    Abstract: Systems and methods related to deployable hydrogen reactors are described. In some embodiments, a system (e.g., a balloon system) may include a reaction chamber immersed in a body of water. By permitting a flow of water from the body of water into the reaction chamber, a reaction between a reactant and the water may be carried out to produce one or more lifting gases (e.g., hydrogen gas), which can be employed to subsequently inflate and launch the system in an automated fashion.

    Abstract: The reaction between aluminum metal and water holds promise for producing hydrogen; however, solid aluminum metal is difficult to manage and use, and the reactivity between aluminum and water is often difficult to control. Certain embodiments of the disclosure are related to a water-stable aluminum slurry comprising a plurality of activated aluminum particles dispersed in a fluid carrier. In some embodiments, the reactivity of the aluminum slurry in the presence of water may be easily controlled with the addition of various additives (e.g., surfactants). Additionally, methods of making and using the water-stable aluminum slurry to controllable manage the reactivity between aluminum and water are presented herein.

    Abstract: A stable aluminum slurry fuel and related systems and methods of use are provided herein. Certain embodiments of the disclosure are related to an aluminum slurry fuel comprising a plurality of aluminum particles dispersed in a carrier fluid. In some embodiments, the aluminum particles comprise an activating composition comprising gallium and/or indium. Additionally, methods of making and using the aluminum slurry fuel are presented herein. For instance, the resultant aluminum slurry fuel may react exothermically with water over a wide range of temperatures to produce hydrogen. The resulting slurry fuel may be used as an energy source for various applications and/or for generating hydrogen for other applications.
