Title:
ELECTROLYTIC CELL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004108994
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An electrolytic cell and chamber for converting electric power into heat. The cell includes a non-conductive housing and a conductive end member sealingly positioned in and extending from each open end of the housing. The end members have spaced apart proximal end surfaces to define, in cooperation with said housing, a chamber. Catalytic particles comprising an admixture of (a) palladium or palladium black particles, (b) inert non-conductive particles and optionally (c) boron particles are closely packed into said chamber and against each proximal end. A longitudinal gas passage extends through each end member in gas communication with the chamber. Each gas passage is sealably closeable, one gas passage being connectable to a source of pressurized hydrogen (H2) or deuterium (D2) gas deliverable under pressure into the chamber. A distal end of each end member is connected to an electric power source whereby, when electric current flows through the end members and across the chamber which is filled with said catalytic particles and hydrogen or deuterium gas, heat is produced within the chamber for external use.
