Description

The present invention relates to a configuration of an electrolytic tool for producing hydrogen water, which is arbitrarily charged into a metal container containing drinking water or other liquids and exerts an effective electrolyzing action in the container.

Recently, based on the knowledge that hydrogen water has an antioxidant effect, hydrogen water in containers such as PET bottles and aluminum cans is sold as a commercial product, and similar hydrogen water can be made at home. Cartridges for producing hydrogen water containing a hydrogen generating agent and electrolytic hydrogen water generators are provided.

As methods for making hydrogen water, (1) a method of filling water with hydrogen gas under pressure, (2) a method of generating hydrogen molecules by a chemical reaction between magnesium and water, or aluminum, calcium oxide and water, (3). There are methods such as electrolyzing water, most of the hydrogen water in the container is by the method (1), and the hydrogen water generation cartridge containing a hydrogen generating agent is by the method (2), the electrolytic method. The hydrogen water generator is based on the method (3).

However, the method (1) cannot be adopted in ordinary households, and the filled hydrogen gas tends to disappear in PET bottles and the like, and a stable hydrogen concentration cannot be maintained. In addition, the method (2) may change the taste of drinking water and is not suitable for drinking liquids such as tea and juice. Further, the method (3) has a problem that the structure of the container body including the electrode portion is large, a power source (electrical energy) is required, and the product price is high.

In relation to solving such problems, some synthetic resin beverage containers (inner containers) such as PET bottles are provided in the container body (outer container) made of metal such as aluminum at predetermined intervals. In the space between the metal container body and the synthetic resin beverage container, _{a slurry obtained by gelling fine powder of quartz flashwood containing silicic acid (SiO 2} ) is stored, and the metal container body and the container body ORP of various beverages contained in the beverage container by causing a predetermined electrolytic reaction between the synthetic resin beverage container and the beverage _{via a slurry of quartz flash green fluff containing silicic acid (SiO 2).} A beverage container having a lower (oxidation-reduction potential) has been proposed (see Patent Document 1).

This beverage container is intended to prevent the oxidation of various beverages contained in the synthetic resin beverage container (inner container), and is not necessarily intended to generate hydrogen water, but is contained in the beverage container. A simple and easy hydrogen water that does not require a power source (electrical energy) as long as it produces a reducing action in lowering the ORP of the beverage contained in the beverage and its electrolytic action contributes effectively. It is possible to construct a beverage container for production.

Japanese Patent No. 4918277

However, in the case of the beverage container of Patent Document 1, _{the slurry of quartz flash green fluff containing silicic acid (SiO 2} ) is a metal container body (outer container) and a synthetic resin beverage container (inner container). It is in between and is in contact with the beverage through a beverage container made of synthetic resin, which is an insulator. Therefore, even if electrostatic induction occurs between the slurry and the beverage, no current can flow between the slurry and the beverage.

In addition, a basic band power supply is required to cause electrostatic induction. In the case of this beverage container, _{fine powder of quartz flash porcine containing silicic acid (SiO 2} ) is gelled and then slurried to increase fluidity, so that the charging action due to friction between _{silicic acid (SiO 2) particles} However, the possibility of charging as it is is doubtful because the _{silicic acid (SiO 2} ) particles do not flow naturally just because they are made into a slurry. It is also possible that convection occurs due to the influence (conduction) of the beverage temperature, but this requires a considerably high temperature, and silicic acid (SiO ₂ ) particles having a large specific gravity do not flow so easily. Given these circumstances, it is not possible to find a band power supply, and it is unlikely that electrostatic induction will occur.

Further, the synthetic resin beverage container is not provided with any positive or negative electrode components, and is not configured to allow an electrolytic current to flow.

In short, in this beverage container, the reason why the ORP of the beverage in the beverage container is lowered in the above configuration has not been electrochemically elucidated, and its effect is not clear.

Therefore, when the hydrogen water generation container is constructed by adopting the configuration of Patent Document 1, it is considered that the hydrogen water generation function is limited. Further, in the case of Patent Document 1, the container itself to be used must be configured as a container dedicated to hydrogen water generation due to its structure, and the double wall structure of the outer container and the inner container, and the gelled slurry material between them. The storage and structure are complicated, and it cannot be constructed simply and inexpensively.

The present invention has been made to solve these problems, and does not require a hydrogen generating agent or a power source, and only needs to be put into a commonly used metal container such as a heat insulating pot for a required time. It is an object of the present invention to provide an electrolytic tool for producing hydrogen water, which exerts an effective electrolyzing action with the metal container and enables efficient generation of hydrogen water.

The invention of the present application is configured to include the following configurations as means for solving the above problems.

