Abstract: The use of a solution of salt within ammonia as a fuel. The preferred ammonia/salt solution is an ammonium nitrate solute (NH4NO3) within the solvent anhydrous ammonia (NH3). The solution may also contain a small amount of water (H2O).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for synthesizing anhydrous ammonia utilizing proton conducting electrolyte having a water vapor dissociating electrocatalyst on one side and a nitrogen dissociating electrocatalyst on the other side. A voltage is provided across the proton conducting electrolyte, protons are separated from the water vapor and transferred through the middle of the proton conducting electrolyte to the second side of the proton conducting electrolyte. Nitride ions are formed from nitrogen and the electrons provided by the voltage on the second side of the proton conducting electrolyte. The protons are then reacted with the nitride ions on the second side of the proton conducting electrolyte to produce anhydrous ammonia. A preferred proton conducting electrolyte is barium cerium oxide doped with about 10% ytterbium with a water vapor dissociating electrocatalyst of Ni and Pd, and a nitrogen dissociating electrocatalyst of Co and Ru.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for dissociating water. A reaction chamber contains an anode and a cathode submerged in an aqueous hydroxide electrolyte. The temperature of the aqueous hydroxide electrolyte in the reaction chamber is elevated to least 280° C. The pressure of the aqueous hydroxide electrolyte in the reaction chamber is likewise elevated to least 2 atmospheres. An electrical voltage is applied across the anode and cathode using an electrical power supply and oxygen and hydrogen are formed from the water contained in the aqueous hydroxide electrolyte.

Abstract: A fuel cell having at least one chamber containing a molten alkali hydroxide electrolyte in contact with an anode and a cathode, a fluid pathway allowing hydrogen containing fluids to flow to the anode, and a fluid pathway allowing oxygen containing fluids to flow to the cathode.
