- This device 100 is installed in a motor vehicle which is known per se (not shown explicitly for reasons of clarity in the illustration in FIG. 1A) and serves to operate this motor vehicle, in particular its internal combustion chamber 90 (so-called “combustion chamber”) in any operating state to supply a sufficient amount of equipment (“fuel”, "fuel”) in the form of hydrogen H 2 .
- a water reservoir unit 10 (so-called “H 2 O tank”; see FIG. 2), which is made of non-corrosive material, for example made of fiberglass or polyethylene or stainless steel, is with conventional, untreated tap water or with demineralized water filled; this water H 2 O enters a reaction unit 30 downstream of the water reservoir unit 10 (so-called “reactor”; cf. FIG. 4). Furthermore, 30 nitrogen oxides NO x , such as nitrogen monoxide NO or nitrogen dioxide NO 2 , and tri-atomic ozone O 3 are introduced into this reaction unit.
- Both the nitrogen oxides NO x and the tri-atomic ozone O 3 are in a gas generator unit 20 upstream of the reaction unit 30
- a first stage 20a of the gas generator unit 20 is intended for the production of the nitrogen oxides NO x , in particular the nitrogen dioxide NO 2 ; a second stage 20b of the gas generator unit 20 is used to produce the ozone O 3 .
- An integral part of the gas generator unit 20, in particular the first stage 20a of the gas generator unit 20, is an electrical circuit 22 (so-called "triatomic circuit”; cf. FIG. 3), the basic one
- Function can be seen therein, which is generated by an energy source 24 (see FIG. 3) of low voltage, which can be switched on by means of a switch 2422, approximately in In the form of a voltage source of, for example, twelve volts, transform the DC voltage supplied into a high voltage, for example in the form of rectangular pulses, of the order of magnitude of at least approximately 30,000 volts (other embodiments of the present invention also allow high voltages of the order of less than approximately 30,000 volts).
- IC integrated circuit
- the oscillation frequency is determined by means of the capacitor 2210 (example order of magnitude: 100 nanofarads) and by means of the three resistors 2212 (example order of magnitude: 10 kilohms), 2214 (example order of magnitude: 27 kilohms) and 2216 (example order of magnitude: 100 kilohms; variable) 120 Hertz set.
- the output signal assigned to this part of the electrical circuit 22 is a sequence of rectangular signals with a maximum amplitude in the order of magnitude of the input or supply voltage of twelve volts.
- the “oscillator part” of the electrical circuit 22 Immediately after being subjected to the input or supply voltage of twelve volts supplied by the car battery 24, the voltage at the capacitor 2210 corresponds, the capacity of which, for example, is of the order of magnitude of about 0.1 microfarads, essentially that
- This voltage is detected by the time-based "trigger" comparator at the input connection 2204 of the timer 2202, as a result of which an internal flip
- the timer 2202 can be flop, which in turn causes the output voltage at the output terminal 2208 of the timer 2202 to rise or remain at the voltage level of the supply voltage of twelve volts.
- the "discharge" transistor is turned off, allowing the capacitor 2210 to charge through the three resistors 2212 (example order of magnitude: 10 kilohms), 2214 (example order of magnitude: 27 kilohms) and 2216 (example order of magnitude: 100 kilohms).
- the capacitor 2210 approaches the supply voltage of twelve volts when charging, but a threshold comparator is activated at the input terminal 2206 of the timer 2202 when approximately two thirds of the supply voltage is reached, that is to say when approximately eight volts is reached.
- the output signals at the output terminal 2208 of the timer 2202 are supplied to the clock input terminal 2222 of a 74C74 D-type flip-flop designated by the reference number 2220.
- This integrated circuit has a dual function: on the one hand, the flip
- Flop 2220 halves the frequency of the timer 2202 "in equal parts", so that an output signal of nominally sixty Hertz arises; on the other hand the flip-flop 2220 simultaneously provides two mutually complementary output connections 2224 and 2226, which are required by the subsequent circuit.
- the flip-flop 2220 supplied is composed of buffer transistors 2234 and 2238.
- the resistors 2232 (example order of magnitude: 3.3 kilohms) and 2236 (example order of magnitude: 3.3 kilohms) assigned to the two buffer transistors 2234 and 2238 limit the current flow to the base of the respective one
- Buffer transistors 2234 and 2238 to a safe value.
- Resistors 2242 exemplary order of magnitude: one kiloohm
- 2244 exemplary order of magnitude: one kiloohm
- the output signals of the buffer transistors 2234 and 2238 are each connected to so-called "push pull" transistors, which are each formed by pairs of transistors 2252, 2254 and transistors 2256, 2258.
