I had launched souvenir production
within the frames of the joint Soviet-Polish enterprise “Ukrapol” in 1989. It
was the first joint Ukrainian-Polish company in the USSR in those times. In
February 1991 the Lviv Souvenirs Ltd was formed I have been its Director General
ever since.
We produced such precise immitations that I ought to have been burned
alive in the Middle Ages. Coins, rare medals, seals and cold weapon – in metal
and ceramics – the rarities from the Ermitage were made inexpensive and
available for everyone.
ZN: The Perpetual Mobile, every inventor’s dream... Have you endeavoured
to construct one?
A.Y.: I have . Gave up in a year. Besides that, I
had invented the method of reproduction of frescoes with the help of a casual
printer in 1996. Those immitations are exposable to the 100% humidity and the
temperature range from –30°C up to 130°C during the period of a hundred years!
This is my know-how and it’s similar to none in the whole world. That same year
I had invented – one more know-how of mine – the method of projection of printer inks upon any relief and spheric
surfaces. My “frescoes” are ten times less expensive than any others in Europe.
When the Pope was visiting Ukraine I produced the matrix for church
candles with the Holy Father’s image. Later I went to Germany and came back
with 15,000 units of Berlin views portrayed in ceramics.
Yet, that is not that... I have
managed to find out what the secret of the world famous blue ceramics products
of the British firm “Wedgewood” was. This recipe has been concealed for
hundreds of years. It is but the firm and myself who know the method.
ZN: One of your inventions promises a new generation of the organic
technology to the mankind.
A.Y.: Yes, we now may be speaking about the
technology of shapes in high-precision 3-Dimensional graphic relief
construction . It is possible to manufacture cliches for polygraphy , office
and art print. This technology is rapid
and inexpensive , but capable of serving at mints as well as being applied in
jeweller’s craft.
The graphic image can even be sketched with a pen on a sheet of
paper and , by means of the exlusive polymer, projected into a relief graphic
image. The rapidness and precision of such performance is much higher than such
task accomplished with the use of the PC methods , whereas the prime cost would
be a way lower...
ZN: Few years ago there were tons of ads offering ultra-violet emitters for
a rent.
A.Y.: Right. I had invented the powerful and
portable voltage source for quartz ultra-violet emitters for the bactericidal
medicinal application. I purchased 500 quartz lamps for my own money and turned
them into 500 ultra-violet emission units . As it progressed I offered the
emitters for a rent, which was 3 UAH per 24 hours with your home cleansed away
from the infectuous bacteria. I presented 50 lamps to the Charity fund “Galychyna”
to be later distributed among the hospitals around the region. Another 10 were
granted to the tuberculous infirmary where they stand in greatest demand. There
was a revision conducted some time later and it proved no tuberculosis bacilli
in the hospital quarters.
ZN: Well, then where does the idea of the most fabulous invention of yours
come from? Talking about the thermogenerator, so called Yekimovskikh’s burner.
A.Y.: I came across the idea of manufacturing
porcelaine miniatures . Baking them in large furnaces is a very complex and time-taking
procedure. Thus I came up with a miniature furnace for the ceramics baking on a
casual gas cooker.
I had been testing various alloys and resulted in the construction
allowing one to get one’s gas cooker ring to heat up to + 1350°C, that is the
temperature of the porcelain baking and at which all the color metals except
platinum melt down. Imagine your gold, copper, brass melting within few minutes
right down on the cooker ring.
It will
take you applying the forced air supply system in order to reach the necessary
temperature at jewel refectories. Water from the humid air being supplied along
with the gas through pipes is decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen and lends to
the full gas combustion. This is how I have acquired that additional temperature.
Normally
when the gas is burning the oxygen from the air a person breathes in gets taken
away. This side effect can be reduced to the minimum when you begin to use my
thermogenerators.
Besides
that the red hot metallic disk in the place of an ordinary burner has at the
same time become a ppowerful infra-red emitter. Indeed this is a domestic
imitation of the sun with no harmful ultra-violet rays alongside. The ordinary
burner spreads its warmth only upwards whereas my sun does in every direction”
ZN: Is this invention patented?
A.Y.: The method and the invention is my
know-how. However, one may patent only one’s models. About 25 industrial models
have been designed for the household application on all the modifications of
kitchen gas cookers and gas stoves.
In 2004
I launched the enterprise “Teplotsentr Akademia Ltd” for introduction of all my
inventions into the serial usage. All the most inexpensive and affordable for
the Ukrainians infra-red emitters will be put into mass production. The price
of one such unit should not exceed UAH 25 with such an emitter costing from 100
to 600 EUROS in Germany. The rest of the models are going to be manufactured at
individual orders only.
ZN: Are there any analogues of your catalysts in the world?
A.Y.: I have not invented the catalytic
combustion, but merely built it up to the standard kitchen gas cooker. With the
efficiency of one about 50-55% the efficiency of my device nearly reaches 100%.
They use up the maximum amount of energy there is to be taken from the gas. We
can reduce the gas consumption in the country 2-3 times less, and then, I think
our own resources of the blue fuel will suit enough for meeting the needs of
the Ukrainians. The scientists from the university “Lvivska Politekhnika” have
proved that the installation of the my burners on the gas cookers throughout Ukraine
will save about UAH 20 billion only boiling water. When they calculated the
amount of the gas combustion energy consumed on heating, cooking and washing,
etc...
ZN: Do the authorities know about your invention?
A.Y.: The problem is that our government
alters too frequently. I informed the Cabinet and other concerned authorities
about the results of my investigations when Yanukovich has still been a Prime
Minister. They promised to help me to launch the device into mass production,
but only when the elections went by. However, that government lost those
elections.
I
appealed to the new authorities. Tymoshenko’s government regarded my proposals
and promised to assist at every level. The reply from Naftogas with Nemchenko’s
signature arrived promising they should urgently install my catalysts at
consumers’ homes in order to save the gas, but Nemchenko has also been
displaced.
They
offered me a list of enterprises in Lviv suitable for the production of my
generators when Tymoshenko was still at power. I have attended them all and
chosen those where we might produce a million generators a month, but marketing
is a problem. I need either a centralised state order or a serious business
partner. I am willing and able to only produce but sell.
Now the
negotiations with the government have begun their third round and there is no
telling when it is going to end. Everybody is too busy with the elections promising
their help and support only when it is all over and they have won!
More
still, I already have another proposal to our government...
ZN: Is it really a perpetual mobile?
A.Y.: Almost. I have already appealed to
Mr.President with the offer of manufacturing and istalling the alternative
autonomous super inexpensive sources of energy. I mean mini-hydropower plants,
gas power plants and water and coal power plants .
My own
autonomous construction of a mini-hydropower plant can decently compete with
the world alternative energy sources producers for its high capacity,
reliability, simplicity and low cost.
You
don’t have to construct any dams and flood the land, but it is possible to
adjust my invention on a river or a cannal and the water flow will take care of
everything.
ZN: What do inventors dream of?
A.Y.: I simply analyse everything around me.
The world around me is just like a large meccano you can put together or
scatter, and put back together in a different fashion. Parfumer who senses its
components. My dream is to build a temple on water where everything would
revolve inside and which would consume the atmosphere energy. No artificial
influence. The energy is present everywhere. You only have to discover it and
set it free.
But my
fondest dream is to build Archimedesland. The Park where the kid might see all
the most remarkable achievements of humanity. All working patterns of the
contemporary machins, everything the man has invented for the three millenia.