(1) Means for Solving the Problem of the Invention of Claim 1 The means for solving the problem of the invention of claim 1 includes an electrolyzed material having a charcoal function and a far-infrared radiation function and functions as an electrolysis source, and the electrolysis. Hydrogen water that contains an element and is composed of an electrolytic case that charges the electric charge from the electrolytic element, and exerts an electrolytic action with the liquid container in a metal liquid container that contains a conductive liquid. An electrolytic tool for generation, the electrolytic element is composed of a mesh member having a plurality of layers in the radial direction provided with a pyroelectric material on the entire outer peripheral surface, and the electrolytic case is composed of a cylindrical body made of a charged synthetic resin. It is characterized by being.

The electrolytic tool for generating hydrogen water in the problem-solving means of the present invention includes a pyroelectric material having a pyroelectric function and a far-infrared radiation function, and charges an electrolytic element that functions as an electrolytic source with a charge from the electrolytic element. It is configured to be housed in an electrolytic case, and in a metal liquid container containing a conductive liquid, it exerts an effective electrolysis action with the liquid container, thereby generating hydrogen water. It is designed to do.

That is, in the case of the same configuration, the pyroelectric substance (electlet) of the electrolytic element that functions as an electrolytic source in the electrolytic action (reducing action of the conductive liquid) for hydrogen water (hydrogen) generation is far in addition to the pyroelectric function. It has an infrared radiation function. Therefore, due to the pyroelectric function, the electrolytic element is first charged to a predetermined electric field level, and the electrolytic element acts as a band power source to induce electrostatic induction. As a result, the electrolytic case containing the electrolytic element is charged to a predetermined electric field level (induced charging).

As a result, the electrolytic case comes to function as an electrode member (electrolytic electrode) having a predetermined potential with a charge of a predetermined polarity on the entire outer peripheral surface thereof, and is made of a metal containing a conductive liquid such as a drinking liquid. In the liquid container of the above, an effective electrolytic action (reducing action) is exerted with the metal liquid container, and hydrogen is effectively generated.

By the way, water is generally _{represented as a molecular structure H 2} O, but the actual state of water is very complicated, such as the bond between the atoms of hydrogen H _{2 and oxygen O constituting the water molecule H 2 O, and water.} The way molecules are connected and gathered is dynamic, and it is not temporarily in a static state. In addition, since water molecules are one dipole, interactions occur between water molecules, and various interactions also occur with other dissolved ions. Although water is a molecule clusters typically H _{2 O} molecules are 5-6 bond, when there are other elements molecules and impurities, enters their molecules in the cluster, further binding of several tens of molecules .. Such a bonded state cannot be easily decomposed only by an electrochemical method called electrolysis. Drinking water such as mineral water also contains various minerals, and the tendency becomes stronger in the case of tea and juice containing catechins and polyphenols.

Therefore, in order to efficiently electrolyze (reduce) hydrogen in such various beverage liquids, it is necessary to crush such a cluster structure by some method other than the above electrochemical method.

Therefore, in the problem-solving means of the present invention, the pyroelectric material of the electrolytic element serving as the electrolysis source has a pyroelectric function as well as a far-infrared radiation function generated by the pyroelectric function. Far infrared rays are electromagnetic waves as is well known, Advantageously, the molecular vibration region, the natural frequency (all molecules of the water molecules H _{2 O} has a unique frequency in the molecular region, constant vibrations Has a wavelength band that matches (is). Therefore, when radiating far infrared rays of the same wavelength band in a liquid with the conductive, effectively resonance of the molecular vibration region with a water molecule H _{2 O} portion of the cluster structure (resonance) occurs.

When the resonance of the molecular vibrations regions water molecules H _{2 O} portions of the cluster structure occurs, vibration between molecules and atoms in the molecule vibration region, stretching, bending occurs, the water molecules or between other elements molecules The intermolecular binding force of the above is weakened, the cluster structure is physically crushed, and the intermolecular binding force is weakened. As a result, in the above-mentioned electrolysis action, the separation of the oxygen molecule O and the hydrogen molecule H _{2 of the water molecule H 2} O is promoted even in actions other than the above electrochemical reaction (these actions are synergistic). Therefore, hydrogen molecules H ₂ are efficiently deposited on the inner wall surface side of the metal container, and oxygen molecules O are efficiently deposited on the outer peripheral surface side of the electrolytic case.

As described above, when the electrolytic tool for hydrogen water generation by the problem-solving means of the present invention is used, an effective hydrogen generation action in which electrochemical and physical (mechanical) actions are synergistic is realized as its basic action. can do. Moreover, the configuration is made of a metal in which an electrolytic element that acts as such an electrolytic source (band power supply) is housed in an electrolytic case that acts as an electrode member and acts as another electrode such as a heat insulating pot. Since it is only necessary to put it in the container for a predetermined time, it is extremely simple and convenient, does not require a power source (electrical energy), and can be configured at an extremely low cost. And it can be used for a long period of time.

