US Patent:

20080237056, Oct 2, 2008

Filed:

Apr 28, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/413485

Inventors:

Brian P. Roarty - Los Altos CA, US
Carol J. Walker - Redmond WA, US

International Classification:

C25B 1/00

US Classification:

205340

Abstract:

A method of preparing a material surface, such as palladium, to facilitate desirable reactions, especially exothermic reactions in a liquid medium, involves placing the material whose surface is to be treated into an electrolytic cell as at least one of the electrodes and then concurrently stimulating the material electrically, vibrationally and photonically. The electrolytic cell includes a solution in water of an electrolyte, a siliceous surfactant and a pH-adjusting agent, all heated and maintained at or just below its boiling point. A series of voltage pulses are applied to the electrodes over an extended time period while also being illuminated with intensity-modulated light pulses. The material surface thus treated exhibits crater sites and silica coatings, evidencing a change in bonding of the palladium surface, as well as a sustained exothermic reaction.

Appl. No.:

12/657351

Inventors:

Brian P. Roarty - Los Altos CA, US
Carol J. Walker - Ventura CA, US

International Classification:

B05B 1/24
B05B 1/00

US Classification:

239135, 239591

Abstract:

Usable work can be obtained from the recompression of an incompressible fluid flowing into and through a nozzle's inlet and throat when that fluid has, by the exhaust end of the nozzle, been converted at least in part to a compressible gas, if the nozzle and fluid are prepared and the fluid stimulated in and by the nozzle so as to enable heat-releasing, presumably LENR, reactions that cause the phase change in the fluid.

Appl. No.:

12/688630

Inventors:

Brian P. Roarty - Los Altos CA, US
Carol J. Walker - Ventura CA, US

International Classification:

C25C 1/20

US Classification:

205335, 205340, 205338

Abstract:

A material surface treatment protocol uses concurrent electrical, vibrational, and photonic stimulation to generate an exothermic reaction and coat the surface of a material, such as palladium. This protocol is performed at or near the boiling point of water within a sealed vessel that prevents the escape of steam and that is lined with silica or a similar glass to increase the silica available to the reaction. The great majority of the applied energy is heat used to elevate the temperature to near the boiling point, while concurrent stimulations provide only about 100 mW of additional energy for the surface treatment.

International Classification:

C25D 5/00

US Classification:

205 91

Abstract:

A material surface treatment protocol (e.g., FIG. ) uses concurrent electronic and photonic stimulation to generate an exothermic reaction and coat the surface (e.g., FIGS. and ) of a material, such as palladium. This protocol is performed at or near the boiling point of water within a sealed vessel that prevents the escape of steam and that is lined with silica or a similar glass to increase the silica available to the reaction. The great majority of the applied energy is heat used to elevate the temperature to near the boiling point, while concurrent stimulations provide only about 100 mW of additional energy for the surface treatment.
