然るにこの発明は、 水の酸素分子、 水素分子又は水分子の固有振動に着目し、 その何れか一つに共振を生成させることにより、 水の電解効率を飛躍的に向上さ せて、 前記従来の改善技術では到達し得なかった極めて高い効率で水を電解する ことを可食 にしたのである。 However, the present invention focuses on the natural vibration of oxygen molecules, hydrogen molecules, or water molecules of water, and by generating resonance in any one of them, dramatically improves the electrolysis efficiency of water. This made edible the electrolysis of water with extremely high efficiency that could not be achieved with the improved technology.
例えば、 水素分子の生成時の固有振動の波数 2, 2 5 0 cm— 1での振動又はその 波長 4. 4 X 1 0 _4cmの倍数波長による振動を付与することにより水中の水素分 子を共振させ、 水素分子の離脱を促進させることができた。 更に、 酸素分子又は 水分子の各々の固有振動の振動数の振動又は固有振動の波長の倍数波長での振動 を並行して付与し酸素;^又は水分子を同時に共振させることも可能である。 前記において、各分子の固有振動の振動数の振動を与える場合でも固有振動の 波長の倍数波長の振動を与える場合でも容易に各 5 ^を共振させることができる が、 特に各分子の固有振動の波長の倍数波長の振動を与える場合には、 容易に共 振させることができるのみならず、 倍数波長を迸定すればよいので、 各分子が共 振することのできる条件に容易に適合させることができる。 For example, the wave number 2 of the natural oscillation of the time of generating the hydrogen molecule, 2 5 0 cm- vibration or wavelength 4. 4 X 1 0 _ 4 cm water hydrogen partial child by applying vibration by multiple wavelengths in 1 Was resonated, and the desorption of hydrogen molecules was promoted.

Can be.

Was completed.
本発明の電解液は電解につれて液温は上昇し、 液抵抗、 槽電圧の低下が起り、 電解効率が向上する。
電解槽を保温 ·加温することにより効率よく電解を行うことができるが、本発 明では特別な加温装置を付設することなく高効率電解を行うことができる。 またポンプ、 ダイヤフラム弁等を用いて電解液を循環させることにより電解効 率を高めることもできるが、 本発明では生成ガスの大量発生、 補充液の槽底への 注入により液循環が起り、 特別な循環装置を付設することなく高効率電解を行う ことができる。 In the electrolytic solution of the present invention, the temperature of the electrolytic solution increases as the electrolysis proceeds, the liquid resistance and the cell voltage decrease, and the electrolytic efficiency improves. Although the electrolysis can be performed efficiently by keeping the electrolytic bath warm and warm, the present invention allows high-efficiency electrolysis without the need for a special heating device. Although the electrolytic efficiency can be increased by circulating the electrolytic solution using a pump, a diaphragm valve, etc., in the present invention, a large amount of generated gas is generated, and the liquid is circulated by injecting a replenisher into the tank bottom.