- the pnp transistors 2252 and 2256 act as
- Driver transistors for transistors 2254 and 2258 that is, the current requirement of the main power transistors is covered by pnp transistors 2252 and 2256, so that a complete saturation state can be achieved.
- the driver current strengths provided by the pnp transistors 2252 or 2256 can be up to five amperes, depending on the load connected via the output of the inverter.
- Various suitably selected resistors 2262 (example order of magnitude: 49 kilohms), 2264 (example order of magnitude: 49 kilohms), 2266 (example order sizes) are connected upstream, intermediate or downstream of the individual transistors 2252, 2254 or 2256, 2258.
- the transistors 2254 and 2258 which are interconnected in the so-called "push pull" mode, alternately apply current to the respectively assigned half 2284, 2284 'of the primary coil 2282 of a transformer 2280. Alternating current flow in this context means that the contact to one transistor 2254 or 2258 is interrupted when the other transistor 2258 or 2254 is currently in the fully saturated state (and vice versa).
- This alternating switching of the two transistors 2254 and 2258 generates a magnetic field in the transformer core 2286 of the transformer 2280 by means of magnetic induction, which causes an "energy transfer" to a secondary coil 2288.
- Choice of the ratio of the number of turns of the primary coil 2282 to the number of turns of the secondary coil 2288 can be tapped from the latter, for example in the form of rectangular pulses high voltage of an order of magnitude of at least about 30,000 volts.
- Air that is to say both the starting product atmospheric nitrogen N 2 and the starting product atmospheric oxygen 0 2 , now goes through a series of electrical discharges in the first stage 20a of the gas generator unit 20 by means of high-voltage arcs, which is at least of the order of magnitude due to the high voltage provided by the electrical circuit 22 approximately 30,000 volts are generated.
- the nitrogen monoxide NO generated in this way in the gas generator unit 20 is immediately oxidized by atmospheric oxygen O 2 to nitrogen dioxide NO 2 due to the odd number of electrons in the NO molecule (-> at least one electron is unpaired), so that in the reaction unit 30 ( in addition to the ozone O 3 ) ultimately nitrogen dioxide NO arrives; this nitrogen dioxide NO 2 is very readily soluble in water H 2 O.
- Nitrogen oxides NO x are brought into a state that can be characterized as unstable, for which purpose the water H 2 O, the ozone O 3 and the nitrogen oxides NO x are thoroughly and continuously mixed in the reaction unit 30 by means of a suitable mixing and / or stirring device.
- the reaction of the water H 2 O with the predominantly present nitrogen dioxide NO 2 not only forms hydroxyl ions OH "in a manner essential to the invention (namely in that the nitrogen oxides NO x form a hydrogen atom H + from each water molecule H 2 O.) get), but also a number of nitrogen-containing compounds, such as nitrous oxide N 2 O, nitrous acid HNO 2 or Nitric acid HNO 3 ; in these nitrogen-containing compounds, the nitrogen atom is in low oxidation states.
- the aforementioned nitrogen-containing compounds can be a product of the reactions of oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen atoms in the reaction unit 30, the environmental conditions, such as pressure, temperature and / or electrical current flow, to which the nitrogen-containing compounds are exposed to have a significant influence to have.
- the unstable water is not only susceptible to the influences of pressure, temperature and / or the electrical current flow, but also to other forces, such as gravitation, magnetism and / or the like, which lead to molecular "cracking".
- the nitrogen oxides NO x are now dissolved in the water H 2 O coming from the water reservoir unit 10, the above-mentioned reactions can to a certain extent be regarded as by-products of the chemical reactions.
- the unstable water molecules are dissolved in oxygen O 2 and in the hydrogen H 2 functioning as fuel in a separation unit 40 (so-called “molecule splitter”; see FIG. 5). splits.
- the diamagnetic components of the unstable water are separated from the paramagnetic components of the unstable water in order to split up the unstable water in the separation unit 40 at the molecular level.
- the separation unit 40 is assigned an energy source 24, for example in the form of a voltage source of, for example, twelve volts; this energy source 24 is preferably the same energy source by means of which the DC voltage to be transformed into high potential differences of the order of magnitude of approximately 30,000 volts is provided for the electrical circuit (so-called “triatomic circuit”) of the gas generator unit 20.
- an energy source 24 for example in the form of a voltage source of, for example, twelve volts; this energy source 24 is preferably the same energy source by means of which the DC voltage to be transformed into high potential differences of the order of magnitude of approximately 30,000 volts is provided for the electrical circuit (so-called “triatomic circuit”) of the gas generator unit 20.
