Description
[0001] This application emanates from a previous provisional patent
filing dated May 13, 2008, application No. 61/052,694
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present invention generally relates to methods and
systems for generating oxygen and hydrogen gases from water, and,
more particularly, to methods and systems for decomposing water
into oxygen and hydrogen gases utilizing electrical forces and for
separating an oxygen rich gas and a hydrogen rich gas from the
water decomposition products.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] Various systems and devices are known in the art for
producing oxygen from water and water vapor alone or as contained
in various other gases such as waste gases. One such device is
disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,263,112 to Aylward which relates to an
electrolytic converter for electrolytically converting water and
moisture vapor to oxygen and hydrogen for use in a closed
environment, particularly in connection with space travel. The
device includes a housing providing a cell chamber, an inlet for
water vapor and outlets for oxygen and hydrogen, the chamber
containing a cell assembly including a gas pervious catalytic
anode, a gas pervious cathode and an electrolyte containing matrix
member between the anode and the cathode providing a conductive
path. The anode specifically incorporates a catalytic coating to
effect electrolysis of water vapor to hydrogen ions and oxygen, the
catalytic coating containing iridium oxide.
[0004] Another such system is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,254 086
to Sanders which relates to system wherein a mixture of gases
containing hydrogen is prepared by the dissociation of water vapor
at an elevated temperature in excess of 350.degree. C. The
resultant gaseous mixture containing hydrogen is then passed
through a maze formed of a plurality of wafers of porous refractory
material having a hydrogen permeable platinum group metal membrane.
In the maze of wafers, hydrogen is separated to leave an oxygen
enriched gas.
[0005] In addition, U.S. Pat. No. 4,747,925 to Hasebe et al
discloses a system which simultaneously generates a mixed oxygen
hydrogen gas by providing at least one pair of positive and
negative electrodes opposed to each other in a tank of aqueous
electrolyte solution which has a gas outlet. Also there are
provided in the tank at least one pair of a magnetic member with
the polarities thereof fixed in one and the same direction so that
the forces therefrom will be directed upwardly in accordance with
Fleming's left-hand rule in connection with the direction of the
potential difference generated between the pair of electrodes.
Oxygen and hydrogen produced in the system of the Hasbe patent are
separated by interposing a diaphragm between the pair of electrodes
and providing separate outlets for the respective gases.
[0006] The disclosures of the above patents are incorporated by
references in their entireties.
[0007] Several disadvantages are inherent with such systems not
including their relative complexity and relatively high costs
associated therewith in term of equipment and energy costs. Among
these disadvantages of conventional process for the electrolysis of
water including those as noted above, there are the use of toxic
compounds such as acids, acetate, ammonia, arsenic, asbestos,
cadmium, carbon monoxide, caustic soda, chlorine, formaldehyde,
methanol, mercury, phosphorous, cyanide and compounds of sulfur. As
is readily apparent, use of these toxic materials involves
environmental hazards as well as direct hazards to human
safety.
[0008] In addition, many of the conventional processes and systems
for the electrolysis of water use expensive precious metals and
exotic organometallic compounds as catalysts or as composites of
electrodes and electrolytic fluids. Furthermore, these processes
and systems tend to utilize very high heat, very high pressures,
polychemical processes and the like and tend to operate slowly
which pyramids equipment costs and magnifies equipment problems. In
addition, such systems tend to be quite large and require
significant amounts of energy for operation.
[0009] Hydrogen is an ideal eco-friendly fuel but has limited
applications thus far due to inefficient production technologies.
The subject invention is compact and produces a massive output of
Hydrogen fuel, (along with the proportional amount of oxygen)
capable of operating at varying levels of output, on-demand. Our
power cell can interface easily with existing technologies to power
standard motor vehicles (gas, diesel, ethanol or hydrogen systems),
recreational vehicles, home energy systems and home appliances,
commercial/industrial power generators, smelters and much more.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0010] It is; therefore; a feature of the subject invention to
provide a system for the decomposition of water into an oxygen rich
stream and hydrogen rich stream which utilizes electrical forces
alone.
[0011] It is another feature of the present invention to provide a
system which is capable of recovering an oxygen rich stream from
the decomposition of water.
