Abstract
The present invention relates to methods and systems to control reactions involving isotopic fuels within a material, such as hydrogen within palladium. The method and apparatus uses at least two non-parallel electric-fields to control the loading into the material and redistribution of the isotopic fuel within the material.
Claims20
In a process for producing a product using a material loaded with an isotopic fuel, a method to control the production of said product which includes in combination:
- supplying said isotopic fuel to said material,
- loading said isotopic fuel into said material, and
- applying in combination two non-parallel applied electric fields.
In a process for producing a product using a material by a reaction, a method to control the production of said product which includes in combination:
- supplying an isotopic fuel to said material,
- loading said isotopic fuel into said material by an applied electric field, and
- applying the second applied electric field to redistribute said isotopic fuel.
An apparatus to produce a product using a material loaded with an isotopic fuel, which includes in combination:
- means to supply said isotopic fuel to said material,
- means to load said isotopic fuel into said material by an applied electric field, and
- means to provide a second applied electric field to redistribute said isotopic fuel.
