Abstract: ENERGY IS TRANSFERRED THROUGH THE COLUMNS TO BARIUM OXIDE CRYSTALS RETAINED IN THE COLUMNS BY MESH. AS THE TEMPERATURE OF THE BARIUM OXIDE CRYSTALS INCREASES, AIR FLOW THROUGH THE INLET PASSAGE AND THE COLUMNS FORMS BARIUM PEROXIDE WHILE THE UNREACTED GAS AND NITROGEN FLOW THROUGH AN OUTLET PASSAGE INTO THE ENVIRONMENT.

AN APPARATUS FOR HEATING BARIUM OXIDE TO A REACTION TEMPERATURE WITH AIR TO FORM BARIUM PEROXIDE. THE APPARATUS HAS A HOUSING WITH AN AIR INLET PASSAGE WHICH PARTIALLY SURROUNDS AND IS CONNECTED TO AN INTERNAL CHAMBER. CENTRALLY LOCATED IN THE INTERNAL CHAMBER ARE HOLLOW PLATE MEMBERS INTERLOCKED BY A SERIES OF FRICTIONAL ABUTTING SLOTS TO FORM RECTANGULAR COLUMNS. INSIDE OF THE HOLLOW PLATE MEMBERS BETWEEN THE SLOTS A PLURALITY OF ELEMENTS ARE CONNECTED TO A SOURCE OF ELECTRICITY. A BLANKET OF ELECTRICALLY INSULATING MATERIAL SURROUNDS EACH ELEMENT TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL ENERGY FROM BEING TRANSMITTED TO THE PLATE MEMBERS. A CONTROL SWITCH REGULATES THE FLOW OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY TO EACH ELEMENT WHICH CONVERTS THE ELECTRICAL ENERGY TO THERMAL ENERGY. THIS THERMAL