However, in the case of such a configuration, there is no power source, and the electric field potential as an electrolytic source depends only on the pyroelectric function of the pyroelectric material described above. The same applies to the far-infrared radiation function. Therefore, when trying to secure sufficient hydrogen production capacity in a practical sense, the above basic (principle) configuration alone is not sufficient.

Therefore, in the problem-solving means of the present invention, the electrolytic element is made of a plurality of layers of mesh members in the radial direction in which a pyroelectric substance is provided on the entire outer peripheral surface thereof, and a pyroelectric action and a far-infrared radiation action are performed. While the total amount of electrical material and the area of action is extremely large, the charge from the pyroelectric material on the mesh part on the inner layer side and far infrared rays are not blocked by the outer layer side, and are on the outer periphery in the radial direction. It is designed to be released and emitted efficiently. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a necessary and sufficient pyroelectric action and far-infrared radiation action that can withstand practicality, and a sufficient hydrogen generation ability can be realized.

On the premise of this, the electrolytic case forming the electrode portion is made of a charged synthetic resin cylindrical body, and the electrolytic element composed of a plurality of layers of mesh members in the radial direction has the same charge. It is stored extremely compactly in a cylindrical body made of synthetic resin, and the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical electrolytic case made of synthetic resin having the same chargeability is efficiently charged with a charge of a predetermined polarity. As a result, an effective electrolytic electrode member as an electrolytic source (band power source) can be configured.

In the above configuration, the metal container is assumed to be a stainless steel container such as a heat insulating pot generally used at home. As is well known, the charge column order of iron-based metals such as stainless steel is on the negative side (around -525 mv at natural potential). Therefore, as the synthetic resin material of the electrolytic case made of synthetic resin, an acrylic material (acrylic plate) that is easily charged positively (+) in which the charging column order is largely deviated to the positive side is selected. As a result, a large number of positive charges are densely charged on the outer peripheral surface of the electrolytic case to maintain a high positive potential, and are negatively charged so that an effective electrolytic current flows between the electrolytic case and the low potential stainless steel container. Therefore, an effective electrolysis (reduction) action is realized, and hydrogen is efficiently generated.

(2) Invention of claim 2 The problem-solving means of the invention of claim 2 is the configuration of the problem-solving means of the invention of claim 1, wherein the pyroelectric material having a pyroelectric function and a far-infrared radiation function is spontaneously polarized. It is characterized in that it is composed of polar crystals having an action.

The pyroelectric material having a pyroelectric function and a far-infrared radiation function is composed of polar crystals having a spontaneous polarization action such as a certain tourmaline ore. Some tourmaline ores have a twisted crystal structure (the centers of positive and negative charges of the constituent atoms do not match) and exhibit permanent electrical polarity due to spontaneous polarization. In the crystal structure of polar crystal tourmaline, the pointed one is polarized to the positive pole and the flat one is polarized to the negative pole, unless there is electrical neutralization on the crystal surface due to the influence of external charges. Permanently maintain the +-electrical polarity.

Therefore, it is most suitable as a pyroelectric material having a pyroelectric function (electret function) as described above, and effectively functions as an electrolytic source (band power source) for forming an electric field without using a power source (electric energy). In addition, it has a far-infrared radiation function associated with the pyroelectric effect, and causes a resonance action in the molecular vibration region described above with water molecules. The emissivity of far infrared rays is also high. In addition, the polar crystal tourmaline ore can be easily integrated into the mesh member of the fibrous structure by coating or other methods (fiberized and spun) by making it into a fine powder of about several μ, and can be integrated into the entire mesh member. Uniform pyroelectric and far-infrared radiation functions can be imparted.

(3) Invention of claim 3 The problem-solving means of the invention of claim 3 is the configuration of the problem-solving means of the invention of claim 1 or 2, wherein the pyroelectric material is further a blackbody material made of carbon nanotubes. It is characterized in that it is mixed to form a complex electrolytic material having a higher charcoal function and far-infrared radiation function.

The positions of the atoms that make up the crystals of the above-mentioned polar crystals and other pyroelectric materials are dependent on temperature, and when the temperature is changed, the positions of the constituent atoms also change. Then, the level of spontaneous polarization (potential difference between + -poles, that is, pyroelectric level) also changes accordingly. In general, cooling the crystal lowers the pyroelectric level, and warming it raises the pyroelectric level. Therefore, when the crystal is heated to a predetermined temperature and the pyroelectric level is raised, the potential difference (voltage) between the + and-poles becomes high. This potential difference (voltage) is higher and more stable as the insulation level between the + and-poles is higher. In addition, a predetermined level of electric field is formed by this, and the electric charge corresponding to the electric field is accumulated to become a strong dielectric.

