Could the use of deuterium loading in Pd powder to produce heat equate to Mill’s heating of hydrogen in skeletal catalyst? Could geometry between Pd powder and zeolites equate to Casimir geometries in skeletal catalyst? We are accustomed to catalyst assisted chemistry but could Casimir geometry elevate this assistance to a power source? Could rapid changes in Casimir force disassociate diatoms partially confined by the geometry? Fran
• Lessons Learned – Lower Pd concentration ==> smaller particles ==> more heat – Small particles ==> • Higher D:Pd ratios • High flux • Large heating of particles due to chemical energy from D loading • Preparing Pd nano-particles inside Zeolites is reproducible and easy – Zeolites appear to provide Pd particles of the correct dimensions • Interesting heat pattern was measured – Many iterations with unexpected heat present – Heat in presence of Deuterium but not Hydrogen • Chemical effect due to Deuterium-Hydrogen exchange may account for some of the anomalous heat – Hydrogen may not be best control – Requires all the species present – Zeolite, Pd catalyst, water. D2/H2 • Although it is likely chemistry, because of the ease of preparation, further exploration of these systems is warranted From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Zeolites are microporous, aluminosilicate<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminosilicate> minerals commonly used as commercial adsorbents. The term zeolite was originally coined in 1756 by Swedish mineralogist Axel Fredrik Cronstedt, who observed that upon rapidly heating the material stilbite, it produced large amounts of steam from water that had been adsorbed by the material. Based on this, he called the material zeolite, from the Greek ζέω (zeō), meaning "boil" and λίθος (lithos), meaning "stone". As of January 2008, 175 unique zeolite frameworks have been identified, and over 40 naturally occurring zeolite frameworks are known. Zeolites are widely used in industry for water purification, as catalysts, and in nuclear reprocessing. Their biggest use is in the production of laundry detergents. They are also used in medicine and in agriculture.
