Lattice assisted nano reactions using superabundandt hydrogen vacancy storage clusters

This project will utilize a new electron capture process through development of a higly reactive nano material with superabundandt hydrogen vacancies that will be utilized in a novel reactor in a electron capture process that can operate at a COP of 15 wi th less hydrogen, less material and at 4-500 deg C for 6 months withouth refuelling. The SAV material is activated at specific temperatures, which could be used for closed loop control in catalytic processes. A novel hydrogen cluster material and reacto r that utilizing hydrogen interactions with nano materials will be developed to produce heat (e.g., for a water heater, heat pump booster) and/or electricity using a sterling engine or thermo electric generator. The cell will typically maintain a ~400 to 500°C core temperature with 2 kg nanomaterial for ~6 months. The forecasted COP is 12-15, based on preliminary calculations, comparable to standard heat pumps with a COP 3 to 4,5. This heat-releasing interaction occurs in the surface and subsurface nanos tructures in hydrogen cluster sites of specially designed nanomaterials. Nano material development during the past two years in Norrønts advanced nano laboratory (Røyken, Norway) has shown high temperature reactions in nanomaterial with high reproducibili ty. Thus, a material pathway mechanism is in place that needs further research and development and theoretical investigation (e.g., optimizing combinations of nanomaterial, gas, pressure, temperature,potensial and material alloys). This research project will involve researchers from different parts of the world; Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Oslo, University of Missouri, University of Illinois, The George Washington University, France, and the National Academy of Sciences in Kiev. Statoil ASA will have a observation role and review the technology for future investment. This will be the hydrogen technology for future use in transportation.
