Continuous hydrino thermal power system

Abstract

The specifics of a continuous hydrino reaction system design are presented. Heat from the hydrino reactions within individual cells provide both reactor power and the heat for regeneration of the reactants. These processes occur continuously and the power from each cell is constant. The conversion of thermal power to electrical power requires the use of a heat engine exploiting a cycle such as a Rankine, Brayton, Stirling, or steam-engine cycle. Due to the temperatures, economy goal, and efficiency, the Rankine cycle is the most practical and can produce electricity at 30-40% efficiency with a component capital cost of about 300perkWelectric.Conservatively,assumingaconversionefficiencyof25300 per kW electric. Conservatively, assuming a conversion efficiency of 25% the total cost with the addition of the boiler and chemical components is estimated at 1064 per kW electric.Thermal reactant regeneration Continuous thermal power Hydrino catalyst reaction Hydrogen fuel Hydride-halide exchange Rankine cycle
