Low temperature catalytic thermolysis of water

[Sergh]

Brief summary of what has been done in the past 2 months:

An attempt to produce hydrogen by cavitation in a suspension of zeolite powder in water:

    1. Initially, it was planned to use a small gear pump for powerful low-frequency cavitation.
   
    The process of cavitation with water pump similar to cavitation on this video:

The small hydraulic oil pump I purchased is driven by a 200 watt electric motor. Previously used to move the dental chair. According to the seller, the pump is capable of creating a pressure of more than 20 atmospheres.
But even with clean water, the pump could not work. The bronze bushings that act as bearings in it, in the absence of oil, axes of the gears stick to the steel  after a few seconds of rotation at full speed.

I have purchased gear pumps of several other types, but they also have bronze bushing bearings. It seems to be said that there are some gear pumps with bearings made of aluminum alloys or even plastic, but I have not found any yet. Plastic gear pumps with a low-voltage motor, according to reviews, do not create a sufficiently high pressure.

    2. Plunger pumps for coffee machines, vibration solenoid pumps etc..

    What is plunger pumps for coffee machines:

Two such plunger pumps create a pressure of more than 15 atmospheres without a safety valve. One creates pressure up to 3 atmospheres, but a large flow of water.

The one other creates a pressure of more than 25 atmospheres, but a small flow. I used this pump for testing.
I blocked the inlet and exit with valves, similarly to the video about cavitation, the link to which was at the beginning.
The inlet pressure drops to a significant vacuum. In a transparent tube, you can see how water boils at a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius.
Water with zeolite powder passes in a circle through the storage tank. From the storage tank, the resulting gas was pumped into a tank with a hydrogen sensor.
The amount of water passing through the storage tank during cavitation, i.e. with almost closed valves, very small, a couple of drops per second.
No significant production of hydrogen was found in this variant. The MQ-8 sensor has a voltage of 0.1 - 0.2 volts, which is very small and may also indicate the presence of water vapor.

Heating water in the storage tank to 80 degrees Celsius also did not give positive results.

Forward movement. Dissociation of water dissolved in another liquid.

Prerequisites:

- this patent states a condition:

https://patents.google.com/patent/US3963830A/en

For low-temperature dissociation, the zeolite should contain from 5% to 15% water. In liquid water, decomposition probably follows a different path, with the formation of hydrogen peroxide and free radicals of hydrogen ions. For some reason, hydrogen does not separate as a gas. At least not in large quantities.
What if there was not water? Or even almost no water at all?
Interesting video on this topic:

I don't understand what kind of ionized water is used.

Well ...it would seem ( in my opinion) he just put a
Charge into the water? Like a capacitor effect ??
Perhaps we should ask him ?
Here another charge claim which needs investigations !

For me it's time to stop kicking the tires ...
Your work is wonderful ( various investigations)
I hope to join in soon !

Including above which also must cause some water/ fuel emulsification  ..(oil fuel)
Very easy bench experiment to try ( your video again https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-IwTl-OAdaM&feature=youtu.be
Does simply charging water cause fuel and water emulsification !

[Sergh]

Yes, it will probably work, with fuel. For example, to detach oxygen from a water molecule using alcohol, under certain conditions. And the simultaneous release of hydrogen. This method is described somewhere in the link about photolysis. But the use of conventional fuel does not harmonize with this topic. More interesting is the use of non-flammable liquids with a high boiling point, such as silicone oil or fluorocarbon.

News!
It turned out to make hydrogen evolution without heating over 400 C and without vacuum -99 kPa.

Added alternating high-voltage current to obtain a barrier discharge. Such as in ozonizers or in plasma balls. Control run without zeolite - no or very little hydrogen.

While there are problems - the zeolite deteriorates due to local discharges, some balls turn black.
