Abstract
A process for releasing hydrogen gas is disclosed. The process comprises the step of irradiating hydrogen storage particles dispersed within thermal promoter particles under conditions to release said hydrogen from said hydrogen storage particles. A system for implementing the process as well as uses for the hydrogen gas released from the above process are disclosed.
Claims28
A process for releasing hydrogen comprising the step of irradiating hydrogen storage particles dispersed among thermal promoter graphite particles using radiation in the microwave range to release said hydrogen from said hydrogen storage particles.
(canceled)
(canceled)
A hydrogen release system comprising:
- an enclosed chamber;
- a mixture of hydrogen storage particles and thermal promoter graphite particles disposed within said enclosed chamber;
- and
- a microwave generator capable of irradiating the mixture within said enclosed chamber in the microwave range;
- wherein in use, said microwave source irradiates said mixture in said microwave range to release hydrogen from said hydrogen storage particles into said chamber.
(canceled)
A vehicle which utilizes the step of irradiating hydrogen storage particles dispersed among thermal promoter graphite particles using radiation in the microwave range to release hydrogen from said hydrogen storage particles, for use as a fuel in said vehicle.
Use of thermal promoter graphite particles in admixture with hydrogen storage particles to promote release of hydrogen while said hydrogen storage particles are being irradiated using radiation in the microwave range.
A kit of parts for releasing hydrogen, the kit comprising:
- hydrogen storage particles;
- thermal promoter graphite particles;
- and
- instructions for irradiating a mixture of said hydrogen storage particles and said thermal promoter particles using radiation in the microwave range while resident within an enclosed chamber to release hydrogen from said hydrogen storage particles.
