Abstract

A water separation apparatus is provided to separate hydrogen and oxygen from water that includes a reaction chamber (12) containing a plurality of spaced apart conductive plates (36), a positive electrical terminal electrically connected to one of the conductive plates (36), and a negative electncal terminal electrically connected to another of the conductive plates. A mixture of water and a catalyst is placed in the chamber and in contact with the plates. A non-conductive adjuster plate is provided to separate the chamber into a front chamber and a rear chamber. A portion of the plates is disposed in the front chamber and the rear chamber. The apparatus may include a collector-separator (16,18) to collect gases from the reaction chamber and separate any remaining water from the gases. The separated water is returned to the reaction chamber, and the hydrogen and oxygen gases are transmitted to a bubbler assembly.
