Abstract

The invention concerns a device for producing, using and partly recycling a hydrogen and oxygen gas mixture from water so as to use said mixture as fuel, not exclusively, for heat engines in general, or any other device requiring combustible fuel for its operation. Said device comprises a hydrolysis chamber (A) (5) provided with a system of electrodes (B) (6) connected to a direct or alternating current system so as to bring about hydrolysis and simultaneously produce a hydrogen gas and an oxygen gas. Said gas mixture is sucked up by a pump (Pg) (9) into a mixer (M) (8), then said gas mixture is injected into the engine through an intake system to enable combustion by explosion. The result of said combustion is the formation of water in the form of vapour and liquid which will be recuperated by a cooling system (Rad) (11), and circulated towards the main water tank (Res) (1) to be reused by that same device.

Description

DISPOSITIF PERMETTANT LA FABRICATION, L'UTILISATION ET LE RECYCLAGE PARTIELDEVICE FOR THE MANUFACTURE, USE AND PARTIAL RECYCLING
D'UN MELANGE GAZEUX D'HYDROGENE ET D'OXYGENE A PARTIR DE L'EAUOF A GAS MIXTURE OF HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN FROM WATER
La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour utiliser l'eau comme matière première pour la fabrication par hydrolyse de gaz d'hydrogène et de gaz d'oxygène comme carburant, son utilisation par combustion par les moteurs à combustion interne ou tout autre système de motorisation (à titre non limitatif les turbines) et le recyclage partiel des matières résultantes. L'objet de cette invention est de produire un carburant pouvant réduire la pollution et l'interaction avec son environnement en général réduite au minimum par le fait de ne rejeter presque aucun gaz ou autre élément perturbateur pour la nature. Le dispositif, objet de la présente invention, est remarquable en ce qu'il permet la fabrication des gaz d'hydrogène et d'oxygène par le phénomène d'hydrolyse; l'utilisation du mélange de ces mêmes gaz comme carburant combustible et le recyclage partiel de l'eau résultant de la combustion du mélange d'hydrogène et d'oxygène (respectivement le carburant et le comburant) (fîg.l). Ce mélange a la particularité et l'avantage par rapport à un gaz d'hydrogène simple d'avoir un pouvoir détonant accru par l'apport du gaz d'oxygène et ainsi de pouvoir réduire la consommation d'électricité pour produire le même volume (en absolu) de gaz.The present invention relates to a device for using water as a raw material for the manufacture by hydrolysis of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas as fuel, its use by combustion by internal combustion engines or any other motorization system ( not limited to turbines) and partial recycling of the resulting materials. The object of this invention is to produce a fuel which can reduce pollution and interaction with its environment generally reduced to a minimum by the fact of emitting almost no gas or other disturbing element for nature. The device, object of the present invention, is remarkable in that it allows the production of hydrogen and oxygen gases by the phenomenon of hydrolysis; the use of the mixture of these same gases as combustible fuel and the partial recycling of the water resulting from the combustion of the mixture of hydrogen and oxygen (respectively the fuel and the oxidizer) (fig. l). This mixture has the particularity and the advantage compared to a simple hydrogen gas to have an increased detonating power by the supply of oxygen gas and thus to be able to reduce the consumption of electricity to produce the same volume ( in absolute) of gas.