Therefore, in order for the pyroelectric substance (polar crystal) to function effectively as an electrolytic source that does not require electrical energy, a heating means (heating source) to a predetermined temperature is required. Of course, when the liquid in a metal container such as an electric kettle is tea or the like, the temperature of the liquid may be 30 to 40 ° C. ) Is stored in the space of the sealed synthetic resin electrolytic case with a predetermined gap, and the temperature of the liquid is not directly conducted. However, if the temperature of the liquid is as high as 30 to 40 ° C, far infrared rays are sufficiently emitted from the liquid, and if this is efficiently absorbed, the above-mentioned pyroelectric substance (polar crystal) is effectively added. Can be warmed. However, although the pyroelectric material (polar crystal) has a high emissivity of far infrared rays, it is a crystal of natural ore after all, and far infrared rays from a liquid of about 30 to 40 ° C are emitted at the interface portion. Not enough to absorb effectively.

Therefore, in the problem-solving means of the present invention, a blackbody substance made of carbon nanotubes is mixed with the pyroelectric substance (polar crystal body), and the blackbody substance is made to function as a heating means (heating source). Therefore, the pyroelectric function and the far-infrared radiation function are further effectively improved.

As is well known, the blackbody (100% emissivity) has the highest emissivity of far infrared rays, and is called a complete radiator. However, this is a conceptual object and does not exist in reality. Currently, among the materials that can be mass-produced industrially, carbon nanotubes have an emissivity of 99%, which is the closest to that of a blackbody. Therefore, when a blackbody material made of carbon nanotubes is mixed with the pyroelectric material (polar crystal), the pyroelectric material (polar crystal) becomes close to a blackbody as a whole, and the absorption rate of far infrared rays becomes high. It will be very expensive. As a result, the heating function of the temperature-dependent pyroelectric substance (polar crystal body) can be realized, and the pyroelectric function and the far-infrared radiation function can be effectively improved.

In addition, since the blackbody material made of the carbon nanotubes has an extremely high emissivity of far-infrared rays of 99%, it also functions as an effective far-infrared radiation material based on the elevated temperature, and the molecular vibration region described above. The resonance phenomenon with water molecules in the above will be further promoted. As a result, according to the same configuration, a more effective hydrogen generation function is realized.

As a result of the above, according to the present invention, it is only necessary to put the liquid in a commonly used metal liquid container such as a heat insulating pot for a required time without requiring a hydrogen generating agent or a power source (electrical energy). It is possible to provide an extremely simple and inexpensive hydrogen water producing means capable of efficiently producing hydrogen water by exerting an effective electrolyzing action with the metal liquid container.

Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of the hydrogen water generating electrolyzer according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8 attached.

<Characteristics of the electrolyzer for hydrogen water generation according to the embodiment of the present invention>
The electrolyzer for hydrogen water generation according to the embodiment of the present invention includes an electrolytic material having a charcoal function and a far-infrared radiation function, and the electrolytic element functioning as an electrolytic source is an electrolytic case made of a highly chargeable synthetic resin. An electrolytic system (electrolysis mechanism) that is housed inside and can be reduced to and from a metal beverage container such as an electric pot that is generally used. ) Is formed, and the beverage liquid in the beverage container can be electrolyzed.

The electrolytic element, which is an electrolytic source, is composed of a plurality of layers of mesh members in the radial direction wound around a roll structure. , An electrolytic substance having a complex structure composed of two kinds of substances, a heating means that absorbs far infrared rays from a drinking liquid and heats a pyroelectric substance and a black body substance that functions as a far infrared radiation means, is provided. ing.

The pyroelectric material is formed of polar crystals having a spontaneous polarization function such as tourmaline ore, and the blackbody material is formed of a material having an extremely high far-infrared emissivity such as carbon nanotubes. The pyroelectric material uses its spontaneous polarization function to charge an electrolytic case made of synthetic resin and emits high-intensity far infrared rays to water molecules in the drinking liquid to form a cluster structure of water molecules in the drinking liquid. Along with crushing, it causes a resonance phenomenon in the molecular vibrational region with water molecules and promotes the liberation of hydrogen molecules in water molecules by electrolysis.

<Basic configuration>
First, FIGS. 1 to 4 show the overall configuration of the hydrogen water generating electrolyzer 10 according to the embodiment, and FIG. 5 shows the configuration of a main part of the hydrogen water generating electrolyzer 10. It is shown enlarged.

The hydrogen generating electrolytic tool 10 is roughly divided into two parts, an electrolytic element 1 that functions as an electrolytic source and performs an electrolytic action (reducing action), and an electrolytic case 2 that houses the electrolytic element 1. It is configured.

