Description

The invention relates to engine building, in particular to water dissociators, is intended for the decomposition of water into a hydrogen-oxygen gas mixture and can be used in environmentally friendly vehicles.

The technical literature describes methods for the decomposition of water in high-frequency and microwave discharges (low-temperature plasma) (see Shpilrain E.E., Malyshenko S.P., Kuleshov G.G. Introduction to hydrogen energy, Moscow, 1984; Hamburg D.Yu., Dubovkin NF Hydrogen, Properties, Receipt, Storage, Transportation, Application (Handbook, Moscow, 1989, p. 420-423). These methods are applied in practice.

The closest analogue of the claimed invention is an internal combustion engine containing a nozzle installed in a cylinder of an internal combustion engine, connected through a pump to a water tank (see RF patent No. 2033553, publ. 04/20/1995).

An object of the present invention is to provide a device based on an internal combustion engine capable of periodically decomposing water into a hydrogen-oxygen-gas mixture.

The problem is solved in that in a water dissociator containing a nozzle installed in a cylinder of an internal combustion engine, connected through a pump to a water tank, according to the invention, a communication device with a pulse generator of microwave electromagnetic waves is installed in the engine cylinder.

As the internal combustion engine, it is preferable to use a high-speed two-stroke carburetor internal combustion engine.

The drawing shows a diagram of a water dissociator.

The following is a description of a water dissociator based on a two-stroke carburetor internal combustion engine.

The solid wavy break line “cut off” engine parts, mechanisms and systems not mentioned in the description, but included in the concept of a two-stroke carburetor internal combustion engine. The water dissociator includes a cylinder 1 of an internal combustion engine having, respectively, a spark plug 2, a piston 3, and an exhaust window 4. A nozzle 5 is installed in the cylinder 1, which is connected through a pump 6 to a water tank 7, and a communication device 8 with a microwave generator ( Microwave) electromagnetic waves 9. The nozzle 5 is designed for periodic injection of water into the cylinder 1.

The dissociator works as follows.

First, the engine starts and runs until the average speed of the piston 3 to the top dead center reaches its maximum. Then the flow of fuel into the cylinder 1 and the voltage on the spark plug 2 is suspended and the working cycle of the dissociator, consisting of two cycles.

1st beat. The piston 3 moves from bottom dead center (BDC) to top dead center (TDC). From the microwave generator 9 through the communication device 8, electromagnetic oscillations enter the cylinder 1, as a result of which a standing wave arises in the latter.

As the piston 3 moves toward TDC, the volume of cylinder 1 is rapidly decreasing, while the standing wave is forced out by the piston 3 to the upper inner surface of this cylinder and, in accordance with the conservation law, due to the kinetic energy of the piston 3, its amplitude also increases rapidly, i.e. . there is a non-resonant parametric amplification of the power of electromagnetic waves concentrated in the volume of cylinder 1.

By the time the piston 3 approaches the TDC in a “compressed” and power-enhanced electromagnetic field, a low-temperature plasma is formed due to ionization of the gas in cylinder 1, i.e. Microwave discharge. In this microwave discharge, when the piston 3 is already in the TDC, water is injected from the tank 7 using the pump 6 with the nozzle 5.

The interaction of water with a microwave discharge leads to its decomposition into hydrogen and oxygen, and overcoming the activation barrier of the reaction is achieved due to the energy received by water molecules in the discharge zone.

2nd beat. The volume of a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen is about 1000 times the volume of water; expanding in cylinder 1, this mixture does useful work - it pushes the piston from TDC to BDC. At this time, the water supply to the nozzle 5 in the cylinder 1 is stopped. During the movement of the piston 3 from TDC to BDC, the receipt of electromagnetic waves from the microwave generator 9 in the cylinder 1 is stopped.

Further movement of the piston 3 to the BDC opens the exhaust window 4, through which the exhaust of the hydrogen-oxygen-gas mixture occurs, and the duty cycle is repeated.

Due to the pressure drop during expansion and the work done to move the piston 3 from TDC to BDC, the hydrogen-oxygen gas mixture leaving the outlet window 4 has a lower temperature than the temperature of the water injected by the nozzle 5 into the cylinder 1.
