[NewCandle] Constrained hydrolysis

[Jones Beene]

K,

Maybe there are some lower input possibilities, as well...

Here is something else related to the prior ideas which I have never 
really investigated as fully as needs to be done, but it is on my to-do 
list (along with 42 other half-baked ideas, and a few which are getting 
extra crispy). Since we are at the level of "pie-in-the-sky" anyway, 
here is the thought.

Lets say you have a micro-turbine or Stirling which is going to be 
powered by H2 from a pressurized tank. Maybe this scenario is for 5 
years down the road, and is to be used to keep batteries topped-off in a 
car on long trips. Can you get some "free-energy" before the H2 is even 
burned?

Hydrogen has a known IP which is surprisingly high, for the H2+ ion that 
is, but it is clear from any number of experiments that getting a jet of 
H2 to "carry" electrons is not only easy - it is almost free.

By "carrying electrons" I do not necessarily mean becoming ionized 
negatively (H2-) as that is not required (and that puts it into the 
category of known reactions which are not OU)... this is more a mass 
transport issue, but using the well-know phenomenon of needle cathode 
emission, yet augmented with a hydrogen jet. I would bet a dollar to a 
donut hole that the energy which can be removed and recovered from a 
needle is not only surprising, but a possible anomaly.

For instance, lets say you have a small high current, very low voltage 
P.S. : maybe 10 amp 1+ v. AC, say 10 watts RMS. This is attached to a 
needle which is an H2 jet (possibly magnetized as well) which feeds the 
micro-turbine eventually ... but first we want to use the electrolyzed 
free flux of H2.

By passing that jet though the (low potential) charged needle and then 
through an induction coil, before it comes into contact with air, it 
would be very interesting to see if you can get more than the 10 watts 
out - since the electrons become "ballistic" due to the jet, and 
ballistic electrons, which I realize is an undefined term-of-art are 
typically 60 volt potential, or greater, in cold cathode discharges.

I bet it would be far more than the 10 watts input, and even if it is 
far less than 600 watts possible <g> there would be the fringe benefit 
of possibly hotter combustion, as there will be some H2 ionization on 
the Boltzmann's tail of the spectrum and lots of charge added. If only 
one gram/minute of H2 were coming out, then 10 amps means that only one 
molecule in many thousands is being used as a carrier, and we are not 
talking about true ionization here.

Of course, that is not technically OU as the H2 jet has kinetic energy, 
without which the mass transport is impossible. There is a middle ground 
of efficient cathode reactions, to add to that - which is not 
well-studied in the literature.

There are all kinds of possibilities for efficiency improvements in 
combustion - which are not being done now - because for one thing, they 
look so much like LoT violators on paper that few 'credentialed' 
experimenters would try them.

Just one more item on my to-do list.

BTW the Mega-Lotto jackpot is getting pretty large for tonight, and 
could be put to good use - if this ticket I am holding ...<g> ... hey, 
jackpot to crackpot ... that has a nice ring, doesn't it>