Il comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique un réservoir (A) (appelé chambre d'hydrolyse) dont le fond est doté d'un ensemble amovible d'électrodes (B) (appelé bougie d'électrodes) ; la bougie d'électrodes est formée d'une anode et d'une cathode dont, à titre d'exemple et non limitatif, la forme plate spécifique est illustrée(fig.3), une membrane perméable à l'eau et au courant électrique est fixée entre les électrodes afin d'éviter le mélange prématuré des gaz (fig.3). La bougie est reliée à une source électrique de courant continu ou alternatif dont Pampérage peut être variable afin de pouvoir moduler la production de gaz. A titre non limitatif, cette variation peut être obtenue par un variateur électronique ou un simple potentiomètre couplé avec les commandes de contrôle du régime du moteur ; à titre d'exemple non limitatif l'accélérateur ; pour obtenir une production de gaz équivalente à sa consommation et optimiser le dispositif et éviter les éventuels écarts de pressions. La bougie d'électrodes se visse par en dessous de la chambre d'hydrolyse et l'étanchéité est obtenue par un simple joint en caoutchouc. La bougie pourra ainsi être changée rapidement et simplement dès que les électrodes seront consommées (une étude technique et commerciale complémentaire complète pourra être faite ultérieurement sur la périodicité de la nécessité du changement de la bougie d'électrodes). La bougie est équipée d'un capteur magnétique, ce capteur peut être un simple aimant serti dans ou autour de l'embase de la bougie d'électrodes. II permet d'attirer et de capturer le perchlorure de fer présent dans l'eau contenue dans le réservoir (A) résultant de l'hydrolyse entre les électrodes avant que celui-ci passe dans un filtre (F) situé dans le système de circulation d'eau en circuit fermé. Un détecteur de température ainsi qu'un détecteur de pression sont fixés dans la partie supérieure de la chambre d'électrolyse. D'un dispositif d'apport de soude sous la forme de sel permettant de faciliter le phénomène de l'hydrolyse (fig.4) ; ce dispositif se présente sous la forme d'un tube creux adjacent à la chambre d'électrolyse dont l'embout inférieur muni d'une ouverture sous forme de grille est en contact avec l'eau arrivant dans la chambre d'électrolyse, à l'intérieur de ce tube est glissé un bâton solide de soude (S) de la longueur du tube ; un bouchon muni d'un ressort hélicoïdal referme le tube dans sa partie supérieure, le ressort faisant pression sur le bâton de soude ; ce dispositif permet la dissolution progressive du bâton de soude dans l'eau. La composition du bâton de soude sera étudiée afin que son remplacement puisse correspondre, pour des raisons pratiques, avec le remplacement de la bougie d'électrodes. Une soupape de sécurité reliée à un conduit d'évacuation vers l'extérieur peut-être fixée sur la partie supérieure de la chambre d'hydrolyse permettant ainsi l'évacuation des gaz. D'un détecteur de niveau d'eau (N) permettant de couper et de contrôler le débit d'arrivée d'eau. Le détecteur de niveau est fixé par vissage en haut de la chambre d'électrolyse comme un bouchon de bouteille ; l'étanchéité étant faite par un simple joint en caoutchouc ; permettant ainsi un facile remplacement et donnant un accès supplémentaire à l'intérieur de la chambre d'électrolyse, facilitant aussi son nettoyage. L'arrivée en eau peut être faite par une petite pompe électrique (Po) contrôlée par le détecteur de niveau ou pour réduire la consommation en électricité, par une pompe mécanique dont l'énergie du mouvement est fournie par le moteur (par transmission mécanique) et dans ce cas une électrovanne reliée au détecteur de niveau régulera le débit d'arrivée d'eau. Cette électrovanne, quand elle est activée, déviera le flux d'eau dans un tube de retour au réservoir principal, évitant ainsi toute surpression dans la pompe mécanique. D'un dispositif de circulation d'eau en circuit fermé, pouvant être équipé d'un filtre (F), facilitant le dépôt de perchlorure de fer sur le capteur magnétique de la bougie d'électrodes et ainsi maintenir une certaine pureté de l'eau et la production régulière du mélange gazeux d'hydrogène et d'oxygène. Ce dispositif simple fonctionne grâce au raccordement du tuyau d'évacuation au tuyau d'arrivée de l'eau en amont de la pompe permet donc à l'eau présente dans la chambre d'électrolyse de se renouveler et de conserver une certaine pureté. Le mouvement circulaire de l'eau force le perchlorure de fer d'abord à se déposer sur le capteur magnétique de la bougie d'électrodes et pour les résiduels à se fixer dans le filtre amovible (F) situé dans le tube de recyclage. L'apport d'eau se fait par la