Molten Salt Techniques for Reproducible Excess Heat
Abstract
Summary of Major Accomplishments: Experimental Results: Electrochemical characterization of Ni electrode system in the hydride- containing molten salts. Calorimetry measurements of anomalous temperature excursion in the electrolysis of the Ni-H-based molten salt systems. Overview and Conclusion: The excess heat generation in molten salt systems are progressing well through the increasing understanding of electrochemical behavior of the cell and the availability of a variety of electrode materials used in the cell. Several issues are still open for improvements: the control of the cell behavior, the integrity of anode materials, the role of impurities in excess heat generation, and the threshold loading at elevated temperatures - just to name a few. We are more confident than ever that we can repeat the excess heat phenomenon more frequently, if funds are available to support this effort.
