>COMPANY OVERVIEW
>
>The incorporation of Rhombic took place in the state of Nevada on
>February 26, 1987, by the predecessor company which was acquired by
>Rhombic Corporation on November 21, 1994. The Company has a total of
>29,000,000 shares issued and outstanding, of which 8.5 million are
>publicly traded and 20,500,000 are restricted, most of them for five
>years.
>
> Rhombic scientists have developed six different and ground breaking
>unique technologies and products:
>
> a.. Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC): Rockford Technology
>Associates, a wholly owned subsidiary of Rhombic Corporation has a
>royalty agreement with Daimler-Chrysler Aerospace (a company of the
>Daimler-Chrysler group) to market and manufacture the IEC technology to
>the world. The IEC is a new form of controlled fusion energy.
>
> b.. A patented diamond film forced diffusion: Through the company's
>diamond film doping process called "Forced Diffusion", the same etching
>process used to make the silicon pentium chip 1/4" square can be etched
>on an area the size of the head of a pin, theoretically making the
>diamond chip hundreds of times faster than silicon.
>
> c.. The Nuclear Battery - Nuclid Battery: Rhombic has acquired the
>Nuclear Battery - Nuclid Battery technology for the aerospace industry.
>The battery is a continuos power source for both near and outer space
>applications. Rhombic Corporation is on an ever expanding mission to
>bring the latest technology to the world into real world applications.
>
> d.. Diamond-Reinforced Flywheel Battery: The use of diamond layers
>instead of carbon filters to increase the power density for
>electromechanical energy storage in a Diamond Reinforced Flywheel
>Battery can greatly impact the world economy and environment.
>
> e.. DCM (Disperse Composite Material): The manufacturing of disperse
>composite materials (DCM) is according to the invention realized by a
>plasma processing of high efficiency, and has specific properties for
>high temperature superconductors.
>
> f.. RhoStar.com: A New Online Distribution Channel: A spin-off of
>Rhombic Corporation, RhoStar, is an online distribution channel offering
>product developers a self-selecting means to achieve faster market
>penetration. The customers become the distribution channel, and each
>party benefits. RhoStar will offer an innovative online distribution
>channel for software and information products. Their mission is to
>provide product developers and consumers with new and more powerful
>relationships. So RhoStar will offer a qualitatively distinct method for
>achieving rapid results. Initial products for this distribution channel
>will include the Rhombic Explorer, a brand new tool to search the Web.
>
>1. Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC)
>
>Rockford Technology Associates, a wholly owned subsidiary of Rhombic
>Corporation has a royalty agreement with Daimler-Chrysler Aerospace
>(DASA) (a company of the Daimler-Chrysler group) to market and
>manufacture the IEC technology to the world. The IEC is a new form of
>controlled fusion energy.
>
>DASA has begun a world wide marketing effort for the first IEC neutron
>generators to be produced at the Trauen plant in Germany.
>DaimlerChrysler Aerospace Center Trauen FusionStar IEC-PS1 point source
>neutron generator uses the spherical Inertial Electrostatic Confinement
>principle to produce a stable fusion grade plasma target.
>Deuterium-Deuterium collisions of beam-beam and beam-background ions
>occur to yield 2.45 MeV neutrons which escape isotropically.
>
>The advantage over the conventional neutron generator technology is
>longer life and lower costs. The neutron generating IEC chamber is a
>robust vacuum-sealed steel vessel containing a very robust electrode and
>high voltage feed-through assembly plus a better pump deuterium
>reservoir. The operational parameters are flexible and few. Control of
>the neutron output is automated and readily adjustable.
>
>2. A patented diamond film forced diffusion
>
> Diamond film development is in the initial stages that silicon was in
>during the 1960's. Considerable experimental work continues in producing
>film of consistence and purity. However, certain amounts are being sold
>yearly, mostly for hardening surfaces and for cutting tools.
>
> The most exciting prospects for diamond film in the future will be
>diamond film doped with certain elements such as boron, phosphorous, and
>lithium. The boron doped diamond will give the diamond film a positive
>charge. The phosphorous doped film a negative charge. Doping of diamond
>whether positive or negative lends the diamond film unusual qualities.
