Found this on RWG suggesting safe go/no-go experimental trials reduced to
simplicity
and minimal materials costs any one can attempt:
Presently have Fe pipe nipple +
2 caps. Loading 5% Mix with 95% Zeolite. One cap tight, one cracked a bit.
This is placed into larger PVC pipe section with one end glue tight +
implanted gas
valve for alternate evacuating / charging with propane and the other end
capped with silicone grease to make non permanent seal. Must purge out O.
The propane is cheap, easy to work with and disintegrates into soot and active
H.
The Mix follows these proportions:
NiCl2{H2O}6 + 7Mg = Ni + MgCl2 + 6MgO + 6H2
237.6 170.1 58.7 12
with excess Mg (Fireworks) powder, thorium lamp mantle and trial tid bits of
catalyst. The PVC cap is eased off with a tiny + propane pressure and the
Fe caps tightened with heavy monkeys. Dug 10' hole out back installed 12'
4 PVC pipe capped on bottom. Wrapped nipple with used nichrome heater wire,
insulation and thermocouple. Procedure is: lower unit, stand away, heater on
and heater off at 450 C. Goal: Excess heat or new commercial explosive via
fusion.
