<p>Electrochemically assisted nuclear reaction that produces excess heat at elevated temperatures by immersing a metal in an electrolyte solution comprising a molten salt containing an alkali deuteride and applying a potential and current to the electrolyte and the metal to enhance diffusion of deuterium into the metal. A recycling system utilizing metals that do not form compounds with lithium and also have very limited solubilities for lithium will increase the usefulness of the invention by recombining lithium with deuterium gas that has not diffused into the metal. Torched palladium having a very porous structure increases efficiency as well.</p> |