[0012] It is another feature of the present invention to provide a
system which is capable of recovering a hydrogen rich stream from
the decomposition of water.
[0013] It is a further feature of the present invention to provide
a water decomposition system which is able to operate with
relatively low amounts of energy and thus has low operational
costs.
[0014] It is another feature of the present invention to provide a
water decomposition system which can be easily and simply
constructed from relatively inexpensive components to thereby
provide an operational system of a relatively low cost.
[0015] It is a further feature of the present invention to provide
a system for the decomposition of water which utilizes dynamic and
concentrated electrical forces so as to produce large volumes of
both relatively pure hydrogen and relatively pure oxygen at a low
cost.
[0016] It is also a feature of the present invention to provide a
system which uses the energy upon the covalent bonds binding the
water molecule. The modulated waveform is applied to the resonant
cell components, and internal currents, voltages, zero resistance
and electrical resonance occur in the water molecules,
fractionating the covalent bonds, freeing the H and O atoms
[0017] It is also a feature of the system of present invention to
use electrical forces and spacing of the source of such electrical
forces to create resonances within the body of water.
[0018] It is a further feature of the present invention to
eliminate the use of toxic compounds conventionally used in the
electrolysis of water. SEE claim 8 We do use a minute amount of
Sulfuric Acid. Only roughly 50 parts per million (PPM) it makes the
water the same ph as orange juice, and not an environmental
threat.
[0019] It is also a feature of the present invention to eliminate
the use of the precious metals and exotic organometallic compounds
as catalysts or as composites of electrodes and electrolytic fluids
as conventionally used in electrolysis of water.
[0020] It is also a feature of the systems of the present invention
to provide separate hydrogen and oxygen gaseous streams for use in
a fuel cell, as a supplement to an internal combustion engine cycle
or for other appropriate uses.
[0021] It is also a feature of the present invention to provide for
the immediate use or consumption of these oxygen and hydrogen rich
gases as they are produced so as to manage the overwhelming bulk
storage and hazards associated therewith.
[0022] Briefly, in its broader aspects, the present invention
comprehends a portable system adapted for use in decomposing water
and separating an oxygen rich gaseous stream and a hydrogen rich
gaseous stream through electrically induced resonance.
[0023] Further features, objects and advantages of the present
invention will become more fully apparent from a detailed
consideration of the arrangement and construction of the
constituent parts as set forth in the following description when
taken together with the accompanying drawings.
[0024] By subjecting standard distilled water (with a minute amount
of a electrolytic agent suspended in it), to uniquely modulated
electric frequencies, the molecular bonding of the water molecules
becomes massively fractionated and readily separates into it's base
components of hydrogen and oxygen. By increasing or decreasing the
current flow, we achieve on-demand production, and in volume vastly
exceeding the production capability of any other water based
hydrogen fuel technologies in the market. Once the reaction is
initiated, extremely low levels of power input are required to
maintain the reaction. The system may potentially require one very
small low pressure tank to act as a reserve buffer for starting or
continuity under load, thus eliminating the dangers associated with
conventional fuel tanks and/or high pressure systems for hydrogen
fuel systems. This is an on-site, on-demand, compact, reliable,
inexpensive and extremely high output capability fuel cell
producing hydrogen and oxygen
[0025] Electrical power device connected to tube(s) containing
water with catalyst allowing for high output, on-demand separation
of water into it's basic components of Hydrogen and Oxygen. This is
not simple Browns gas technology.

Hydrogen/Oxygen generator Figure
[0027] FIG. 2 is a frontal view (with details) of my resonant water
capacitor with 3 electrodes
[0028] FIG. 3 is a frontal view (with details) of my resonant water
capacitor with 5 electrodes
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0029] FIG. 1 is detailed as follows:
[0030] 1--LOW VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY--Delivers>80% dynamic/clamped
voltage regulation to the low-level system stages with a negative
chassis return.
[0031] 2--DISTRIBUTED POWER SUPPLY--Provides branch low level
positively regulated voltages to the low level/low current stages
with >80% branch voltage regulation parameters.
