Prometheus Energy (Italy) Claim LENR H2 Production system.

yes he is really that is amazing

Let's watch this french youtube video easily translatable.

You will learn all the Ettore life and how Etienne Klein meet the last Majorana.

The Prometheus founder.

Quote from Alan Smith

Salvatore is apparently a great -nephew of Ettore Majorana.

Thanks for all the digging! Common Salt! (and not air, as per their current page).

I suspect sea water would be a bit messy in terms of all the other gunk.

Note that Biaco's similar "reactor" seems to just use tapwater. I can't recall them claiming that their cell/reactor produces hydrogen gas - or, conversely, an oxy-hydogen gas mix. So any water dissociation in their arc must be accompanied by fairly rapid recombination.

Maybe one side effect of the sodium chloride, in the Promethius cell, is to render the (316L stainless steel) walls of the chamber chemically active, allowing the iron, chromium, nickel, et al, to oxidise. Hence hydrogen gas is evolved.

What happens to the chlorine is a bit of a mystery, though. As Alan Smith pointed out, if they were collecting a hydrogen and chlorine gas mix it could be rather dangerous. I suspect that chlorine is also locked up in the "residue" that comes from the chamber walls - hence the claim that pure hydrogen is evolved.

I'm afraid all this speculation is counter-productive. It reminds me of the Rossi era, when so many experts investigated only to find nothing and conclude that Rossi's technology was false.

I wouldn't want that Prometheus going the same way.

I think Biaco are using carbon electrodes. Their claim is (I believe) that the reactor produces steam and liquid hydrocarbons that are (presumably) condensed out of the steam.

Now I'm the one who is going to say "I doubt it" - although I note that before they "went dark" Biaco were talking about trying different electrode materials. However, their patent doesn't mention carbon anywhere, and the only materials mentioned at all are steel, aluminium, and gold. The gold was mentioned as a possible electrode coating - for increasing conductivity - so it doesn't sound like they expected their electrodes to be consumable.

Using carbon electrodes would put them in Eldridge, Clark and Blum territory (not to mention R*ggero S*antilli) - making their device a whole different animal.

All these ideas with plasma reactions in aqueous media have been around for a good while. If Biaco uses carbon rods then they are basically doing the same process that Santilli patented more than 20 Years ago (albeit Bill Richardson claims it was his IP that was stolen by Santilli’s lawyer).

Santilli, probably biased by his theoretical focus on explaining why the process Richardson was using was “overunity”, focused his development efforts in the evolved gases, but he also claimed that “thermal overunity” was present. Only that, for him, excess heat was a lesser by product, compared to the energy dense gas.
