Description

S Hydrogen fuel cell enhancement for engines The present invention relates generally to the field of internal combustion engines More particularly, this invention relates to methods and compositions for increasing fuel efficiency and modifying emissions characteristics of internal combustion engines powered by any fuel resource, for example finite fossil or renewable biofuels, through the hydrogen enhancement of fuel cells. The internal combustion engine is unequalled in its primary application as a portable power source. However, internal combustion engine use has been increasingly criticised largely, for example, because of low efficiency and polluting emissions.
It is well known that the electrolysis of water is the decomposition of water (H20) into oxygen (0) and hydrogen gas (H2) due to an electric current being passed through the water. Such an application is commonplace in the automotive industry where dry cells are used, meaning that part of the stainless steel used in the electrolysis process is outside the water. It is also well-known that in such a system the amount of hydrogen produced fluctuates. In addition the design of a conventional hydrogen fuel cell restricts the volume of water able to be contained in the void. This is due in no small part to the horizontal nature of the design whereby water is drawn in one side and is unable to completely fill the void above the inlet valve. This creates fluctuations in hydrogen production with less current flowing through because the cell plates are not covered with water all the time thus reducing the amperage output and therefore hydrogen oxygen production.
Furthermore conventional hydrogen cells are prone to the leaching of iron from plate edges which contributes to reduction in efficiency. Also in typical hydrogen fuel cells the production of hydrogen and oxygen is reduced due to the surfaces of the plates being untreated or scuffed and sealed away from the water by the coating applied during the stainless steel production process. Any edge' surface or hole in the plate will be the primary source production of the hydrogen.
Adding together these shortcomings in conventional hydrogen fuel cells means that the amount of hydrogen produced is greatly reduced for most of the time It is the intention of the present invention to overcome the above shortcomings and describe a hydrogen fuel cell which offers a guaranteed production of hydrogen for 100% of the time with no fluctuations white using less energy.
To achieve this, in accordance with a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a vertical assembly comprising a top casing and a bottom casing considerably smaller in overall size to existing hydrogen.fuel cells.
Located in the top casing are three connections; water inlet and gas outlet positioned either side of the central positive and negative electrical connections. The hydrogen fuel cell contains a single plate of two anode blades, a single plate of two cathode blades and nine neutral plates. All the plates are drilled with several holes and all the surfaces are ground on both sides to offer rough surfaces with peaks and troughs to enable good conductivity of hydrogen on the edges of the peaks and around the perimeter of the holes. The anode and cathode plates with their integral electrical connections are paired together and straddte the neutral plates facilitating a single connection instead of four which are commonly used with conventional hydrogen fuel cells.
In a preferred embodiment rubber sleeves surround just the edges of the anode and cathode plates leaving the majority of the plates exposed to prevent leaching at the edges1 to reduce heat and to reduce the negative effect of electrical current on the neutral plates when in use.
Between each third neutral plate a rubber sheet the same size as a neutral plate separates and insulates the surfaces between them. There are further rubber separators for the plates and anode and cathode blades, together with a variety of shaped rubber strips, which act as insulators.
The assembly of the plates is joined together by means of a central plastic screw and nut with a final rubber insulating sleeve fitted tightly over the completed assembly before it is lowered and placed into a bottom casing with a rubber separator piece placed inside at the base. The top casing is then fitted over the bottom casing, the two electrical terminals being positioned inside the central hole of the top casing ready to be connected to the battery terminals of an internal combustion engine.
A rubber gasket is placed around the flange of the bottom casing, care being taken to ensure it is accurately lined up and the two casing halves are bolted down with an array of bolts and nuts to create a gas tight seal.
The water and hydrogen connectors on the top casing are fitted with appropriate leads which are then attached to a water reservoir and a battery respectively.
As a result of the close proximity of the plates together with the configuration of the insulating rubber surrounding the anode and cathode plates, the configuration of the holes in the plates, the two halves of the casing being tightly sealed together on final assembly and the vertical orientation of the whole assembly, the creation of hydrogen in an internal combustion engine is not subject to fluctuation since the water content across the plates is constant.
With the plates covered by water 1009'o of the time the amperage output is therefore not subject to fluctuations, is continuous and runs at 100% of the time. For example, if 1 5A is the maximum output, the cell will run at that rate all the time, producing constant running amperage.
In addition, due to the configuration of the fuel cell there is no change in heat or pressure.
The stresses within the combustion chamber do not rise above the specification for that particular engine.