>
> Rhombic Corporation has the advantage of working directly with Boris
>Spitsyn, known as the founding father of diamond research. In 1991, a
>Rhombic principal was the first western scientist to visit the former
>Soviet Union's top secret weapon's laboratories at Arzamas 16 and
>Helyabinsk 70. He and other company scientists and engineers have used
>Dr. Spitsyn's diamond film to craft an electrical cell similar to solar
>cells that directly converts nuclear energy to electricity and allows
>for the development of portable nuclear power sources. The cell is the
>key to process known as "the nuclear lightbulb" which would produce
>electricity at least twice the efficiency as the current process.
>
> The opportunity is now in the possession: Rhombic has on staff several
>of the world's top scientists in a diamond film development. The company
>has completed a significant patent application evolving forced diffusion
>of impurities into diamond. The Company, in regard to the various
>applications of doped diamond film, is initiating other patent
>applications. Among these uses for consideration is a new generation of
>integrated circuits, high power diamond switches and diodes,
>transistors, diamond TV screens and computer monitors, and the
>interesting possibility of coloring ordinary diamonds blue, green,
>yellow, and even red.
>
> After developing methods of diffusing impurities into the diamond
>crystal lattice using the forced diffusion technique, considerable work
>has continued in the laboratory on the fusion of boron, nitrogen, and
>lithium into the diamond crystal. The results were so compelling that
>the company began a systematic study of diffusing into diamond other
>impurities such as oxygen, chlorine, nitrogen, and fluorine. Besides the
>success of introducing different elements into diamond, it was proved
>that forced diffusion is a practical commercial method, which can be
>implemented easily in the production process at low cost.
>
>Meanwhile Rhombic Corporation has announced that it has received the
>first Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) purification reports in
>reference to the purification of silicon carbide (SiC) wafers. According
>to Dr. Mark Prelas of the University of Missouri, these reports are
>promising and have demonstrated the reduction of impurities in all three
>categories for the cleansing of natural contaminates through the use of
>Rhombic's patented "Forced Diffusion" process.
>
>Tests are continuing on gallium nitride (GaN) wafers for the cleansing
>of natural contaminates. Gallium nitride is a blue laser generator. Both
>materials are light emitting diodes that can be modified to produce
>photovoltaic cells that assist in the conversion of ultraviolet light to
>electricity. These tests are being performed on silicon carbide and
>gallium nitrate wafers, which are widely used by the semiconductor and
>wafer industry. Successful cleansing of natural contaminates from the
>gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) wafers will result in
>longer lifespan wafers with greater effectiveness.
>
>Both types of wafers are being treated in preparation for distribution
>in commercial quantities. Rhombic's research and marketing focus is to
>penetrate the existing $7 billion silicon wafer and electronics market
>with a purified wafer line. According to the 1999 Semiconductor and
>Wafer Industry Report what is needed most in industry are wafers of
>larger size and purity. The report also states that silicon carbide is
>poised to take over large segments in high temperature and high power
>electronics.
>
>3. The Nuclear Battery - Nuclid Battery
>
>Radio nuclide batteries usually are very inefficient, heavy and
>expensive, but nevertheless are needed in space crafts and similar
>important applications. A remarkable reduction in weight and increase in
>efficiency is possible when the beta active nuclides (e.g. krypton-85 or
>argon-39) are exciting their own electrons in the narrow excimer band at
>a minimum of thermal losses and this radiation is converted in a high
>band gap photovoltaic layer (e.g. in p-n diamond) very efficiently into
>electricity (German Patent disclosure 196 02 875 Al). The electric power
>per weight compared with existing radio nuclide batteries can then be
>increased by a factor 10 to 50 and more. The disadvantage consists in
>the yet high price of the mentioned radio nuclides and in the high
>pressure of up to 100 bar and more for the gas that requires an
>expensive and heavy container.
