Drawing of the Patterson Power Cell.

The CETI Patterson Power Cell is a patented electrolysis device invented by James A. Patterson. The device is composed of a non-conductive housing filled with a large number of small plastic beads coated with thin film layers of nickel and a metal hydride, as well as a solution of a conductive salt in water, through which an electric current flows. During the operation of the device, some of the water in it is reduced to oxygen and hydrogen gasses and these gasses are allowed to flow out of the device.

Dr. Dennis Cravens, a physicist, worked with Dr. Patterson in 1995 to optimize the heat-generating capacity of the Patterson Power Cell. On December 4, 1995, Patterson and Cravens jointly applied for a United States patent. The patent was granted on March 4, 1997.

A Patterson Power Cell was demonstrated at POWER–GEN 95, a power generation conference and exhibition.

On February 7, 1996, ABC News shows Good Morning America and Nightline featured stories about the Patterson Power Cell.
