More info: http://www.phillipscompany.4t.com/HYDROGEN.html The information below described a new catalyst, CC, that requires zero energy input once the reaction is started and heated to 180F.  After that, hydrogen is produced for as long as fuel (water and aluminum) are provided. Zero

From David: I would also take a second look at the net process energy balance.   If aluminum is required as fuel, you would be in big trouble as it takes a lot of energy to obtain the fuel.  Years ago I made H gas by putting lye and water into a jar with aluminum foil.  My friends and I used

Good comments from everyone. From Axel: In the context of the new high temperature NiH reactor designs, lead will melt at a lower temperature (327C) as compared to the temperature of the high temperature coolant (349C), therefore the theory of heat production in lead is untenable. I agree.
