Streamlined Electrolyzer

Abstract

The Streamlined Electrolyzer induces an electrolytic reaction in conductive water, and harvests the product hydrogen and oxygen gasses for utilization. The Streamlined Electrolyzer produces a hydrogen and oxygen gas mixture, which can be ignited to produce a flame that can be used in a variety of commercial and residential applications.

1 . The Streamlined Electrolyzer is comprised of the following components: the input valve [ 1 ], the reaction chamber [ 2 ], the liquid/gas filter [ 3 ], the product chamber [ 4 ], the output valve [ 5 ], the absorbent material [ 6 ], and the conductive element [ 7 ].  
     
     
         2 . The Streamlined Electrolyzer produces hydrogen and oxygen gasses according to the method of electrolysis proposed in patent number  6 , 033 , 549  with the following distinctions: the Streamlined Electrolyzer will not individually collect hydrogen or oxygen gas; the Streamlined Electrolyzer will not individually transport hydrogen or oxygen gas; the Streamlined Electrolyzer will not individually store hydrogen or oxygen gas; the Streamlined Electrolyzer will not separate hydrogen and oxygen gasses from one another.  
     
     
         3 . The following attributes of the Streamlined Electrolyzer are distinct from coexisting Electrolyzer patents: the Streamlined Electrolyzer does not include individual anode and cathode elements, it contains a single element with an applied alternating current; the hydrogen and oxygen gasses produced by the Streamlined Electrolyzer are not intended to be separated, they are to be utilized as a hydrogen and oxygen gas mixture.  
     
     
         4 . The Streamlined Electrolyzer contains the input valve [ 1 ].  
     
     
         5 . The Streamlined Electrolyzer contains the output valve [ 5 ].  
     
     
         6 . The Streamlined Electrolyzer contains the reaction chamber [ 2 ].  
     
     
         7 . Said input valve [ 1 ] penetrates said reaction chamber [ 2 ].  
     
     
         8 . Said input valve [ 11  transfers conductive water into said reaction chamber [ 2 ].  
     
     
         9 . The Streamlined Electrolyzer contains the conductive element [ 7 ].  
     
     
         10 . Said conductive element [ 7 ] penetrates said reaction chamber [ 2 ].  
     
     
         11 . Said conductive element [ 7 ] has an applied alternating current.  
     
     
         12 . Said conductive element [ 7 ] transfers its applied alternating current into the conductive water within said reaction chamber [ 2 ] inducing an electrolytic reaction.  
     
     
         13 . Hydrogen and oxygen gasses are produced in said reaction chamber [ 2 ] due to the induced electrolytic reaction; as gasses accumulate in said reaction chamber [ 2 ] there will be an associated rise in pressure.  
     
     
         14 . The Streamlined Electrolyzer contains the liquid/gas filter [ 3 ], which is comprised of microporous hollow tubes with the following attributes: hydrogen and oxygen gasses are capable of penetrating the microporous hollow tubes; conductive water is not capable of penetrating the microporous hollow tubes; the microporous hollow tubes are sized to 15 pico meters in diameter to establish these previous attributes.  
     
     
         15 . Said liquid/gas filter [ 3 ] is connected to said reaction chamber [ 2 ].  
     
     
         16 . Hydrogen and oxygen gasses within said reaction chamber [ 2 ] will be forced to penetrate said liquid/gas filter [ 3 ] as a result of the rise in pressure.  
     
     
         17 . The Streamlined Electrolyzer contains the product chamber [ 4 ].  
     
     
         18 . Said product chamber [ 4 ] is connected to the opposing side of said liquid/gas filter [ 3 ] in consideration of the connection in  claim 15;  hydrogen and oxygen gasses that penetrate said liquid/gas filter [ 3 ] will enter said product chamber [ 4 ].  
     
     
         19 . The absorbent material [ 6 ] occupies space within said product chamber [ 4 ] extending into the exterior environment, transferring water to an unobtrusive location.  
     
     
         20 . Said output valve [ 5 ] penetrates said product chamber [ 4 ].  
     
     
         21 . Said output valve [ 5 ] transfers hydrogen and oxygen gasses in the form of a hydrogen and oxygen gas mixture out of said product chamber [ 4 ] into the exterior environment.
