  • Publication number: 20230290526
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for triggering an exothermic reaction under a high hydrogen loading rate. It is generally understood that a high hydrogen loading ratio is an important factor. The present application teaches that a high hydrogen loading rate, that is, achieving a high hydrogen loading ratio in a short period of time, is another important factor in determining whether excess heat can be observed in an exothermic reaction. The present application discloses methods and apparatus for achieving a high hydrogen loading rate in order to trigger an exothermic reaction.

  • Patent number: 11628414
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for generating an electromagnetic field inside a reactor to trigger an exothermic reaction. The design and implementation of the electromagnetics are based on the requirements of a particular exothermic reaction or reactor. For example, the triggering mechanism of a particular exothermic reaction or reactor may require a magnetic field with a specific magnitude, polarity, and/or orientation.

  • Publication number: 20200129942
    Abstract: A low cost and versatile plate reactor is capable of producing exothermic reactions under a wide variety of conditions using a wide variety of materials. The reactor design can be used to test various combinations of materials and triggers for exothermic reactions quickly. The reactor design can be used for solid-state materials, wet-cells/electrolytic materials, plasmas, and gases. The design will work with nanoparticles, solid materials, materials plated to a reactor wall, heavy water, or other liquid materials, and gases.

  • Publication number: 20190098760
    Abstract: Printed circuit board and/or semiconductor wafer fabrication techniques and technologies are applied to create anode and cathode electrodes for exothermic reaction chambers and processes. Starting with an appropriate substrate, e.g., ceramic, anodes and cathodes of varying shapes and spaced relationships, formed of the reactive materials required, may be fabricated on the same or different layers as conductive traces. In some embodiments, the shapes and placement of the traces, and use of one or more ground planes, may optimize the generation of magnetic fields as current passes through the traces. In some embodiments, an iron core may shape and/or enhance the strength of magnetic fields. In general, the use of PCB/IC fabrication technology allows the manufacture of electrodes for exothermic reactions that are rugged, made from appropriate materials, and have known and repeatable impedances, spaced relationships, magnetic coupling, and other properties.

  • Publication number: 20180374587
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for triggering and maintaining an exothermic reaction in a reaction material comprising a metal occluded with hydrogen. The reaction material is prepared by loading a hydrogen absorbing material, e.g., a transition metal, with a hydrogen gas that comprises one or more of hydrogen isotopes. Different conditions and system configurations for triggering the exothermic reaction are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20180197643
    Abstract: A method includes vacuuming an environment containing a low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) system and flowing a gaseous material into the environment. The method includes heating the reactor to a first temperature range and applying a voltage to an electrode passing through a core of the LENR system. The method includes imaging one of the core or the system with a spectrometer and determining that the core is at a desired temperature based on the imaging.

  • Patent number: 9509767
    Abstract: A system for preventing redirection loops during collaborative web browsing is provided including: a CPU; a memory in communication with the CPU; instructions stored in the memory and executable by the CPU to prevent redirects encountered during a collaborative web browsing session, the instructions further comprising: instructions enabling a device to join a collaborative web browsing session; instructions enabling detection of a redirection loop based upon a query to a uniform resource locator (URL) history stored in a memory; and instructions enabling termination of the redirect loop; wherein, upon the detection of a redirection loop, the device ignores URL updates of the collaborative web browsing session for a predetermined amount of time.

  • Patent number: 9183381
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for detecting tampering of devices such as fiscal printers. A memory module includes a volatile memory that stores multi-bit data. An operation module allows operation of an electronic device, such as a fiscal printer, in response to determining that the predefined multi-bit data is stored in the volatile memory. A detection module detects an attempt to access the enclosed device where access to the enclosed device is restricted by an enclosure. A tamper switch module disconnects power to the volatile memory such that the predefined multi-bit data stored in the volatile memory is erased in response to the detection module detecting an attempted access to the enclosed device. A shutdown module disables operation of the electronic device in response to determining that the predefined multi-bit data is not stored in the volatile memory.
