An electrochemical power
system is provided that generates an
electromotive force (EMF) from the catalytic reaction of
hydrogen to lower energy (hydrino) states providing direct conversion of the energy released from the hydrino reaction into
electricity, the
system comprising at least two components chosen from: H2O catalyst or a source of H2O catalyst; atomic
hydrogen or a source of atomic
hydrogen; reactants to form the H2O catalyst or source of H2O catalyst and atomic hydrogen or source of atomic hydrogen; and one or more reactants to initiate the
catalysis of atomic hydrogen. The electrochemical power
system for forming hydrinos and
electricity can further comprise a
cathode compartment comprising a
cathode, an
anode compartment comprising an
anode, optionally a
salt bridge, reactants that constitute hydrino reactants during
cell operation with separate
electron flow and
ion mass transport, and a source of hydrogen. Due to oxidation-reduction
cell half reactions, the hydrino-producing reaction mixture is constituted with the migration of electrons through an
external circuit and
ion mass transport through a separate path such as the
electrolyte to complete an electrical circuit. A power source and
hydride reactor is further provided that powers a power system comprising (i) a reaction
cell for the
catalysis of atomic hydrogen to form hydrinos, (ii) a chemical fuel mixture comprising at least two components chosen from: a source of H2O catalyst or H2O catalyst; a source of atomic hydrogen or atomic hydrogen; reactants to form the source of H2O catalyst or H2O catalyst and a source of atomic hydrogen or atomic hydrogen; one or more reactants to initiate the
catalysis of atomic hydrogen; and a support to enable the catalysis, (iii) thermal systems for reversing an exchange reaction to thermally regenerate the fuel from the reaction products, (iv) a
heat sink that accepts the heat from the power-producing reactions, and (v) a power conversion system.