The electrolytic element 1 has a flexible and resilient mesh member 11 having a predetermined thickness, a predetermined width, and a predetermined length, an electrolytic substance 12 coated on the surface of the mesh portion of the mesh member 11, and a predetermined weight. It is composed of a metal core material 13 having the above. The mesh member 11 is made of a fiber structure having a lattice structure as shown by being enlarged in FIG. 5, for example, and is located between the lattice portions 11a, 11a ... It is configured to have open interstitial spaces 11b, 11b ... Then, in the case of this embodiment, the electrolytic substance 12 is uniformly coated in a state of being impregnated on the entire outer peripheral surface of each of the lattice portions 11a, 11a.

The core material 13 is made of a stainless steel cylinder (SUS304 or the like) having a predetermined diameter having a length corresponding to the width of the mesh member 11, and one end of the mesh member 11 is connected to the core material 13. The mesh member 11 is wound around a core member 13 in a roll structure having a plurality of layers in the radial direction as shown in FIG. The core material 13 is located at the center of the electrolytic case 2 described below, and at the same time, the mesh member 11 is wound around a roll structure having a plurality of layers in the radial direction, and at the same time, the pyroelectric material in the electrolytic substance 12 is described later. It functions as a negative charge collecting unit (polarizing member) that collects and charges negative charges from. Further, it has a function as a weight member for maintaining the hydrogen water generating electrolytic tool 10 in a state of being immersed in the drinking liquid W as shown in FIG. 6 due to its weight.

In the case of this embodiment, the concentric material 13 does not necessarily function as an electrode, but collects negative charges generated in the electrolytic case 2 containing the electrolytic element 1 having a wound structure in the central shaft portion. As a result, the floating negative charge is eliminated and the charge is prevented from being neutralized, thereby enhancing the function of charging the positive charge to the electrolytic case 2 portion.

The electrolytic case 2 is composed of two sets of bottomed cylinders 21 and 22 made of synthetic resin, which are joined and integrated with each other at the intermediate portion in the vertical direction. For example, the roll is first formed in the bottomed cylinder 21 on the lower side. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the lower part of the electrolytic element 1 wound around the structure is inserted, and then the openings 21a and 22a are abutted against each other and integrally joined with an adhesive to electrolyze as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4. The mesh members 11 of each layer of the element 1 are housed in a wound state in which a predetermined gap is maintained between them. Therefore, the diameter and height dimensions of the electrolytic case 2 are set to dimensions suitable for storing the electrolytic element 1 in such a state. Of course, the electrolytic case 2 does not necessarily have to be composed of two sets of bottomed cylinders made of synthetic resin, 21 and 22 which are joined and integrated with each other at the intermediate portion in the vertical direction, and the bottomed cylinder with one end opened. It may be the one that closes one end of the body at the end.

In this electrolytic case 2, the entire outer peripheral surface (the entire front and back surfaces and the entire side surface) is positively (+) charged by the pyroelectric action of the pyroelectric material in the electrolytic material 12 of the electrolytic element 1. A positive electrode portion for electrolysis having a much larger area than the core material 13 forming the negative (−) charge collecting portion is formed. Therefore, as the synthetic resin material forming the electrolytic case 2, an acrylic resin displaced to the positive side in the charging row is selected (although the acrylic resin as the fiber material is displaced to the negative side, Acrylic resin as a plate material is deviated to the positive side). As a result, positive charges are efficiently accumulated on the wide outer peripheral surface (electrode surface) of the electrolytic case 2, and a high positive potential is maintained as a positive electrode for electrolysis.

Then, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, the electrolytic tool (electrode member provided with an electrolytic source that does not require a power source) 10 of this embodiment is made of a metal (stainless steel) vacuum cylinder composed of an inner container 31a and an outer container 31b. In the state of being housed in the inner container 31a of the heat insulating pot 3 having a heavy wall structure, the entire wide outer peripheral surface of the electrolytic case 2 faces the inner container 31a which becomes a negative electrode (cathode) as a positive electrode (anode). As a result, an electrolytic system (electrolytic mechanism) as shown in FIG. 7 is formed which can be electrolyzed (reducable) using the conductive beverage solution W such as tea contained between them as an electrolyte. , electrolysis of water molecules of H _{2 O} in the beverage liquid W is performed. And thus in a positive electrode peripheral surface side of the electrolytic Case 2 (interface unit) electron e ^- While oxygen O ₂ separated hydrogen H ₂ is taken away is precipitated, of the inner container 31a of the negative electrode hydrogen H ₂ separation of the oxygen O ₂ on the peripheral surface (interface unit) is precipitated. By repeating this for a predetermined time, a predetermined amount of hydrogen H ₂ is generated in the beverage liquid W, and the redox potential ORP is lowered. Therefore, the amount of hydrogen produced can be confirmed by measuring the decrease in the redox potential ORP in the beverage liquid W as described later.

Now, in FIG. 6, reference numeral 3a is an opening at the upper end of the heat insulating pot (metal container) 3, and reference numeral 32 is a lid detachably screwed into the opening 3a portion, and the hydrogen water is described above. The generating electrolyzer 10 is arbitrarily inserted and taken out through the opening 3a at the upper end of the heat insulating pot 3.

