    "goal": "Generate usable energy from water (atomic/zero-point energy) to replace conventional fuels",
    "problem_addressed": "Carbon emissions, energy scarcity, CO_2, oxygen depletion and pollution",
    "concept_summary": "The invention describes a plasmoid-based \"Thunderstorm Generator\" that allegedly converts water (protium) into atomic or zero-point energy through vortex dynamics, shockwave generation and exotic transmutation processes. The system is presented as a retrofit for internal-combustion engines, a power-plant concept and a spacecraft launch-pad technology.",
