IONIZATION CHAMBER DESIGNED TO ENHANCE COVALENT BONDING OF ATOMIC
ELEMENTS FOR THE RELEASE OF RAW HYDROGEN AND TO ELIMINATE WASTE
WATER IN THE PROCESS
Abstract
An ionization chamber is disclosed that can free ions in water
creating polarized atoms of hydrogen and oxygen derived from water
in the process. The water can be comprised of non potable waste
water. Once the hydrogen and oxygen ions are released, and
polarized in the process, the electrons can be aligned such that
the end product is the release of hydrogen and the bonding of the
oxygen with the free electrons of the other element(s) such as
Titanium or Tungsten for example, without high heat or pressure as
is normally required. The chamber is comprised of a series of
metallic rods, a series of solid nickel mesh plates, a vacuum pump,
a dual pulsed D.C. Power supply (from 200-800 VDC pulsed and a low
power, -24 VDC pulsed at 400-600 Hz.), a water bath chamber, a
ceramic or teflon encapsulated feeder assembly, and an R.F. Pulse
generator.

Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] A description of Debye-Huckel theory includes a very
detailed discussion of the assumptions and their limitations as
well as the mathematical development and applications. A snapshot
of a 2-dimensional section of an idealized electrolyte solution as
depicted in FIG. 1 of the present invention. The ions are shown as
spheres with unit electrical charge. The solvent (pale blue) is
shown as a uniform medium, without structure. On average, each ion
is surrounded more closely by ions of opposite charge than by ions
of like charge. These concepts were developed into a quantitative
theory involving ions of charge z.sub.1e.sup.1 and z.sub.2e.sup.-,
where z can be any integer. The principal assumption is that
departure from ideality is due to electrostatic interactions
between ions, mediated by Coulomb's law: the force of interaction
between two electric charges, separated by a distance, r in a
medium of relative permittivity sub r is given.
[0002] In an ideal electrolyte solution the activity coefficients
of all the ions are equal to one. Ideality of electrolyte solution
can be achieved only in very dilute solutions. Non-ideality of more
concentrated solutions arises principally (but not exclusively)
because ions of opposite charge attract each other due to
electrostatic forces, while ions of the same charge repel each
other. In consequence ions are not randomly distributed throughout
the solution, as they would be in an ideal solution. By generating
a plasma, the charged particles can be controlled and steered in a
variety of ways including magnetically.
[0003] Activity coefficients of single ions cannot be measured
experimentally because an electrolyte solution must contain both
positively charged ions and negatively charged ions. Instead, a
mean activity coefficient, is defined as (.nu.). For example, with
the electrolyte NaCl .nu.=(Na+Cl-).sup.1/2 as depicted in FIG. 2 in
the present invention.
SPECIFICATIONS
[0004] In the present invention a series of shrouded metal rods
comprised of the same type of metal are set in a feeder assembly to
act as one side (anode side) of an ionic generator wherein the
cathode side of the generator is comprised of a like numbered
series of perforated solid nickel plates separated by a similar
number of solid metal nickel plates that are polarized as neutral.
The cathode and anode are charged with a variable 400 to 800 volts
D.C. and a pulse generator pulses the signal at or between 400 to
600 Hz utilizing an R.F. modulated signal, where the entire
assembly is designed to be submerged in water within a ceramic
coated chamber wherein a circulatory pump stirs the liquid in the
bottom of the tank, and the solution is passed through a filter
which removes unwanted particles and debris, while a vacuum of
approximately 15 inches of mercury or in other words about 0.5
atmospheres draws off the subject H2 (hydrogen gasses), or gasses,
as depicted in FIG. 5 of the present invention.
[0005] The process of ionic bonding otherwise known as
electrovalent bonding is heretofore a well known process. What has
not been practiced in prior teachings is the release of hydrogen
gas without a separation bladder to prevent the oxygen (O) gas that
has been freed in the plasma process from contaminating the
released hydrogen and causing an explosive potential. In fact other
teachings show the sequestering of the oxygen product of the
electrolysis being sequestrated by various forms of carbon under
high heat and under extreme pressure which releases toxic carbon
dioxide into the atmosphere in the process, whereas the present
teaching does not. In the present invention the highly charged
oxygen atoms readily combine with the metal particles of the metal
rods to form (in the case of Titanium rods) TiO2.
[0006] Titanium Dioxide. TiO2 is commonly used in cosmetics, paints
and even some foods for coloration enhancement (more commonly known
as Pigment White 6--PW6). The production method of Titanium Dioxide
typically is through the use of Ilmenite mixed with sulfuric acid.
In this process the Rutile (as it is called) is further refined
with pure oxygen or plasma at 1500-2000 degrees K.
[0007] In the present teachings the pure Oxygen released in the
ionic chamber readily combines with the Titanium atoms and can be
easily extracted using a recirculation pump at close to room
temperatures. The metal rods can also be comprised of other metals
such as Tungsten wherein the Tungsten for example combines with the
pure Oxygen to give a resulting Tungsten Trioxide or WO3. This
compound is also typically found as a pigment in paints due to its'
rich yellow color. WO3 is also used in x-ray screen phosphors as
well as fireproofing of fabrics. In recent years WO3 has been used
for electrochromic windows or smart windows in an electrically
switchable glass when a voltage is applied to tint or occlude the
window. WO3 is also used in semiconductor manufacturing for
conduction of electrons in a process known as doping. WO3 is
typically produced by the use of Hydrochloric acid at temperatures
of 1800 degrees K. In the present invention again the WO3 can be
drawn off at room temperature with a recirculation pump.
[0008] In the present invention the byproduct of the above two
examples utilizing tungsten rods and titanium rods is the release
of raw pure hydrogen from the process which can be used as fuel for
energy or heat in a number of various applications including
combustion in a piston type reciprocating or turbine engine.
