It may be possible to use the same alloy for both uses if properly chosen and prepared.  * The Hydrogen generation materials may incorporate “trade secret items” revealed in confidential performance reports after IP is secured. * The plasma fusion system may opt to peak production of hydrogen instead of peaking production of heat ad efficiency results are tabulated.