>
>The mentioned disadvantages of the krypton-excimer battery are despite
>of the reached hitherto most compact radio nuclide battery (highest
>electric power per weight): high costs of the beta active nuclides, a
>residual (for krypton 85) vert kiw rest gamma emission, the problem of
>removal of the generated alkali metals after the beta decay: all these
>disadvantages can be avoided and an essential increase of the
>compactness of the battery can be reached, if - according to the
>invention - with solid beta emitters without any gamma emission is being
>worked which are a component of a dust plasma, beta electrons are
>emitted with a minimum of losses into an excimer active gas where the
>energy (of the beta electrons) is highly efficiently converted into a
>narrow band excimer radiation, which provides electric-energy in wide
>band gap photovoltaic layers.
>
>An especially high power density (electric power per weight) much higher
>than from before mentioned radio nuclide batteries without dust plasmas
>are being reached, e.g. a high power density can be further increased if
>e.g. instead of working at atmospheric pressure a higher one is used.
>E.g. at 10 atmospheres working pressure a battery to 1 kW is being
>produced with a weight of 1.5 kg. Thus these batteries according to the
>invention are called supercompact.
>
>4. Diamond-Reinforced Flywheel Battery
>
>The use of diamond layers instead of carbon fibers to reinforce high
>rotational velocity flywheels, operating in vacuum with inductive
>coupling should increase the power density for electromechanical energy
>storage by at least a factor of five - for batteries for automobiles or
>other storage systems. This is based on the rupture stress measured for
>present polycrystalline diamond. Based on a quantum mechanical theory,
>the rupture stress could be at three times higher. This theory agrees
>fairly well with the compressibility of single-crystal natural diamond
>measured during underground nuclear explosions.
>
>Few things would impact the world economy and environment as much as the
>development of a satisfactory method for storing large amounts of
>electrical energy both for portable applications, such as automobiles
>and satellites, and fixed appliances, such as electric power load
>leveling from the individual house to the utility level. Throughout the
>world, much work is being performed on improving electrochemical cells
>but without notable success. The hydrogen fuel cell, long used in space,
>is just now receiving its first tests in motor vehicles, but offers no
>great improvement on electrochemical batteries and requires a large and
>expensive infrastructure.
>
>Of greatest current interest for electric automobiles is
>electromechanical storage (a flywheel coupled to a motor-generator)
>which, with new technology, promises all the advantages of an
>all-electric automobile but with the performances of a gasoline-powered
>automobile.
>
>Carbon fiber technology, developed for high rotational velocity uranium
>enrichment centrifuges, has been used to produce prototypes of an
>automobile that was expected to be ready for the market in 1998. Cars
>equipped with this "rotation battery" are projected to demonstrate
>performance (speed and range) equal to that of a standard mid-engined
>automobile and quite superior to that of ones with electrochemical
>batteries. Electrochemical batteries last only about 40,000 km, while
>the rotation battery should last 320,000 km.
>
>5. DCM (Disperse Composite Material)
>
>The manufacturing of fine dispersed materials of the size form
>nanometers with a homogeneous interior and an additional coating is
>according to the invention realized by a plasma processing of high
>efficiency. These disperse composite materials (DCM) have specific
>properties of abrasion or wear resistance, friction, catalytic action or
>sintering e.g. for high temperature superconductors.
>
>The invention refers to chemistry, metallurgy, material sciences and
>micro-technology for manufacturing disperse composite materials as
>powders which consist of small particles and which are covered with
>another material. These dispersed composite materials (DCM) can be
>produced as catalysts, as abrasive, wear-resistant grinding material of
>high strength of with surfaces without magnetic permeability. A further
>use of the composite materials applies the structural properties of very
>small size particles of very high strength as these are needed for
>composite resistors, or during the process of soldering or welding of
>ceramic materials (high temperature superconductors, rigid electrolytes
>etc.) with metals.
>
>The equipment and the method for producing the DCMs consists in filling
>of a working chamber with a plasma producing gas which is being excited
>to plasma, and in injection of the dispersed (dusty) base material as
>well as the one or other components of the coating material being in the
>gas or vapor phase.
