Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for combustion of hydrogen to produce heat, for example for generating steam for power generation.
  • Hydrogen for use as a fuel for example to generate steam for power generation, has previously been stored in cylinders for subsequent combustion.
  • a method of combustion of hydrogen is provided which generates much more heat than such traditional hydrogen combustion methods.
  • a method of combustion of hydrogen to produce heat comprises electrolysing water and passing the hydrogen products and a fraction of the oxygen products of this electrolysis immediately to a first combustion zone for effective combustion there of the oxygen products and a fraction of the hydrogen products. Then, immediately thereafter, the products from this first combustion zone and the remaining fraction of the oxygen products from the electrolysis are passed to a second combustion zone for combustion. The heat produced is applied to a desired use.
  • the products of combustion from the second combustion zone may, for example, be passed through water to boil the water.
  • the steam thereby produced can be used for power generation according to traditional techniques.
  • an apparatus for generating steam from water for power generation comprising a pair of independent means for electrolysis of water and with first and second combustion chambers.
  • Means are provided to pass hydrogen products from both the means for electrolysis of water to the first combustion chamber, and to pass oxygen products from one of the means for electrolysis of water to the first of the combustion chambers and from the other of the means for electrolysis of water to the second combustion chamber.
  • a valve controlled passageway is provided between the combustion chambers to permit controlled fluid communication between these chambers.
  • Ignition means are associated with each combustion chamber to permit ignition of the hydrogen and oxygen products in each combustion chamber at predetermined times.
  • heat transfer means are provided to receive the combustion products from the second combustion chamber and pass them through the water to be changed to steam.
  • a high voltage induction means is associated with the means to pass hydrogen products from one of the means for electrolysis of water to the combustion chamber. This high voltage induction means is used for generating hydrogen ions from the hydrogen products passing therethrough.
  • the method and apparatus of the present invention generate much heat than the normal combustion of hydrogen.
  • the apparatus and process of the present invention permit the efficient use of hydrogen by forming very small amounts of deuterium by igniting a mixture of H(atomic) and H + (protons) in the presence of oxygen.
  • the deuterium thus formed reacts with oxygen forming deuterium oxide (heavy water).
  • the remaining hydrogen and oxygen being largely in the atomic state, combine much more violently generating much more heat than normal hydrogen would.
  • the apparatus as illustrated consists of two electrolytic cells (1) which generate hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis of aciduiated water. Electrodes (3) are insulated (4) so that the products of electrolysis, hydrogen and oxygen, are generated only inside the tubes (2) and are discharged into the combustion chambers (10 and 11) through the attached tubes (8 and 9). All the hydrogen generated by the two electrolytic cells is discharged into the first combustion chamber (10) through a simple ball valve (12). Oxygen from one electrolytic cell is discharged into first combustion chamber (10) and from the other into the second combustion chamber (11). One of the tubes carrying hydrogen is connected by an insulated rod (18) to a high voltage induction coil (not shown). This drains electrons from hydrogen atoms in the tube, generating protons.
  • the induction coil induces impulses of high voltage at fairly high frequency.
  • the mixture of gases in the first combustion chamber (10) thus consists of H, H + , H, and O.
  • spark plug (17) sparking continuously at a fairly high frequency, H and H * will react forming D, which in turn will react with O, forming D,O.
  • the amount of D, formed will depend on the number of protons generated by the high voltage induction in the tube containing hydrogen. The generation of protons is at random. The remaining H and H, will also react with the remaining 0 to form super heated steam.
  • the super heated mixture of H,O and D,O pass through valve (14) into a flue tube (15) which is connected to it by nuts (20) as shown.
  • the flue gases are circulated through the flue tube (15) inside the boiler vessel (16) containing water.
  • the water in the boiler vessel (16) is converted into steam. This steam can be utilized through a pressure valve (not shown) connected at 19.
  • the general assembly of the electrolytic cells is connected to the boiler vessel by means of flanges, plate and volts and there is an insulating board (6) between the two.
  • the two combustion chambers are assembled together by plates, flanges and bofts, as shown.
  • the apparatus shown is only a fundamental unit for steam generation. A number of such units can be grouped together, depending on the size of the power generation unit.
