Hi,
I am captured by this idea:
If hydrogen diffuses into metal, then it will probly outdiffuse in the
same way as it came in.
This will prevent high pressures in the metal lattice when heat arises.
The hydrogen will quickly diffuse out if heat develops.
It came the easiest way in and so it will go the easiest way out.
So we must close the way out to prevent this and to build up pressure.
I had this idea:
Build an electrolytic cell for galvanic metal coating.
Cathode (-) Grapit or platinum, an inert material. It should have low
hydrogen adsorption.
(Possibly graphite pencils can be used for it)
Anode 1 (+) Nickel
Anode 2 (+) Graphit or platinum
Electrolyte: Any, as usual, but I think an electrolyte containing no
metal but agressive to metal should work best. Possibly citronic acid or
something like that.
If Anode 1 and Anode 2 are bot independently driven with constant
current, or if they are driven one after the another, cycling, then both
Nickel Ions and Hydrogen Ions should travel to the Cathode.
The Cathode should be coated with a more or less homogenous nickel
hydride film by this process and the hydrogen atoms should be buried
deep into this galvanic film and should be tightly enclosed.
If the hydrogen atoms are buried deep enough they cannot escape, because
diffusion is slow and because the way where they came in is closed.
If the film is grown to some thickness the cathode could be taken out
and treated by heat, by magnetic fiels, high frequency, electrons,
sparks or whatever.
Possibly this is a way to get LENR effects (heat production) ?
Has anybody ever tried something like this?
Best,
Peter
