Instand steam no electricity

[Cherryman]

Hi , i find this video.

They make instant steam out of a a mixture of mainly water and some alcohol, with a solid state catalyst.

They are not telling what the catalyst is, but i think something simple because they already imaged supermarket products with it.

But imagine instant steam , its instant power!

Anyone know anything more about this?

Where can I get me one of those!

"Half the temperature of a blowtorch"!?

I wonder if the principle is borrowed from silver/peroxide rockets.....sure be an easy way to boost their stock price!

If they did and got caught, that'd be one 'Bombardier Beetle' of a financial crapstorm....

I found the company was expecting to market those devices around 2009..

A find another interview he also say some peroxide is involved. Also states it is very cheap !!

LOL....I knew it!  Notice the very small amount of liquid in the bottle and at 2:39 in the video we hear the telltale hiss of further steam release.  No wonder he said "it's always risky doing them live".

I've no doubt the tech is nearing viability for specialized professional use, but is risky, and more expensive than he made it sound. 

This seems little more than a grab at a higher stock price, which, apparently succeeded.

Folks,  I found the patent, and on its pages 12-13 the catalyst is discussed.

The firm is  http://www.oxfordcatalysts.com/

Two patents:
http://v3.espacenet.com/searchResults?DB=EPODOC&submitted=true&locale=en_EP&query=Oxford+Catalysts&ST=singleline&compact=false

And I mean the first one on page 12 about the catalyst:
Steam production  WO2009013514

And their second patent (application) seems to deal with only catalysts, for the process...
see US application 2010168259  link is here
