Patent ID: 7939026

Claim:
An apparatus for creating a chemical hydride, comprising: a pseudo-plasma-electrolysis reactor having top and bottom surfaces, and defining a cavity; an aqueous solution formed of sodium metaborate and water, and which is received in the cavity; a cathode mounted on the bottom surface of the pseudo-plasma-electrolysis reactor and submerged in the aqueous solution; an anode moveably mounted on the top surface of the pseudo-plasma-electrolysis reactor and which is operable to move into, and out of fluidic ohmic electrical contact with the aqueous solution formed of the sodium metaborate and the water; and a source of electrical power electrically coupled to the anode and the cathode, and wherein the application of the electrical power to the anode and the cathode facilitates the chemical reaction of the sodium metaborate and the water to form a chemical hydride in the solution.
