Description

DESCRIPTION

ThCHNICAL FIELD

[001] This invention relates to devices for creating hydrogen gas from the electrolysis of plain water and sea water.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[002] The generation of hydrogen from today's methods, defeat the object of a cleaner environment by producing hydrogen from fossil fuels, this can be overcome by a simple form of electrolysis from solar power ect, and achieve the same potential energy output, the cost of making hydrogen from fossil fuels is much greater than first predicted with the hidden costs from carbon dioxide production and other pollutants to the environment, the main reason for the use of hydrogen as a fuel reduces the emissions to zero and releases no pollutants or chemicals into the environment, at today's production rate hydrogen is still only 75% effIcient, so requires more energy input than of that produced.

Hydrogen is a highly desirable fuel source and readily available without the need to destroy the planet, the dream of many to have a cleaner future is becoming more of a reality due to the average person experimenting with ways to produce hydrogen at a lower cost than that, produced by the energy companies, these are the people who will make this dream come true. Those of us familiar in the art of the form of electrolysis know that it can be achieved and controlled to a point where the hydrogen can be used as the alternative fuel source for the plant.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[003] It is the object of this present invention to provide hydrogen gas from the electrolysis of plain water and sea water by means of a group of cells encased in a non conductive container filled with water.

[004] The object is to produce only hydrogen gas at.the core of the cell and zero oxygen from the outer core of the cell.

[005] It is also the object of this invention to manufacture the electrodes from two dissimilar metals compatible for the electrolysis of plain water, and similar metals of marine grade for sea water, to be cheap to manufficture and materials readily available on the market.

[006] The object of the invention is to provide a low power source to the enclosed electron core and creating a positive charged field around it from a single input wave.

[007] It is also the object of this invention to provide the same single wave length to the electrodes, but control the flow to the outer positively charged core increasing or decreasing the energy field of the core by means of changing the outer cores structure, thus keeping the power supply down to a minimum.

[008] It is the intention to construct the electrodes from 99.9% copper for the cathode and marine grade 1.4529 for the anode to be used in plain water.

[009] It is also the intention to construct the electrodes from marine grade 1.4529 for the cathode and marine grade 1.4529 for anode to be used in sea water.

[009] It is also the intention of this invention to provide an alternative fuel source for combustion engines by means of allowing the Orthohydrogen parallel nuclei to bond with water droplets, pressurise and vaporise it to a state ready for auto ignition.

[010] It is also the intention of this invention to construct the charge and discharge dc electrical units from parts readily available on the market.

[0111 It is also the intention of this invention to supply hydrogen gas from sea water to a gas turbine generator for electricity to the grid.

[012] The objects, features and characteristics of this present invention will be more apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description and appended claims with reference to the accompanying drawing.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

[013] Fig-I shows a frontal view (g) of an electrode housing for producing hydrogen with an array of electrodes (h)-(i) according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

[014] Fig-i also shows the positively charged outer core (h) coiled and wrapped around the negatively charged free flowing core (i) according to a second embodiment of this present invention.

[015] Fig-I shows (1) the de input charger unit connected to the electrode housing (g) and the electrodes (h)-(i) according to a third embodiment of this present invention.

[016] Fig-i shows (j)-(e) flanges connected to the electrode housing(g) by (f)-(d) tie rods according to a forth embodiment of this invention.

[0i7} Fig-i shows (c) atomiser header coupled to (e)-(g)-) by (1) according to a fifth embodiment of this invention, [018] Fig-i shows (a) pressure control outlet valve connected to (c) according to a sixth embodiment of this invention.

[019] Fig-i shows (b) the dc output discharger connected to the atomiser header (c) and (h)-(i) electrodes according to the fifth embodiment of this invention.

[020] Fig-I shows (m) fixture plates connected to (1) by means of (0 for permanent fixture of electrode housing according to the first embodiment of this invention.

[021] Fig-i shows (k) an electronically control water inlet valve connected to (j) and control the flow of water from an external device.

[022] Fig-i (c) also incorporates (ci) a polarised device for atomising the water droplets to a vapour form, and forced through (a) to the combustion chambers.

[023] In fig-I (I) creates a set single wave length to both (h)-(i) electrodes, this is discharged through (I,). (b)-(h)-(i)-(l) are connected in a parallel circuit.

[024] The wave length created by (I) is fed to (h)-(i) electrodes and altered by the cores structure before entering (b) this is discharged at high speed creating shockwaves in the core, (n) is used to control the positive flow and allow free flowing of the electrons in the core.

[025] (o) is a spacer used to maintain a set distance between the electrodes (h)-(i).

[026] A prototype of this present invention has been built and operated successfully within the optimal parameters indicated above to produce hydrogen on demand from water without an electrolyte, the output vaporised gas was fed to the fuel rail of a vehicle through a pressure control venturi, once the pressure had built up the normal fuel intake was shut of allowing just the vaporised gas to enter the chambers, the V6 engine vehicle was driven successfully without any faults including under full load, those that are skilled in the art will understand that by controlling the gas and vapour mixture only a third of the volume is required to that of petrol. By controlling the vapour mix from the atomiser, the gas becomes saturated, once it is wet it cannot pre ignite as it requires a specific temperature to ignite.
