Thanks, Teslaalset - Good find. Excellent resource list of patent applications also.
The same applicant (I believe) submitted an earlier patent application - "METHODS OF MAKING AND USING PALLADIUM ALLOYS" WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/141761 http://www.sumobrain.com/patents/wipo/Methods-making-using-palladium-alloys/WO2012141761.html In the 'BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION' section, the author identifies weaknesses in the Patterson device that made its performance sporadic: In WO 98/03699, Patterson discloses an energy producing device using nickel coated on palladium on a plastic ball as a cathode in an electrolytic cell. The cell operates between room temperature and near 100 degrees C. Patterson claimed a nuclear reaction driven by a chemical process. It had at least two substantial deficiencies, namely: 1) The coefficient of thermal expansion between the plastic and the metal coatings are at least an order of magnitude different. This causes stresses between the coating layers and the core of plastic ball. Repeated temperature changes of the metal coated ball will cause the coating to flake off and will stop the energy generation process. 2) The electrolytic process was done in aqueous solutions. This limits its temperature to about the boiling point of the solution, or about 100 degrees C. A chemical process normally is a function of temperature: the higher the temperature, the higher the reaction rate. Limiting the operating temperature to about 100 degrees C means a low reaction rate and low efficiency system. In US 2003/0230481 Al, Miley discloses an improved version of the above mentioned WO 98/03699 by Patterson, but the essential deficiencies of WO98/03699 were still there. -- Lou Pagnucco Teslaalset wrote: > I found a new publiced LENR related patent application. > This time a WO patent related to preparing nickel alloy powder and a > reactor. > The description of the alloy preparation has large resemblance with recent > work of Celani. > The inventor Nee, Han, H. is unknown by me, but he has quite some metal > related patents filed and granted. > > http://www.fusioncatalyst.org/fusion-base/fusion-patents/ > (top of the list) > Link to the actual patent application : > http://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=WO2012166808&recNum=264&docAn=US2012040017&queryString=evaporators&maxRec=193361 >
