Abstract

Propulsion apparatus employs 'cold fusion' of deuterium absorbed in a metal host lattice (7) to generate a heated momentum exchange effluent stream from the deuterium itself and/or to heat a momentum exchange fluid to provide a propulsive impulse upon exhausting through a nozzle (9). Thermal efficiency of a propulsion apparatus and an energy generating apparatus employing such 'cold fusion' of deuterium in a metal host lattice (7) is improved by using a deuterium (hydrogen)-absorbing metal lattice alloyed or compound with one or more of W, Re, Mo, Tu, Ti, Ir and C to raise the lattice melting point and permit higher 'cold fusion' temperatures.
