The Hydrogen generator is not new science as I found when I looked back into my old (1954) 2nd year Auto Mechanics apprentice textbook under electrical theory.
Its actually quite simple.
The chemical effect of an electric current can be studied by connecting wires to a 12 Volt storage battery..one wire from the POS + terminal and one from the NEG - terminal
( WARNING ! DO NOT CONNECT OR TOUCH THE WIRES TOGETHER. BATTERIES CAN EXPLODE)
and submerge the free ends of the two wires (keep separated) in a glass of water in which a little table salt has been dissolved.
Current passing through the liquid causes the water ( H2O ) to break into its two component gases Hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O). The Hydrogen gas accumulates in fine bubbles around the
Neg wire and the Oxygen goes to the Pos wire. The gassing accumulate mainly around the Neg wire.
You could say that is the basics of the Hydrogen fuel cell.
In the units available today, the Hydrogen gas is fed into the air intake. |
