Hi Aussie Guy,
Jones Beene and I kicked around a similar idea of a pressurized tube
with the h1 squeezing
"Out" instead of the Arrata style nested Pd reactors where the pressurized H2
squeezes "into" the interior tube.
We exchanged ideas regarding pourous staninless steel tubes with electroless
plating of Ni instead of
Solid Pd to reduce cost. The other concern using a tube was the reduction in
surface area compared to nano powder.
I am told electroless plating makes a better "sealing" layer for PSS and then
regular electroplating on top of it to build up surface area
Of active geometries for the escaping h1/x to migrate through - I wanted to
bury the tube in nano powder but was given to believe the fractional
Hydrogen must be continually maintained in a lattice or suppressed geometry and
the interface between the tube exterior wall and the nano powder would allow
the fh1 to return to normal h2.
Regards
Fran

Subject: EXTERNAL: [Vo]:Our FPE device
We have not stopped our work on building a working FPE device. Jed your
archives are a gold mine. I'm trying to read ALL the papers as my brain
is very good at picking out individual items from different papers and
then piecing them together. It was interesting to read the Storm paper
giving a lot of hints about how to do a strict FPE replication. I noted
his method to clean the palladium.
We are working on using a coil formed with thin wall 1 mm diameter Ni
tubing, which has the pressurized H2 inside. In the middle of the coil
we have placed a ceramic heater with the whole assembly paced in a water
jacket. This way the high pressure H2 is only applied to the inside of
the tubing. We need a good way to clean the inner and outer surface of
the Ni tubing.Would anyone expect Storm's method to work with cleaning
thin Ni tubing formed into a coil?
Jed I really don't know how you are still sane, knowing what you do and
how so many people have either been screwed or ignored. But then maybe
I'm too proactive and should learn a bit of your calmness.
