List of patents using catalysts

[thrival]

Hi all.

I tried to inlcude only those simple enough, using cheap and available
materials that folks can afford. A person needs to read between the lines or just read more elsewhere to learn how the catalysts are regenerated. I omit Linnard Griffin's patents which are listed elsewhere and seem a bit redundant of the prior art, which I was a little surprised to discover. My guess is AlaskaStar "rediscovered" one of these too, but if his method is really new, or a different configuration, hats off.

Hydrogen power patents:

...and here's an interesting link to the explosive power of water. (HV experimenters take note!)

If these patents exist, has anyone tried them? AlaskaStar, how accurate do you think the documents are?
