A forgotten invention, a living heritage – invention – Europe

When the stone inspires the electron – Forgotten invention, living heritage –

The story of René Temey’s driver’s driver’s glass does not start in the laboratory, but in the dust of the sites. Similarly, Former stonemason, sculptor and companion, he sought to shape matter with more freedom. Therefore, THE Temey processdesigned to replace concrete with a more sustainable. In addition, economical material, was an intuitive response to the limits of industry. Moreover, Rejected, ignored, but never abandoned.

By transforming the ashes of recycling centers into vitrified cobblestones with black granite aesthetics. However, René opened a path to recycled materials at high potential. However, Then came the crazy idea: make the glass driver. Similarly, And not just a driver … but Superconductor at room temperature. Twenty years of research, an improbable alliance of silica, copper (replacing money), and technical crafts.

Science behind intuition – Forgotten invention, living heritage –

The CNRS report forgotten invention, living heritage – confirms the validity of the material: a Porous glass structurecapable of transporting electricity without corrupting. even in corrosive environments. If its industrialization was hampered, it is not by default of performance, but by lack of legal and economic resources. The patent? Too risky. Disclosure? Too vulnerable.

René chooses the secret. He offered samples To researchers. industrialists, without ever making the heart of the process public – a strategic decision, dictated by the wisdom of a lonely inventor.

The inheritance of a hidden invention

This invention has not only left technical traces. She marked the trajectory of her son. Peterwhich today testifies to courage and disillusions that those who create official circuits wear on the sidelines. Because without recognition, without echo, creative energy can go out. Forgetting settles. The disease too.

But knowledge has not disappeared: The samples are therethe notebooks exist. And if one day. the company deigns listening forgotten invention, living heritage – to the voices which create without noise, the driver’s glass of Temey could rebornwith new metals, in new contexts. Because its properties remain relevant in the large quest for Sustainable electric transport.
