LOW COST PLATE REACTOR FOR EXOTHERMIC REACTIONS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An exothermic reactor comprising:
- a reactor housing comprising at least two plates configured to be assembled together, each plate of the reactor housing including a cavity configured such that when the plates are assembled together, the cavities collectively form a reaction chamber;
one or more seals, each seal disposed between a respective pair of the plates and surrounding the reaction chamber to seal the reaction chamber; and
a first gas port in at least one of the plates of the reactor housing for supplying gas to or evacuating gas from the reaction chamber while the plates are assembled.

Abstract
A low cost and versatile plate reactor is capable of producing exothermic reactions under a wide variety of conditions using a wide variety of materials. The reactor design can be used to test various combinations of materials and triggers for exothermic reactions quickly. The reactor design can be used for solid-state materials, wet-cells/electrolytic materials, plasmas, and gases. The design will work with nanoparticles, solid materials, materials plated to a reactor wall, heavy water, or other liquid materials, and gases.

21. A method of initiating an exothermic reaction comprising:
-
placing a fuel source within an exothermic reaction chamber of an exothermic reactor, wherein the exothermic reactor comprises; a reactor housing comprising at least two plates configured to be assembled together, each plate of the reactor housing including a cavity configured such that when the plates are assembled together, the cavities collectively form a reaction chamber; one or more seals, each seal disposed between a respective pair of the plates and surrounding the reaction chamber to seal the reaction chamber; and a first gas port in at least one of the plates of the reactor housing for supplying gas to or evacuating gas from the reaction chamber while the plates are assembled; supplying gas or evacuating gas from the reaction chamber; and measuring one or more characteristics of the reaction.
