<p>A system (10) and method for electrolyzing and/or heating a liquid electrolyte (59) containing water having a conductive salt in solution and for producing excess heat within the water for use. An electrolytic cell (12) includes a non-conductive housing (14) having an inlet (54) and an outlet (56) and spaced apart first and second conductive foraminous grids (38 and 44) connected within the housing (14). A plurality of conductive beads (36) each having improved conductive exterior multilayers of uniform thickness are positioned within the housing (14) in electrical contact with the first grid (38) adjacent the inlet (54). The conductive beads (36) are plated first with a metal cation which will reduce with hydrazine to form a conductive metal flash coating. The conductive beads (36) are then plated with a uniform layer of nickel, followed by plated layer of metallic hydride which is readily combinable with hydrogen or an isotope of hydrogen, then a uniform metallic support plating having a high hydrogen diffusion rate and a low hydride formation ratio. An electric power source (15, 16) in the system (10) is operably connected across the first and second grids (38 and 44) whereby electrical current flows between the grids within the liquid electrolyte. Heat is added to the water (at 21) to elevate system electrolyte operating temperature for increased yields of heat for use.</p> |
