I have got to come up to speed on few things.
Namely... I have been taking a look at Hydrogen peroxide as a ready and rapid source of very high temperature and pressure steam, to drive a steam turbine to produce electricity. This process requires a catalyst and typically also includes additional water and ethanol... but I am thinking of substituting for Ispropyl Alcohol.... The catalyst however, is typically a SILVER SCREEN very fine and pretty dense. Also used is a Manganese powder.
Neither of which ranks high for me... so I was looking for something a little more reactive for my need and I came up with Lithium Alimunium Hydride. This stuff seems relatively inexpensive and is pretty available... and is suppose to have a "violent reaction" with water. I suspect a similar reaction with H2O2 but I am a little concerned that H2O2 is pretty explosive itself in high concentrations (above 70%).
Has anyone found or experimented in this area? I have seen where both components are used in a hybrid fuel cell... and there is a patent on FreeOnlinePatents... but that is a slightly different application... as they are not putting the H2O2 into contact with the Lithium Aluminum Hydride.
So if you have any information or links to good info in this area... it would be greatly appreciated, I do not want to BLOW MYSELF up.