In order that the nature of the invention may be clearly understood an embodiment will now be described1 by way of example only, together with accompanying drawings, with reference to providing a method for enhancing the fuel efficiency of an internal combustion engine through the introduction of a more economical and higher performing hydrogen fuel cell.

S
Figure 1 shows a vertically orientated hydrogen fuel cell comprising two standard connectors 1 and 2 for water inlet and hydrogen gas outlet respectively and standard electrical connection 3, which are all fitted and securely sealed to top housing 4. Plates assembly 5 is secured together as a single unit by plastic screw and nut 5. Rubber sleeve 7 is fitted over the plates assembly 6, comprising anode plate 13, cathode plate 14 and neutral plates 18.
The assembly is then lowered into the bottom housing 8 at the base of which is positioned a damper in the form of strip of rubber. Insulation gasket 9 is laid on the flange joint and the bottom housing 8 is then offered up to the top housing 4. Two tangs 15 integral to the anode and cathode plates are the electrical terminals fitted to the electrical connection 3 in the top housing 4. The two housings are secured and sealed together via a series of nuts and bolts 11 arrayed around the flange perimeter, ready for standard electrical wiring 12 to be connected to 3.
In figures 2 and 3 identical flat sheets of metal preferably stainless steel, platinum or titanium are typically laser cut into the shape of the preferred embodiment to become, in figure 2, two anode blades 13, collectively described as an anode plate and, in figure 3, two cathode blades 14, collectively described as a cathode plate. An integral joining band 16 between the blades of both anode and cathode plates is shown at the top, electrical connection tang 15 is shown lower down and a set of three holes in each blade, the central one being the location hole for connecting the hydrogen fuel cell assembly together and the adjacent holes being the escape route for hydrogen production as well as facilitating the creation of hydrogen around the perimeter edges of the holes. The entire surface of the metal is ground on both sides to encourage the maximum production of hydrogen across the peaks of the rough surface.
In figure 4 the sheet of metal as shown in figures 2 and 3 has a rubber wrapping 17 fitted around the perimeter edges, common to both the anode plate and the cathode plate, to prevent the leaching of ions which would reduce the efficiency of hydrogen production; except for the electrical tang 15 which is kept bare.
In figure 5 the two pairs of anode and cathode plates, 13 and 14 respectively, are schematically depicted in a top plan view bent at right angles at the narrow joining bands 16 to enable the blades to lie parallel and in line with each other straddling the nine neutral plates 18 in between which therefore becomes the hydrogen fuel cell.
In figure 6 the hydrogen fuel cell, as assembled in figure 5 in accordance with aspects of the present invention, is shown in end elevation. The two pairs of anode and cathode blades 13 and 14 respectively are each shown linked by their respective joining bands 16. Nine neutral metal plates 18 manufactured approximately 10mm wider all round than the anode and cathode blades are positioned equidistant between the anode and cathode blades as follows: anode blade, three neutral plates, cathode blade, three neutral plates, anode blade, three neutral plates, cathode blade. It follows therefore that the two tangs 15 bent up from the anode and cathode blades comprise one positive and one negative electrical connection to a suitable battery. Rubber insulation of varying designs are laid in between the plates.
Figure 7 shows a preferred embodiment of a neutral plate 18 with three holes, common to all the plates according to aspects of the present invention, the central hole providing the means to connect them together via a plastic bolt and nut, The two other holes sited either side of the central hole double as the hydrogen route out and a means whereby hydrogen is generated via their edges. The surfaces of both sides are ground to become rough in order to achieve peaks and troughs which help to facilitate the production of hydrogen. Rubber strips 19, which are laid out in the suggested manner shown, form the partitions which separate and insulate the anode blade1 cathode blade and plates from each other.
In figure 8 a set of graphs and tables are shown which demonstrate the electrolyser combustion and emissions results of tests undertaken by the University of Birmingham. It will be seen in Birmingham University figure 4, that there is no net effect on NOx emissions, as NO decreases NO2 is increases, which is crucial when hydrogen is being introduced and shows that hydrogen is working when introduced into the fuel mix during combustion in the engine combustion chamber as expected.
The foregoing description details certain preferred embodiments of the present invention and describes the best mode contemplated. It will be appreciated, however, that changes may be made in the details of construction and the configuration of a components without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure.
Therefore, the description provided herein is to be considered exemplary, rather than S limiting, and the true scope of the invention is that defined by the following claims and the full range of equivalency to which each element thereof is entitled. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that any number of combinations of the aforementioned features and/or those shown in the appended drawings provide clear advantages over the prior art and are therefore within the scope of the invention described herein.
