Method and Apparatus for Production of Fuel

摘要

A method and apparatus for the production of a fuel from the decomposition of water and the subsequent use of this fuel as an energy source in an internal combustion engine or in a system for generating heat. The method comprises the steps of: a) mixing water and a hydrogen-based source material under pressure to create a mixture; b) creating turbulence in said mixture; c) heating said mixture to the point that the water molecules within the mixture begin to dissociate. The apparatus of the present invention comprises a first pump to pressurize water and a second pump to pressurize the hydrogen-based source material. The pressurized water and hydrogen-based source material are pumped into a mixing tank where they form a mixture. A turbulence-creating mechanism is connected to the mixing tank and the mixture is passed through the turbulence-creating mechanism where it is heated to a temperature sufficient to cause decomposition of the water molecules therein. The mixture is heated to this temperature by a heat applying mechanism which contacts the turbulence-creating mechanism. The mixture is ultimately fed into a combustion chamber where it is ignited by a combination of compression and a spark from a spark plug.