この発明は、 自動車、 発電所、 船舶、 航空機、 ロケット推進その他多目的エネ ルギ一源として使用し得ると共に、 当該エネルギーは、 使用後再び水に戻るの で、二次公害を生じるおそれはない。 The present invention can be used as a vehicle, power plant, ship, aircraft, rocket propulsion and other multi-purpose energy sources, and since the energy returns to water after use, there is no danger of secondary pollution.
この発明の特徴の 1つは、 水素等の必要とする使用量に応じて水を電解するこ とができるので、 危険性が皆無となることである。 従来水素ガス又は酸素ガスは ボンベに封入されており、 使用時に必要量宛取り出しているので、 不慮の災害時 にガス洩れを生じたり、 ボンベの破壊によって、 大災害を生じる危険性があつ た。 然るにこの発明は、 必要とする使用量だけ水を電解するので、 水素ガス又は 酸素ガスは、 電解装置と使用場所 (例えばェンヂン) を結ぶパイプ内に存在する だけである。 従って不慮の事故により、 パイプが破壊しても、 水素ガスなどの残 留量がきわめて少ないので、 大災害になるおそれはなく、単に水が流れ出るにす ぎない。 One of the features of the present invention is that there is no danger because water can be electrolyzed according to the required amount of hydrogen or the like used. Conventionally, hydrogen gas or oxygen gas is sealed in cylinders, and the required amount is taken out at the time of use. Therefore, there was a risk of gas leaking in the event of an accident or a major disaster due to the destruction of the cylinder. However, since the present invention electrolyzes water by a required amount, hydrogen gas or oxygen gas is only present in a pipe connecting the electrolyzer with a place of use (for example, Endin). Therefore, even if a pipe breaks due to an accident, the remaining amount of hydrogen gas and the like is extremely small, so there is no danger of a catastrophic disaster, and water simply flows out.
また、 7k素発生装置の発生速度を補う目的で発生した水素を水素吸蔵合金に吸 収させて貯蔵する方法も知られているが、 本発明の方法によれば所要時に の 水素を得ることができるので、特別に高価で重量のある貯蔵器を付設することが 不要となる。 A method is also known in which hydrogen generated for the purpose of compensating the generation speed of the 7k element generator is absorbed and stored in a hydrogen storage alloy.However, according to the method of the present invention, hydrogen can be obtained when required. This eliminates the need for extra expensive and heavy storage.
尤も自動車などにおいて使用量が変化する場合においては (例えばアクセルを 踏んだ時と、 踏まない時) 電解液内に浸漬する電極面積の変化により水素等の発 を簡単に制御することができる。 例えば発生ガス量は、 電解液に浸潰した電
極面積に比例するので、電極の位置 (昇降) を制御すれば簡単に調節できる。 尤 もこの場合には電解 を常時一定にしておく必要がある。 However, when the amount of use changes in an automobile or the like (for example, when the accelerator is depressed and when it is not depressed), the generation of hydrogen and the like can be easily controlled by changing the electrode area immersed in the electrolyte. For example, the amount of generated gas depends on the amount of electricity immersed in the electrolyte. Since it is proportional to the pole area, it can be easily adjusted by controlling the electrode position (elevation). However, in this case, it is necessary to keep the electrolysis constant.
前記における水素分子、 酸素分子又は水分子は、 夫々分子量が異なるので、 固 有振動数も自ら異なる力^ 実際使用に際しては、.三つの固有振動数とその倍数波 長の中から、 機器の振動に対して一番安定性のある振動数を選定すればよいの で、 容易に目的を達成することができる。 Since the hydrogen molecule, oxygen molecule, and water molecule in the above have different molecular weights, the natural frequencies themselves are different.In actual use, in the case of actual use, the vibration of the equipment is selected from among the three natural frequencies and their multiple wavelengths. Since the most stable frequency should be selected for, the objective can be easily achieved.
この発明によれば、 水素分子、 酸素分子又は水分子の何れか 1つの固有振動の 振動数での振動又はいずれか一つの固有振動の波長の倍数波長での振動を付与す るので、 前記水素分子等の何れか一つに共振が生じ、 水の分子結合が弱化する。 そこで通電すれば少電流で容易に電解することができる。 According to the present invention, the vibration at the frequency of one of the natural vibrations of the hydrogen molecule, the oxygen molecule, or the water molecule or the vibration at a wavelength that is a multiple of the wavelength of any one of the natural vibrations is applied. Resonance occurs in any one of the molecules and the like, and the molecular bond of water is weakened. Therefore, if electricity is supplied, electrolysis can be easily performed with a small current.
また電解水を例えば弱苛性アル力リ水とし、 電極を交番磁界の中に位置させる ことにより、 振動と、 表面張力低下および磁界作用などが相剰的に作用し、 電解 に要する電力量を飛躍的に低減させることができる。 Also, by using electrolyzed water as, for example, weakly caustic water, and placing the electrodes in an alternating magnetic field, vibration, reduction in surface tension, and magnetic field effects act additively, increasing the amount of power required for electrolysis. Can be effectively reduced.
即ちこの発明によれば、 水素分子、酸素分子又は水分子を共振させるので、 水 は電解し易くなる。 そこで通電することにより、 比較的少電力で効率よく電解し 得る効果がある。 That is, according to the present invention, hydrogen molecules, oxygen molecules or water molecules resonate, so that water is easily electrolyzed. Therefore, by energizing, there is an effect that electrolysis can be efficiently performed with relatively little power.
また電解水を弱アル力リ水などの表面張力の小さい溶液とすると共に、 電極を 磁場内に入れ、 必要に応じて交番磁界を^^することにより、 水素分子等の共振 との相剰作用により、 電解効率を飛躍的に向上し得るなどの諸効果がある。 図面の簡単な説明 In addition, the electrolyzed water is made into a solution with low surface tension such as weak water, and the electrodes are put in a magnetic field, and an alternating magnetic field is applied as necessary to generate a surplus effect with the resonance of hydrogen molecules, etc. Thus, there are various effects such as the electrolytic efficiency can be dramatically improved.