In the actual generation of hydrogen water, the electrolytic tool 10 is first placed in the center of the bottom of the inner container 31a containing no drinking liquid W, and then the required amount of hot water (in the case of tea) at 36 to 40 ° C. (in the case of tea) is placed. Beverage liquid) Add W. In this case, it is preferable that the entire hydrogen water generating electrolytic tool 10 is submerged in hot water. After that, a tea bag such as green tea is further added and maintained for a predetermined time (about 6 to 10 hours). Then, during that time, the above-mentioned electrolytic action of FIG. 7 is realized, and after the same time elapses, a required amount of hydrogen is generated, and the redox potential is lowered.

There are various methods for immersing the electrolytic tool 10 in the state of FIG. 6, and the electrolytic tool 10 may be placed later in the inner container 31a containing the drinking liquid W. Needless to say.

<Structure and action of electrolytic substance 12>
By the way, in the case of this embodiment, the electrolytic substance 12 absorbs a thermoelectric substance that functions as a charged charge generating means and a far-infrared radiating means and far-infrared rays from a drinking liquid to heat the charcoal substance. It is composed of two kinds of substances, a warming means and a black body substance that functions as a far-infrared emitting means. Specifically, a heating means based on a thermoelectric substance that functions as a charged charge generating means and a far-infrared radiating means, and absorbing far-infrared rays from a drinking liquid W into the pyroelectric substance to heat the charcoal substance. It is composed of a black body substance that functions as a far-infrared radiation means and uniformly mixed at a predetermined weight ratio.

The base pyroelectric material is composed of a fine powder of about several μs of polar crystals having a spontaneous polarization action represented by a certain tourmaline ore (tourmaline). Some tourmaline ore (hereinafter simply referred to as tourmaline) includes, for example, SiO ₂ : 36.6%, Al ₂ O ₃ : 34.05%, FeO ₃ : 14.15%, MgO: 0.9%, and others. Some have a composition, the crystal structure is twisted (the centers of positive and negative charges of the constituent atoms do not match), and they exhibit permanent tourmaline by spontaneous polarization. A crystal having such properties is a polar crystal.

Tourmaline, which is a polar crystal, is polarized to the positive pole on the pointed side and the negative pole on the flat side in its crystal structure, and is electrically medium on the crystal surface due to the influence of external charges (ions). If there is no sum, the +-electrical polarity is permanently maintained. In this case, the positions of the atoms constituting the crystal are dependent on the temperature, and when the temperature is changed, the positions of the constituent atoms also change. Then, the level of spontaneous polarization (potential difference between + -poles, that is, pyroelectric level) also changes accordingly. Generally, when the crystal is cooled, the pyroelectric level decreases, and when it is heated, the pyroelectric level increases. Therefore, when the crystal is heated to a predetermined temperature and the pyroelectric level is raised, the potential difference (voltage) between the + and-poles becomes high. This potential difference (voltage) is higher and more stable as the insulation level between the + and-poles is higher. In addition, a predetermined level of electric field is formed by this, and the electric charge corresponding to the electric field is accumulated, and the dielectric becomes a strong dielectric as a whole.

Moreover, tourmaline is a polar crystal, the far-infrared radiation function due to pyroelectric effect (electromagnetic wave radiation function) also has a. Moreover, in the wavelength region 1mm from 5 [mu], the water molecules of H _{2 O} It has a wavelength of 6 to 15 μm with a natural frequency equal to the natural frequency of the molecular vibration region. Moreover, the emissivity of far infrared rays is as high as 92.7%. Therefore, pyroelectric level as the polar whole crystal (total electrolyte element 1), raising the electrolyte level, with respect to water molecule H _{2 O,} when to emit higher energy levels far infrared, more efficiency A good hydrogen generation action (reduction action) can be realized.

That is, water is generally _{represented as a molecular structure H 2} O, but the actual state of water is very complicated, such as the bonds between the atoms of _{hydrogen H 2 and oxygen O that make up the water molecule, and the water molecules.} The way they are connected and gathered is dynamic, and they are not temporarily in a static state. In addition, since water molecules are one dipole, interactions occur between water molecules, and various interactions also occur with other dissolved ions. Water is usually H 2 _O molecule is a 5-6 linked molecular cluster, if there is another element molecules and impurities, the molecules enters to the in clusters, and further tens of molecules Join. Such a bonded state cannot be easily decomposed only by the electrochemical method called electrolysis. Drinking water such as mineral water also contains various minerals, and the tendency becomes stronger in the case of tea and juice containing catechins and polyphenols.

