Abstract:
The article discusses the phenomenon of pulsed tunneling effect and its application to various processes, including laser radiation generation and hydrogen production from water vapor. Various mechanisms of laser operation, in particular the CO$_{2}$ laser, are considered, and it is assumed that the pulsed tunnel effect can explain their high efficiency. The interaction of the pulsed tunnel effect with matter and the possibility of its use to increase the efficiency of various processes, including the synthesis of environmentally friendly hydrogen, are analyzed.
Keywords:pulsed tunnel effect, lasers, CO$_{2}$ laser, hydrogen, photocatalysis, process efficiency.
