RE:More great news for HPQ today Very funny Uncleron, but I'm afraid you missed everything ( again).
First, it has nothing to do with a supposed new catalytic reaction.
This is simply the chemical reaction of fine silicon metal powder with water, producing hydrogen gas and silicon oxide.
This system was initially developed by solar panel manufacturers in Japan and China.
This is actually an ingenious way to use up their scrap metal powder.
First published in 2015. Plenty of articles available.
For your education, I am attaching the link to a simple technical article for anyone interested in learning more about this topic.
It seems to be all right for you to inflate and pump anything, but remember that a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. Good study.
