<p>An electrolytic system and cell for heating water containing a conductive salt in solution. The electrolytic cell (12) includes a non-conductive housing (14) having an inlet (54) and an outlet (56) and spaced apart first (38) and second conductive foraminous grids (44) positioned within the housing. A plurality of conductive microspheres (36) each formed of inert spherical cores and having a uniform conductive metallic surface which is readily combinable with hydrogen or an isotope of hydrogen to form a metallic hydride are positioned within the housing in electrical contact with the first grid adjacent the inlet. An electric power source in the system is operably connected across the first and second grids whereby electrical current flows between the grids within the water solution.</p> |
