  • the container 102 is made of metal.
  • the interior wall of the container 102 is first plated with gold 108 or another material (e.g., silver).
  • the plated gold or silver functions as a seal to prevent reaction gasses in the chamber from escaping through the wall of the reaction chamber 100 .

  • Power lines may be accommodated through the electrical pass-through 116 .
  • the reactor 100 needs to be preconditioned for an exothermic reaction to happen.
  • One of the prerequisite conditions is that the hydrogen absorbing material 110 is loaded with hydrogen/deuterium.
  • an exothermic reaction can be triggered when the hydrogen loading ratio exceeds a threshold.
  • a hydrogen loading ratio describes how much hydrogen or deuterium has been absorbed or adsorbed into the hydrogen absorbing material, e.g., palladium.
  • the reaction chamber 100 is an electrolytic cell
  • the cathode of the electrolytic cell is plated with palladium.
  • an exothermic reaction may be triggered when the loading ratio exceeds a certain threshold.
  • the loading ratio of hydrogen is important in triggering an exothermic reaction. While a general correlation between high hydrogen loading ratios and excess heat generation has been observed, no triggering mechanism that can be used to consistently initiate an exothermic reaction has been identified. One postulation is that a high hydrogen loading ratio is a necessary but insufficient condition for triggering an exothermic reaction. On the other hand, a high loading rate may provide a consistent triggering mechanism for excess heat generation. In some embodiments, an exothermic reaction may be triggered under a fast hydrogen loading rate. A hydrogen loading rate describes how fast the hydrogen is being absorbed or adsorbed into the hydrogen absorbing material.
  • a high hydrogen/deuterium loading rate triggers an exothermic reaction.
  • a hydrogen gas is pressurized into the reaction chamber 100
  • a large flow of hydrogen/deuterium gas is introduced into the reaction chamber 100 in a short period of time.
  • an exothermic reaction can be induced.
  • the exothermic reaction may be between the hydrogen/deuterium atoms/ions that are “jammed” into the metal lattice, which plays a catalytic role in the exothermic reaction.
  • a high hydrogen/deuterium loading rate can be achieved by applying a magnetic field or imposing a voltage. Hydrogen ions are accelerated to a high speed when under the influence of a strong magnetic field or a high voltage (electric field). When high speed hydrogen/deuterium ions enter a metal lattice, an exothermic reaction may be induced, due to the high kinetic energy of the hydrogen/deuterium ions loaded into the metal lattice.
  • the distribution of hydrogen atoms/ions inside the metal lattice may be uneven. Within certain areas, the hydrogen/deuterium loading ratio may be higher than the average loading ratio. Within certain pockets, the hydrogen/deuterium loading ratio can exceed the threshold required for triggering an exothermic reaction.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary hydrogen absorbing process 200 in a hydrogen absorbing material such as palladium.
  • the x-axis shows the elapsed time and the y-axis shows the hydrogen loading ratio measured as the ratio between the hydrogen atoms/ions loaded into the metal lattice and the palladium atoms of the hydrogen absorbing material.
  • the hydrogen or deuterium gas is being adsorbed and absorbed quickly.
  • the hydrogen loading process slows down, until the hydrogen absorbing material is “saturated” with hydrogen/deuterium.
  • the hydrogen loading ratio remains substantially stable after t′.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary hydrogen loading process 300 .
  • the first loading condition may include a pressure P 1 and a temperature T 1 . Additionally, the first loading condition may include a voltage V 1 , a magnetic field B 1 , etc.
  • the hydrogen loading ratio steadily increases from r 0 to r 1 during the time period between t 0 and t 1 .
  • the loading rate during this time period is:
  • a second condition is applied inside the reaction chamber 100 .
  • the second condition may include one or more of the following: a pressure P 2 , a temperature T 2 , a voltage V 2 , a magnetic field B 2 , etc.
  • the hydrogen is being loaded into the hydrogen absorbing material faster than under the first condition.
  • the loading ratio increases from r 1 to r 2 during the second time period between t 1 and t 2 .
  • the loading rate under the second condition during the second time period is:
  • the device 100 comprises a metal container 102 that is plated with palladium or nickel.
  • Hydrogen or deuterium is present in the closed container under normal pressure conditions (e.g., ⁇ 2 PSI).
  • a negative voltage or ground is applied to the hydrogen absorbing lattice while a positive voltage is applied to the electrode 104 .
  • the voltage is about 5000V. In another embodiment, the voltage ranges between 3000V to 6000V.
  • This voltage change creates a strong electric field that causes the hydrogen or deuterium to “slam” into the palladium/nickel wall, yielding a loading rate higher than normal. Under this fast loading rate, loaded hydrogen atoms/ions are distributed in the metal lattice unevenly and small areas with high hydrogen loading ratio may be formed.
  • the metal container 102 in the reaction chamber 100 holds palladium or nickel nanoparticles.
  • the container 102 is initially set at a vacuum, e.g., 10 ⁇ circumflex over ( ) ⁇ 7 Torr or higher.
  • Deuterium or hydrogen is introduced into the container quickly, causing pressure to increase from a vacuum to at least 100 PSI within a short period of time.
  • the pressure increases from a high vacuum to 100 PSI in 15 seconds. This sudden increase of pressure creates areas of high concentration hydrogen/deuterium. Within those areas, hydrogen/deuterium loading ratios are high, and an abnormal heat generation event can be triggered to promote excess heat generation.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates an exemplary triggering process 400 of an exothermic reaction under a high hydrogen loading rate.
  • a hydrogen gas is first introduced into the metal container (step 402 ).
  • a first condition is applied.
  • the hydrogen gas is loaded into the hydrogen absorbing material to reach a first hydrogen loading ratio within a first time period (step 404 ).
  • a second condition is applied.
  • the hydrogen gas is loaded into the hydrogen absorbing material to achieve a second hydrogen loading ratio (step 406 ).
  • the second hydrogen loading ratio is higher than the first hydrogen loading ratio.
  • an exothermic reaction is triggered in the reaction chamber 100 (step 408 ).