[0032] 3A--PLL OSCILLATOR--This stage is a PLL Oscillator, which
generates three specific fundamental frequencies, the fundamental
frequency, and two offset generated carriers at -18 degree carrier
lags which are configured as a VSB (Vestigial Side Band). This VSB
component is phase lock looped by a feed back circuit from the
output modulator to the oscillator to effect frequency correction
of the system.
[0033] 3B--PLL--Feedback loop pulse/signal, which corrects the
system operational frequency within 0.05% @67 deg F. ambient
temperature as a design center.
[0034] 4--PWM GENERATOR--(Pulse Wave Modulated) square wave signal
with a variable duty cycle adjustment and mixed with the VSB signal
carriers from the previous stage combining the -18 degree carrier
lagged composite signal. Constructs the base composite waveform for
further processing, VSB generation, amplification, mixing, harmonic
carrier fixing, harmonic sub-carriers, phase shift and composite
pulse buffering. This stage presents a 4 db signal gain to the
system chain. These waveform components are mixed with the selected
fundamental frequencies and selected harmonics which are positioned
on specific sub carriers with designed amplitude levels and then
(configured) into the subsequent composite waveform then frequency
swept at a given repetition rate which is then presented to the
isolation buffer stage as a composite, sweeping digital signal for
further amplification and processing.
[0035] 5--BUFFER ISOLATION STAGE--This stage provides isolation and
minimal coupling loading between the waveform composite mixer and
the modulator driver stage. The buffer isolation stage has unity
gain.
[0036] 6A--MODULATION DRIVER--Configured as a mosfet half bridge
low impedance driver for the modulator stage. This driver has an 8
db circuit gain at a drive signal input of 1 mv.
[0037] 6B--MODULATOR DRIVER POWER SUPPLY--A mid-level regulated
power supply providing the modulator driver stage with voltage and
required current for its amplification.
[0038] 7A--MODULATOR AMPLIFIER--Configured as a full bridge class D
mosfet P-P design without a low pass filtering in the output to
preserve the composite pulse formation. The stage gain is 10
db.
[0039] 7B--MODULATOR POWER SUPPLY--Isolated ground buss power
supply provides the positive and negative rail voltage and currents
necessary for half wave or full wave class "D" isolated buss
operation of the primary modulation amplifier stage.
[0040] 8--MODULATION TRANSFORMER--Used as an impedance matching and
coupling device to provide a step up pulse ratio output which is
presented to the resonant inductor/water capacitor circuits.
[0041] 9--RESONANT CIRCUIT FOR HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN
EXTRACTION--Water Capacitor into which a composite waveform is
coupled to either a series and/or parallel circuit, within a given
"Q" value range to establish resonance. 50 ppm of H2SO4 sulfuric
acid is used as an additive to pure distilled H2O within the water
capacitor (classified here as the dielectric component or material)
to reduce its ohmic/volume resistance to a manageable value for
resonance of which electrode size, spacing and a dielectric
constant is used to calculate the capacitance values. The
dielectric value of distilled H2O is exponentially a value of 80 at
room temperature F.
[0042] The H2O molecule (referred to as the dielectric), at
resonance, is elevated to a state of "hyper resonance" using a hi
voltage, low current, configured, composite pulse train keyed to
the water molecule electrical constants, causing efficient water
molecule fractionation and the on demand production of hydrogen and
oxygen from this hyper resonant state. During dielectric molecule
separation, the Hydrogen atomic geometry of magnetic and
electrostatic values are changed into a super-conductive state at
room temperature with their respective hydrogen and oxygen forms
being collected at their opposite sine electrodes.
[0043] (Also see detail drawing FIGS. 2 and 3 with their supportive
text)
[0044] 10--RESONANT FLYWHEEL POWER SUPPLY--Senses load current
demands of the regulated voltage within 10% of demand levels. A
crow bar type regulation is incorporated. This power supply is
connected to the main resonant circuit components through a
parallel resonant circuit exhibiting infinite impedance to the
resonance frequencies (isolation), but passing the necessary dc
component to the resonant circuit components.
[0045] 11--OUTPUT--Hydrogen and Oxygen are released in the form of
gas from this exit port, in a controlled, variable and on-demand
production output.
