Brad, This experiment is based on an alternative interpretation of the Cravens' NI-Week demo and the availability of a low cost hydrogen storage system, a large dose of optimism, and little more.
One hypothetical way to achieve thermal gain would be recycling through an exothermic phase-change with an asymmetric gas-loaded system which has negative hysteresis, due to the interplay of thermal and magnetic effects. That outcome can possibly happen in superparamagnetism at the Néel temperature such that the H/D exchange reaction (and/or) hydrogen loading alone operates for net thermal gain. There are several variants, and no guarantees. The fact that D.C. has accomplished this already gives hope that simpler versions are possible - using only startup heat and good insulation. -----Original Message----- From: Brad Lowe By self-powered, you mean room temperature (no hot plate required?)