この実施例において、 電解液中の酸素分子、 水素分子又は水分子のいずれか一 つにその固有振動の振動数での振動又はいずれかの固有振動の波長の倍数波長で の振動を与えて共振させる手段を以下に説明する。 In this embodiment, one of oxygen molecules, hydrogen molecules and water molecules in the electrolytic solution is vibrated at the frequency of its natural vibration or at a multiple of the wavelength of any of the natural vibrations to give resonance. The means for causing this will be described below.
第一の手段は、 電解電流をオン、 オフさせることである。 前述したように、 電 極 3、 4は、 コード 2 0、 2 1を介してブラシ 2 2、 2 3に連結されており、 ブ ラシ 2 2、 2 3は回転軸 2 4に固定したロータ 2 5、 2 6の外周に摺接してい る。 したがって、 ロータ 2 5、 2 6を回転させることにより、 電極 3、 4への入 力を断切することができる。 このブラシによる入力切り替えは、 毎秒 1 0 0〜 2, 0 0 0サイクル程度の範囲で行うことが好ましい。 The first means is to turn on and off the electrolysis current. As described above, the electrodes 3 and 4 are connected to the brushes 22 and 23 via the cords 20 and 21, and the brushes 22 and 23 are the rotors 2 fixed to the rotating shaft 24. It is in sliding contact with the outer circumference of 5, 26. Therefore, the input to the electrodes 3 and 4 can be cut off by rotating the rotors 25 and 26. The input switching by the brush is preferably performed in a range of about 100 to 2,000 cycles per second.
この電極 3、 4を流れる電解電流のオン、 オフが、 前述した永久磁石 1 2の存 在によって電極力帯磁している下で生じるため、 電極は振動を生じる。 そしてこ れによって電解液に振動が与えられ、 電解液中の酸素分子、 水素分子又は水分子 の 、ずれか一つに前述した共振振動が与えられ、 所望の共振を生成させる事がで さ 0 Since the on and off of the electrolytic current flowing through the electrodes 3 and 4 occur under the presence of the permanent magnet 12 described above while the electrodes are magnetized, the electrodes generate vibration. As a result, vibration is given to the electrolyte, and the above-described resonance vibration is applied to one of the oxygen molecules, hydrogen molecules, and water molecules in the electrolyte, and a desired resonance is generated.
第二の手段は、 前述した電磁石 1 3によって生じる交番磁場によって電解液中 の酵素分子、 水素分子又は水 の Iゝずれか一つに前述した振動を付与するもの である。 この実施例では、 電磁石 1 3は入力の切り替えによって毎秒 4 0 0サイ クルの交番磁場を形成しているが、 入力の切り替えによって毎秒 1 0 0〜2, 0 0 0サイクル程度の交番磁場を形成すること力河能である。 この交番磁場の変化
を制御することにより電極を交番帯磁させ、 これによつて電極を振動させるとと もに電解液に振動を与え、 電解液中の酸素分子、 水素分子又は水分子のいずれか —つに前述した共振振動を与え、 所望の共振を生成させる事ができる。 The second means is to apply the above-described vibration to one of the enzyme molecules, hydrogen molecules, and water in the electrolytic solution by the alternating magnetic field generated by the electromagnet 13 described above. In this embodiment, the electromagnet 13 forms an alternating magnetic field of 400 cycles per second by switching inputs, but forms an alternating magnetic field of about 100 to 2,000 cycles per second by switching inputs. It is the power to do. Changes in this alternating magnetic field The electrodes are alternately magnetized by controlling the temperature of the electrodes, thereby causing the electrodes to vibrate and, at the same time, vibrating the electrolytic solution. Thus, any one of oxygen molecules, hydrogen molecules, and water molecules in the electrolytic solution is described above. By giving a resonance vibration, a desired resonance can be generated.
なお、 前述した第一の手段と第二の手段を同時に作用させて、 所望の振動を生 じさせる事ももちろん可能である。 It should be noted that the first means and the second means described above can be simultaneously operated to generate a desired vibration.

Then, the free end faces of the electromagnets 6a and 6b are opposed to the electrodes 3 and 4 with a small gap. The electromagnets 6a and 6b are provided with rotors 41 and 42 and brushes 43 and 44, respectively, in which an on / off current flows and a magnetic field is turned on / off, and connected with cords 45 and 46. It is. When the electromagnet 6a is energized, the electrodes 3, 4 are attracted to the electromagnet 6a, and when the electromagnet 6b is energized, the electrodes 3, 4 are attracted to the electromagnet 6b. It oscillates in synchronization with. The vibration of the electrodes 3 and 4 becomes the vibration of the electrolyte as it is, and induces the resonance of molecules such as hydrogen. Therefore, if the connection and disconnection of the electromagnet is controlled by the rotation of the mouth 41, 42, a predetermined frequency can be obtained, so that any of hydrogen molecules, oxygen molecules, or water molecules is resonated. Become.

ここで、 ロータ 4 1、 4 2の回転による電磁石への入力の切り替えは、 毎秒 1 0 0〜2, 0 0 0サイクル程度の範囲で行うことが好ましい。 こうして電極に毎 秒 1 0 0〜2, 0 0 0サイクルの範囲の 的振動を与えることができる。 Here, it is preferable that the switching of the input to the electromagnet by the rotation of the rotors 41 and 42 be performed in a range of about 100 to 2,000 cycles per second. Thus, a target vibration in the range of 100 to 2,000 cycles per second can be applied to the electrode.