Therefore, for more efficient electrolysis and hydrogen production (reduction), it is necessary to crush such a cluster structure.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the pyroelectric material of the electrolytic element 1 serving as the electrolytic source has a far-infrared radiation function. Far infrared is electromagnetic radiation, Advantageously, it has a wavelength band 6~15μ matching natural frequency of the water molecule H _{2 O} in the molecular vibration region. Therefore, when radiating far infrared rays of the same wavelength band in the beverage liquid W, effectively resonance of molecular vibration region occurs in a water molecule H _{2 O} portion of the cluster structure.

When the resonance of the molecular vibration region in the water molecule H _{2 O} moiety occurs, vibration between molecules and atoms in the molecule vibration region, stretching, bending occurs, intermolecular with water molecules or between other elements molecules The cohesive force weakens and the cluster structure is physically (mechanically) crushed. As a result, the separation of the oxygen molecule O and the hydrogen molecule H _{2 of the water molecule H 2} O is promoted by an action other than the electrochemical reaction, and as a result, the hydrogen molecule H ₂ is contained in the inner container 31a of the heat insulating pot 3. Oxygen molecules O are efficiently deposited on the peripheral surface side (negative side / cathode side) and the outer peripheral surface side (positive side / anode side) of the electrolytic case 2 (see FIG. 7).

As described above, when the hydrogen generating electrolytic tool 10 according to this embodiment is used, as its basic action, an effective hydrogen generating action in which electrochemical and physical (mechanical) actions are synergized is realized. Can be done. Moreover, the configuration is such that the electrolytic element 1 that performs such an action is housed in the electrolytic case 2 that acts as an electrode member, and is simply put into the metal inner container 31a of the heat insulating pot 3 for a predetermined time. It is extremely simple and convenient, does not require a power source (electrical energy), and can be constructed at low cost.

However, in the case of such a configuration, there is no power source, and the electric field potential as an electrolytic source depends only on the pyroelectric function of the pyroelectric material described above. The same applies to the far-infrared radiation function. Therefore, when trying to secure sufficient hydrogen production capacity (reduction capacity) in a practical sense, the above basic (principle) configuration alone is not sufficient.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the electrolytic element 1 is composed of a plurality of layers of mesh members 11 in the radial direction provided with a pyroelectric substance on the entire outer peripheral surface thereof, and has a pyroelectric effect and a far-infrared radiation effect. While making the amount of electrical material and the area of action extremely large, the electric charge and far infrared rays from the pyroelectric material in the mesh part on the inner layer side are emitted and emitted outward in the radial direction without being blocked by the outer layer side. I am trying to be done. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a necessary and sufficient pyroelectric action and far-infrared radiation action that can withstand practicality, and a sufficient hydrogen generation ability (reduction ability) can be realized.

On the premise of this, the electrolytic case 2 (electrolytic electrode portion 2) is made of a cylindrical body made of a charged synthetic resin, and the electrolytic element 1 composed of a plurality of layers of mesh members 11 in the radial direction is , It is stored in an extremely compact wound state in an electrolytic case 2 made of a chargeable synthetic resin having the same cylindrical shape, and an electric charge having a predetermined polarity is efficiently and densely charged on the outer peripheral surface thereof (Fig. 1 to FIG. 4).

Then, in this embodiment, as described above, as the metal container, a stainless steel container such as a heat insulating pot generally used at home is assumed. The charge column rank of the iron-based metal of stainless steel (SUS304, etc.) is on the negative side (natural potential is around -525 mv). Then, as the synthetic resin material of the electrolytic case 2 made of synthetic resin, an acrylic material (plate) that is easily charged positively (+) in which the charging column order is largely deviated to the positive side is selected. As a result, a large number of positive charges are densely charged on the outer peripheral surface of the electrolytic case 2 to maintain a high positive potential, negatively charged, and effective electrolysis with the stainless steel inner container 31a having a low potential. An electric current flows, an effective reducing action is realized, and hydrogen is efficiently generated (see FIG. 7).

On the other hand, the blackbody substance is composed of, for example, a fine powder of about several μm of carbon nanotubes. As is well known, the blackbody has the highest emissivity of far infrared rays (100%), and it is called a complete radiator. However, the blackbody in the strict sense is a conceptual object and does not exist in reality. Currently, among the substances (materials) that can be mass-produced industrially, carbon nanotubes (99%) have the emissivity closest to the blackbody. Therefore, when the fine powder of carbon nanotubes is mixed with the fine powder of tolumarin, which is the polar crystal, at a predetermined weight ratio, the electrolytic substance 12 becomes close to a black body as a whole, and both the absorption rate and the emissivity of far infrared rays are extremely high. Will be expensive.

