Most likely, the SHT device involves using a consumable,
very much like the Pacheco device. However, there is the remote possibility
that the consumable can be recycled in situ if the gain is strong.
Here is a most interesting Armenian paper of interest, sent
to me by an interested party who wants to see credit given where it is due,

Pacheco’s patent is US 6834623, 1975.

Of course, the geniuses at Solar Hydrogen Trends may have “forgotten” to
mention the consumable in all their excitement over raising millions.
Anyway, let’s revisit Pacheco from an LENR context. There are a number of
choices for consumable hydrogen carriers, including the one used by Rossi
which may give added synergy. Magnesium hydride is a consumable which could
be used for copious hydrogen as it contains 7.7 % by weight, and can yield
twice as much hydrogen when reacted with water (or more). The normal water
reaction:
MgH2 + 2 H2O → 2 H2 + Mg(OH)2
But with slight changes and some electrical current added, one can possibly
get more hydrogen, which is what Pacheco supposedly achieved. Plus with
added current there is the further possibility of LENR.
A few researchers thought that that the Pacheco hydrogen anomaly was due to
producing a superoxide, such as magnesium superoxide.
Mg + 4 H2O → 4 H2 + Mg(O2) 2
MgH2 + 4 H2O → 5 H2 + Mg(O2)2
But there is no adequate proof of that, and superoxides are unstable, rare
and tricky, even explosive - and moreover, there is an inherent violation of
CoE if this were to be accomplished robustly without an outside energy
input. That is where LENR comes into the picture.
It would be sad to think that SHT had actually found a real anomaly in being
able to split water into a superoxide mode on a regular gainful basis - but
instead of having that gain verified scientifically, they have tried to
build a scam on top of it by vastly overstating the case and hiding the use
of a consumable, which provides most of the energy. It would be equally sad
to not give “someone” from Armenia credit, if they have actually done this
correctly - and are in a legal struggle to set thing right.
Anyway - to produce the kg of hydrogen from the added kg of water - which is
essentially the claim of SHT – one would need to start with about 5 kg of
magnesium hydride (hydrated) … which would of course be in the reactor at
the start, so no one is the wiser. That assumes no recycling.
‘fonly …as they say… ‘fonly they avoided the inevitable explosion and
recycled the superoxide, which (on paper) is much easier to do than
recycling the normal oxide then even the 5 kg could be reduced to almost a
marginal level… thus the overunity… ‘fonly…
Yet, in all honesty, the “recycled Mg superoxide route + LENR” cannot be
ruled out based on what is known and what is unknown. Never mind
improbability.
