I do have some design ideas to ask the collective about.
What if:
We had a standing reactor vessel with a heater at the bottom, that is
not cooled in any way so it does get red hot quickly.
fill the vessel with h2 and a pile of nano nickel on the bottom and
fire up the heater, in my mind , this would heat up the nickel very
fast, and start a thermal siphon of nickel dust towards the top of the
vessel, where it cools down by the cool walls of the reactor, then sinks
to the
bottom and it all starts again, the h2 would probably lessen this
effect somewhat by the high thermal conductivity, but we would non the
less
have a up and down going motion, a fluid bed type reactor, probably
more efficient than a small cramped tube laying on its side and with a
core electric heater right ?
I mean that the rossi type of reactor must be slow, it has 2 heaters,
where one is fitted outside the chamber with coolant between the reactor
vessel and the heater, why ? ( weird to heat the coolant instead of the
reactor? )
And it has a small cramped space filled with nickel and a heater, that
does not allow for much movement of the nickel powder, very little of
the nickel can be in contact with the h2 at any given moment ( the h2
has great permeability, yes but it cant penetrate a pile of nickel very
efficient ? )
I have been using up my napkins today and made some plans for a
standing reactor type, but i need some comments and ideas .
Bash me with comments, do not be afraid to hurt my feelings :)