partie supérieure de la chambre d'électrolyse. Un tube de recyclage est situé à la base de la chambre d'électrolyse et relié à la pompe principale. Le tube de recyclage est équipé d'un filtre(F) qui retient les particules de perchlorure de fer. Une valve anti-retour entre la pompe et le dispositif d'apport de soude (Ds) ainsi qu'entre la pompe et le filtre (F) et dans le tube d'arrivée d'eau afin de maintenir la pompe en eau.According to a first characteristic, it in fact comprises a reservoir (A) (called hydrolysis chamber), the bottom of which is provided with a removable set of electrodes (B) (called the spark plug of electrodes); the spark plug of electrodes is formed of an anode and a cathode of which, by way of example and without limitation, the specific flat shape is illustrated (FIG. 3), a membrane permeable to water and to electric current is fixed between the electrodes to avoid premature mixing of the gases (fig. 3). The candle is connected to an electric source of direct or alternating current, the amperage of which can be variable in order to be able to modulate the production of gas. Without limitation, this variation can be obtained by an electronic variator or a simple potentiometer coupled with the engine speed control commands; by way of nonlimiting example the accelerator; to obtain a production of gas equivalent to its consumption and optimize the device and avoid any pressure differences. The electrode plug is screwed from below the hydrolysis chamber and sealing is obtained by a simple rubber seal. The candle can thus be changed quickly and simply as soon as the electrodes are consumed (a complete complementary technical and commercial study can be made later on the frequency of the need to change the electrode candle). The candle is equipped with a magnetic sensor, this sensor can be a simple magnet crimped in or around the base of the electrode candle. It makes it possible to attract and capture the iron perchloride present in the water contained in the reservoir (A) resulting from the hydrolysis between the electrodes before the latter passes through a filter (F) located in the circulation system. closed circuit water. A temperature detector as well as a pressure detector are fixed in the upper part of the electrolysis chamber. A device for adding sodium hydroxide in the form of salt to facilitate the phenomenon of hydrolysis (fig. 4); this device is in the form of a hollow tube adjacent to the electrolysis chamber, the lower end of which, provided with an opening in the form of a grid, is in contact with the water arriving in the electrolysis chamber, at the inside this tube is slid a solid soda stick (S) the length of the tube; a plug fitted with a helical spring closes the tube in its upper part, the spring pressing on the soda stick; this device allows the gradual dissolution of the soda stick in the water. The composition of the soda stick will be studied so that its replacement can correspond, for practical reasons, with the replacement of the spark plug. A safety valve connected to an exhaust pipe to the outside can be fixed on the upper part of the hydrolysis chamber thus allowing the evacuation of gases. A water level detector (N) to cut and control the flow of water. The level detector is fixed by screwing at the top of the electrolysis chamber like a bottle cap; the seal being made by a simple rubber seal; allowing easy replacement and giving additional access to the interior of the electrolysis chamber, also facilitating its cleaning.

Ce dispositif est accouplé à une pompe (Pg) qui extrait le mélange gazeux de la chambre d'électrolyse et l'expulse vers le moteur, le tout complété par un jeu de valves anti-retour. Un détecteur de température, ainsi qu'un détecteur de pression situés sur le mélangeur complètent le système de sécurité de celui-ci. Un autre détecteur de pression est placé entre les deux valves anti-retour dans le conduit d'accès entre la chambre d'électrolyse et le mélangeur. Ce dispositif mélangeur est équipé à sa sortie d'un système permettant l'apport d'air afin d'augmenter le volume gazeux combustible. Un détecteur de pression sera placé dans le système d'apport d'air. Il comporte selon une troisième caractéristique un système d'évacuation et de récupération des vapeurs résultantes de la combustion du mélange gazeux dans le moteur (fig.l). Ce système d'évacuation permet donc l'évacuation des vapeurs d'eau vers un système de refroidissement par air (Rad), similaire à un radiateur de voiture classique, lequel permet à la vapeur d'eau de retrouver l'état de l'eau liquide. Une soupape en haut du système d'évacuation permet l'évacuation de chaleur excessive.
