Abstract
A hydrogen production unit is described comprising an electronic circuit which enables the production of hydrogen, via electrolysis of water, using pulsed frequency which is substantially the resonance frequency of the hydrogen atom. These frequency pulses may be adjusted as required.
Description
Background of the Invention
A Device for the Generation and Production of Hydrogen The requirement, design and implementation of carbon free alternative fuel and power source have increased substantially globally. In particular, the transport sector, diesel and petrol fuel internal combustion engines are currently being replaced with Electric/ Electric Hydrogen Hybrid fuel cell technologies. Hydrogen, being a clean fuel, has been identified as an area where it can prove its value in multiple applications, achieving a major contribution to a net carbon zero emissions future.
Powered electrolysis (the splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen) produces "green" hydrogen which can then be utilised as required as a clean fuel source. The only by-product is water, therefore using hydrogen as a fuel will substantially reduce toxic emissions.
In consideration of this, the invention as described has application in multiple energy requirements, including the home, automotive, agriculture, aircraft and marine Industry. By utilising water from a water supply tank as feed source with key components being Anode and Cathode Electrodes. This is then converted through electrolysis to produce hydrogen, providing a direct fuel to hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine, Domestic or Industrial Boiler. The resultant waste product is solely water and heat, with no carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide produced, thus providing net zero carbon emissions.
The Hydrogen generating and production device is scaleable and will allow development at multiple levels on a wide variety of applications, providing major sustainable support to the renewable, carbon free energy market.
Description
There are 7 off circuit diagrams comprising the following: 1. The main Circuit Diagram -Ref Doc 001 drawing sheet 1 of 7 2. The pulse shaping circuit -Ref Doc 001 drawing sheet 2 of 7 3. The pulse signal generation circuit -Ref Doc 001 drawing sheet 3 of 7 4. The amplifier circuit -Ref Doc 001 drawing sheet 4 of 7 5. The frequency switching circuit -Ref Doc 001 drawing sheet 5 of 7 6. The frequency doubler circuit -Ref Doc 001 drawing sheet 6 of 7 7. The driver circuit -Ref Doc 001 drawing sheet 7 of 7 Cant 1. Pulse Shaping circuit (Drg Sheet 2 of 7) This sub-unit consist of a CD4069 CMOS Hex Inverter configured to act as a Trigger Oscillator. The frequencies are set by the switchable capacitor chain Cl to C4 and the selected frequencies can be adjusted by the 2k potentiometer. The output of 44C is fed to pin 2 (TRIG) of the 555 timer. If the voltage on this pin falls below 1/2 of the pin 5 (CON) voltage, the output goes HIGH and the timing interval starts. As long as this pin is kept LOW, the OUT pin (3) remains HIGH.
2. Pulse Signal Generation circuit (Drg Sheet 3 of 7) This sub-unit is built around a 555 Timer IC. The signal from U4 pin 6 is taken to pin 2 of the timer (See above). Pin 5 of the timer, Control (CON), accepts signal form the output of the operational amplifier (U6 pin 6). By applying voltage to this pin alters the timing characteristics of this device via internal voltage divider. Pins 6 and 7 (threshold THR and discharge DIS) go via the pulse width potentiometer to the positive rail. When the voltage at pin 6 is greater than the voltage at pin 5 (CON), the timing interval ends (output OUT pin 3 is high). Pin 7 (DIS) is an open collector output which is used to discharge capacitor C7 between intervals in phase with the output. Pin 4 is the rest (RST) contact which resets the timing interval by driving this pin to ground. Output (OUT) pin 3 is a push/pull output that is driven to either LOW or High at Vcc minus -1.7 V. 3. Amplifier circuit (Drg Sheet 4 of 7) A 741 operational amplifier is used configured as an inverting amplifier. The inverting input pin (2) is taken via the POWER potentiometer to the output (pin 6). Pin 3 (non-inverting input) goes via R1 to THR which will be connected to a 100k potentiometer.
4. Frequency Switching circuit (Drg Sheet 5 of 7) In order to get a greater selection of frequencies a frequency doubler is employed. A two-way switch takes the output from the 555 timer to either x1 or x2 multiplication towards the driver IC TC4420CPA pin 2.
5. Frequency Doubler circuit (Drg Sheet 6 of 7) This circuit uses a 4011 IC configured as inverters. The input of U1A receives a signal which is a square wave having a duty cycle of -50%. U1A inverts and buffers the input signal while U1B inverts the input again. The outputs of U1A at the points A and B are 180° out of phase square wave signals. The outputs of U1A/B are being distinguished by Cl, R2 and C2, R1 respectively. The two spike waveforms of C and D are also 180° out of phase. The signals coming from U1B are being inverted, shaped and buffered by U1C and U1D. The final stage is done by U1D as it inverts the signal from U1C which results that the frequency is twice that of the input signal. The circuit will cover a wide range of frequencies.
6. Driver Circuit (Drg Sheet 7 of 7) To drive the power MOSFET IRF830, a TC4420 Driver IC is used. The signal from the pin 3 of the timer and the switching arrangement is led to pin 2 of this IC the output of which drives the MOSFET which in turn switches off and on the output to the electrodes.