Therefore, as will be described later, the electrolytic tool 10 is immersed in the drinking liquid W in the metal inner container 31a of the heat insulating pot 3, and the temperature of the drinking liquid W is a temperature equal to or higher than a predetermined value (for example, 36 to 40 ° C.). In such a case, the far infrared rays emitted from the drinking liquid W are efficiently absorbed by the blackbody substance composed of carbon nanotubes in the electrolytic substance 12, and the temperature of the blackbody substance rises. The tourmarin crystal, which is a charcoal substance in the electrolytic substance 12, is heated, and the temperature of the tourmarin crystal is maintained at a sufficient spontaneous polarization temperature. As a result, the spontaneous polarization action of the tourmaline crystal becomes active, the pyroelectric level becomes high, and the electric field potential of the electrolytic case 2 becomes high. In addition, the far-infrared radiation function is further improved.

Moreover, this action occurs evenly in each of the lattice portions 11a, 11a ... Of the plurality of layers of mesh members 11 in the radial direction wound in the electrolytic case 2 of the cylindrical structure in the roll structure (in this case). Since each part of the electrolytic element 1 has a mesh structure, far infrared rays from the drinking liquid W are uniformly incident from the outer layer part to the inner layer part), and they are synergistic between the + and-poles of the entire electrolytic element 1. The increase in potential difference and electric field level becomes considerably large. As a result, a large amount of electric charge is generated in the electrolytic case 2, and the electric charge density becomes very high. Then, the electrode potential + V is sufficiently increased (see FIG. 7).

Further, in this embodiment, the cylindrical electrolytic case 2 containing the electrolytic element 1 is formed of a transparent acrylic material. Therefore, it is easy to transmit far infrared rays. In addition, the acrylic material itself has a high emissivity of far infrared rays of 92.2% among the synthetic resin materials. Therefore, far infrared rays from the entire circumference of the electrolytic case 2 heated at a drinking liquid temperature of 36 to 40 ° C also act on the pyroelectric substance in the electrolytic substance 12 of the electrolytic element 1. As a result, the tourmaline polar crystal becomes more active in the polarization action, further increases the potential difference between the + and-poles and the electric field level, and generates a larger amount of electric charge.

In the case of this embodiment, the formation of the electrolytic substance 12 by mixing the fine powder of polar crystals such as tolumarin, which is a charcoal substance, and the fine powder of carbon nanotubes, which is a black substance, is predetermined as an example. A method is adopted in which a binder resin material having a high insulating property by weight is mixed, heated and melted, and the entire surface of the lattice portions 11a, 11a ... Of the mesh member 11 is uniformly coated in an impregnated state. In this way, the binder resin material secures the insulating property on the surface of the polar crystal and eliminates the neutralizing action due to the adhesion of ambient ions, so that the potential difference between the + and-poles and the electric field level can be maintained high. Further, at the time of mixing into the binder resin material, for example, a configuration is adopted in which the polarities (crystal directions) of the tourmaline polar crystals are made uniform by applying a predetermined electrostatic field. In this way, the potentials of the crystals do not cancel each other out, the pyroelectric function of the pyroelectric material can be further improved, and a higher electric field potential can be realized. Further, by adhering and impregnating the binder resin material, the rigidity and resilience (springback property) required for the mesh member 11 to maintain an appropriate roll structure in the electrolytic case 2 having a cylindrical structure are appropriately realized. ..

In the case of this embodiment, as an example of the base mesh member 11, a resin composition obtained by kneading a far-infrared radiation substance containing _{silica (SiO 2) as a main component with a thermoplastic resin such as polyester, for example.} The same resin composition is spun and woven into a mesh member. Therefore, the mesh member 11 has high tensile strength and can be maintained in a stable roll structure. Further, as the base fiber material itself, it is possible to obtain a uniform far-infrared radiation function by a far-infrared radiation substance containing _{silica (SiO 2) as a main component.}

<Actual hydrogen production and reduction of ORP>
In order to confirm the hydrogen generation action of the hydrogen generation electrolyzer 10 according to the above embodiment, the hydrogen generation electrolyzer 10 contains, for example, a green tea solution W having a temperature of 36 ° C. as shown in FIG. The solution was immersed in the heat-retaining pot (a stainless steel beverage container having a vacuum double-wall structure of the inner container 31a and the outer container 31b) 3 and the redox potential ORP of the green tea solution W was measured until 16 hours had passed. The graph of FIG. 7 shows the result.

As is clear from this result, the redox potential surely begins to decrease from the start of measurement, and the redox potential, which was +84 mv at the start of measurement, reaches -320 mv after 6 hours and -500 mv after 10 hours. It has decreased. As the redox potential decreases, the amount of dissolved hydrogen increases in inverse proportion to it. From this result, it can be seen that a sufficient amount of hydrogen is surely generated in the green tea solution W in the same state. This hydrogen generation action (reduction action) is more effective for beverages containing more hydrogen components such as polyphenols such as tea and juice than tap water (they are more conductive than tap water) and more. It was also confirmed that hydrogen can be produced.
