Abstract

A reversible storage of media, which includes a storage core, an intermediate storage, a catalyst and a protective sheathing. With the opening of the protective sheathing, the stored medium is heated in the catalyst layer, which is caused by the resulting oxygen admission. The storage gets by without any outside heat source, since the binding energy in the intermediate storage is much smaller than that of the main storage, so that the intermediate storage acts as a starter for the reaction. The storage is especially used for heating food including beverages, for heat treating patients in shock and as a quick responding hydrogen storage for release of hydrogen without the input of outside energy.
