ABSTRACT:
A closed cycle-high energy density heat generating system. In the heat generating system hydrogen peroxide is fed from a vessel at a controlled rate through a catalytic converter to produce water vapor and oxygen. A first reaction heat transfer vessel receives the water vapor and oxygen mixture from the converter and combines hydrogen provided by a second reaction heat transfer with the received oxygen in a combustion reaction which produces water and heat. The water produced by the first reaction heat transfer vessel is applied to the second reaction heat transfer vessel in which it reacts with an active metal to produce a metal hydroxide, hydrogen which is recycled to the first reaction heat transfer vessel, and further heat. The flow of gases and liquids in the system is controlled by diverse temperature and pressure sensors placed throughout the system to control heat generation and system stability. The heat generated in the first and second reaction heat transfer vessels is extracted to high or low pressure circulation systems in which it is used for direct heating or conversion to mechanical energy.
