Claims8
In a method of thermochemically producing hydrogen from water by solar energy, the improvement therein which comprises forming electromagnetic fields containing within an otherwise unenclosed space within a plant a substance thermochemically cleavable into two reaction products at a temperature above 1,100.degree. C., one of said reaction products being reactable in gasifying apparatus with steam to produce hydrogen and the substance, concentrating the solar energy in the unenclosed space, formed by the electromagnetic fields circulating the reaction products from the space to the gasifying apparatus, and circulating the substance from the gasifying apparatus to the space.
In a plant for thermochemically producing hydrogen from water by solar energy, the improvement therein comprising means for forming electromagnetic fields within an otherwise unenclosed space within the plant, said space being capable of containing a substance thermochemically cleavable into two reaction products at a temperature above 1,100.degree. C., one of said reaction products being reactable in gasifying apparatus with steam to produce hydrogen and said substance, means for concentrating the solar energy in said space, and means for circulating said reaction products from said space to said gasifying apparatus and for circulating said substance from said gasifying apparatus to said space.