- the separation unit 40 has at least two electrodes 42 made, for example, of aluminum or copper, the tips of which are assigned to one another and are only a very small distance from one another and by means of voltage application by the associated energy source 24, in which it it is, for example, at least one commercially available motor vehicle battery that is caused to glow at temperatures of approximately 1000 degrees Celsius or more.
- the separation unit 40 is followed by a liquid for extraction
- the recirculation unit 50 is always filled with water H 2 O at a relatively constant level, the nitrous gases being removed by the removal of the liquid constituents, such as the nitrogen dioxide NO 2
- the catalyzing nitrogen-containing constituents are permanently retained in the circuit defined by the reaction unit 30, the separation unit 40 and the return unit 50; in other words, arranging the recirculation unit 50 ensures that, in addition to the gaseous fuel H 2, only more or less unintentionally remaining gaseous substances, such as ammonia NH 3 or oxygen O 2 , reach the combustion chamber 90.
- a fuel pump unit 60 Downstream of the return unit 50 is a fuel pump unit 60 (so-called “fuel pump”), by means of which the fuel can be pumped from the separation unit 40 to a fuel buffer tank 70 (so-called “buffer tank”) connected downstream of the fuel pump unit 60.
- the above-mentioned fuel buffer tank 70 in which the gaseous hydrogen H 2 transferred from the separation unit 40 can be stored and from which the gas is stored, serves essentially the same purposes (sufficient supplying the combustion chamber 90 with fuel and thus avoiding the engine or the gas turbine from dying)
- Hydrogen H 2 is available when required, that is to say "on demand”.
- the fuel buffer tank 70 which acts as an intermediate store, has an exemplary maximum capacity of two hundred milliliters of (liquid) hydrogen H2, so that with constant hydrogen production it is also possible to vary the (engine) speed caused by the combustion chamber 90 within small limits.
- the fuel buffer tank 70 is of particular importance for the invention in order to ensure an adequate supply of the combustion chamber 90 with fuel H 2 during acceleration of the motor vehicle and in higher speed ranges of the motor vehicle.
- a fuel control unit 80 Downstream of the fuel buffer tank 70 and upstream of the combustion chamber 90 is a fuel control unit 80, which controls the quantity or. Mixing ratio of hydrogen H 2 fed in by the fuel buffer tank 70 and ozone O 3 supplied by the gas generator unit 20 regulates before this mixture enters the combustion chamber 90.
- This fuel control unit 80 is designed, for example, in the form of an electronic control in order to adapt the hydrogen production to the hydrogen consumption of the combustion chamber 90; accordingly, "accelerating" is possible in the combustion chamber 90.
- FIG. 1A shows that the gas generator unit 20 can deliver the ozone O 3 not only to the reaction unit 30, but also to a large extent to the fuel control unit 80, for which purpose it is advantageous to have the gas generator unit 20 in two parts or in
- combustion can be brought about in the combustion chamber 90, because with the ozone O 3 supplied from the gas generator unit 20, the gas stream transporting the hydrogen H energy carrier becomes gaseous Ammonia NH 3 in the combustion chamber 90 completely (almost) burned to nitrogen N 2 and water H 2 O.
- tri-atomic ozone O 3 as an oxidizing agent can significantly increase the performance of the present device 100, not least because the tri-atomic ozone O 3 reacts faster than diatomic oxygen O 2 and a higher energy supply and a very low level Guaranteed fuel consumption.
- FIG. 1B is a schematic illustration of a second exemplary embodiment of a device 100 'for providing a combustion substance (mixtures) s shown, which also uses the method according to the present invention. Unless corresponding explanations are given below on the second exemplary embodiment of the device 100 'according to FIG. 1B, unnecessary repetitions with regard to the configurations, elements, features and / or are avoided
- a water reservoir unit 10 (so-called "H 2 ⁇ tank”; see FIG. 2), which is made of non-corrosive material, for example fiberglass or polyethylene or stainless steel, is with conventional, untreated tap water or with demineralized water filled; this water H 2 O enters a first reaction chamber 30 'connected downstream of the water reservoir unit 10. Furthermore, nitrogen oxides NO x , such as nitrogen monoxide NO or especially nitrogen dioxide NO 2 , as well as nitrous acid HNO 2 or nitric acid HNO3 and / or ammonia NH 3 are introduced into this first reaction space 30 '.
- nitrogen oxides NO x such as nitrogen monoxide NO or especially nitrogen dioxide NO 2 , as well as nitrous acid HNO 2 or nitric acid HNO3 and / or ammonia NH 3 are introduced into this first reaction space 30 '.
- a gas generator unit 20 so-called "triatomic generator”
- O 2 catalytic decomposition of air Lu; cf. Figure 1 B.
- the nitrogen monoxide NO generated in the gas generator unit 20 is immediately oxidized by atmospheric oxygen O 2 to nitrogen dioxide NO 2 , so that nitrogen dioxide NO 2 ultimately arrives in the first reaction space 30 '; this nitrogen dioxide NO 2 is very readily soluble in water H 2 O.
- the nitrogen-oxygen compound in particular the nitrogen dioxide NO 2
- the nitrogen-oxygen compound can also be produced by dissociating the nitric acid HNO3 in nitrogen dioxide NO 2 , in water H 2 O and in oxygen O2.
- a second chamber 20b 'of the gas generator unit 20 provides ozone O 3 ;
- this ozone O 3 is not introduced into the first reaction space 30', but is fed directly to a second reaction space 40 '(to be explained below) via a pump unit 62 designed as an ozone pump unit.
- the nitrogen oxides NO x in particular from the nitrogen dioxide NO 2 , the ammonium nitrite NH4NO 2 and / or ammonium nitrate NH4NO3 which can be characterized as very unstable.
- the water HO, the nitrous acid HNO 2 or nitric acid HNO 3 and / or the ammonia NH 3 and the nitrogen oxides NO x , in particular the nitrogen dioxide NO 2 can be mixed in the first reaction chamber 30 'by means of a suitable mixing and / or stirring device are thoroughly and constantly mixed.
- the water H 2 O is therefore in the first reaction space 30 ′ due to the catalytic action of the nitrogen oxides NO x , in particular the
- Nitrogen dioxide NO 2 in a state due to charge shift, which can be characterized as unstable.
- NH 4 NO 2 and / or ammonium nitrate NH 4 NO 3 in liquid form can be transported from the first reaction space 30 "by pumps to the second reaction space 40 '(the so-called” fuel converter ") connected downstream of the pump unit 60 ,
- the pump unit 60 which is made of non-corrosive material, for example fiberglass or thermoplastic, reliably guarantees that the required at all times
- Amount of ammonium nitrite NH 4 NO 2 and / or ammonium nitrate NH 4 N03 is available, so that an insufficient supply to the second reaction space 40 '(-> and the combustion chamber 90) and thus an "extinction" of the internal combustion engine (or the gas turbine) be avoided. Since, as stated above, the nitrogen oxides NO x are now dissolved in the water H 2 O coming from the water reservoir unit 10, the above-mentioned reactions can to a certain extent be regarded as by-products of the chemical reactions.
- a critical pressure and a critical temperature are maintained in the second reaction space 40 '(so-called "fuel converter"), so that the ammonium nitrite NH 4 NO 2 and / or ammonium nitrate NH 4 NÜ 3 can be converted from the liquid state to the gaseous state if required and / or desired.
- the second chamber 20b 'of the gas generator unit 20 does not deliver the ozone O 3 to the first reaction space 30', but only to the second reaction space 40 'via the ozone pump unit 62, for which purpose it is advantageous to form the gas generator unit 20 in two parts or in the form of two separate chambers 20a ', 20b 1 (see FIG. 1B) or two separate components.
- the gaseous unstable ammonium nitrite NH 4 N ⁇ 2 and / or ammonium nitrate NH 4 NÜ 3 is now "atomized" in the second reaction space 40 ', that is to say by heating in the second reaction space 40' it splits into its elementary constituents nitrogen N 2 , oxygen O 2 (, ozone O 3 ) and hydrogen H 2 and thus becomes a fuel.
- This fuel is now supplied to the combustion chamber 90 on the basis of a carburetor or by direct injection, in the case of the actual one Combustion of the fuel, the ozone O 3 reacts exothermically with the hydrogen H 2 (combustion explosion); the very stable nitrogen N 2 is released together with the water vapor occurring as a by-product of the combustion through an exhaust pipe.
- the background of the supply of ozone O 3 to the second reaction space 40 ' can be seen, inter alia, in the fact that by means of the ozone O 3 - in contrast to oxygen O 2 - a more or less residue-free, that is to say in particular emission-free and pollution-free, contamination can be brought about in the combustion chamber 90, because with the ozone O 3 supplied from the gas generator unit 20, the gaseous ammonia NH 3 carried by the hydrogen H 2 energy carrier in the combustion chamber 90 is (almost) completely nitrogen N 2 and water ( steam) HO burned.
- the fuel produced is thus introduced directly into the combustion chamber 90 designed as a second reaction space and there is brought to an oxyhydrogen gas explosion with air Lu, oxygen O2 and / or ozone O 3 .
