Hydrogen and oxygen generator

摘要

A hydrogen generator for producing hydrogen and oxygen gases comprising a housing having an electrolyte reservoir and an electrolysis cell, an electrical power source; a plurality of axially spaced-apart alternating positive and negative electrode plates mounted concentrically and separated from each other by a peripheral sealing ring in the electrolysis chamber; a pair of opposite tabs formed on the perimeter of the plates with openings for receiving an electrode support rod therein, positive electrode plates connected to a positive electrode support rod and negative electrode plates connected to a negative electrode support rod for electrically connecting the positive and the negative electrode plates to the power source, and fluid conduits for conveying liquid electrolyte from the reservoir to the electrolysis cell and for conveying hydrogen and oxygen gases from the electrolysis chamber; the electrode plates comprise a titanium plate having a 1-3 micron platinum coating, said plates preferably having a circular shape with a pair of diametric tabs formed on the edge thereof, each tab having a central opening for receiving the electrode rod therein.

1. A hydrogen generator comprising:
a housing having an upper electrolyte reservoir and a lower electrolysis chamber, an electrolysis cell located in said electrolysis chamber; said electrolysis cell comprising a plurality of axially spaced-apart alternating positive and negative electrode plates mounted concentrically within said electrolysis chamber, each of said positive and negative electrode plates having a platinum coating thereon and having a pair of opposite tabs formed on the perimeter thereof with openings for receiving an electrode support rod therein, said tabs of said positive electrode plates connected to a positive electrode support rod and said tabs of said negative electrode plates connected to a negative electrode support rod, each said positive and negative electrode plate having a circular shape, a central hole and two pairs of radial slots formed therein perpendicular to each other, each radial slot of each said pair of radial slots being on opposite sides of said central hole substantially equidistant from said central hole; means for electrically connecting the positive electrode support rod and the negative electrode support rod to a power source for providing electrical power to said electrolysis cell; fluid conduit means for conveying liquid electrolyte from the electrolyte reservoir to the electrolysis chamber and for conveying hydrogen and oxygen gases from the electrolysis chamber; and cooling means for maintaining a constant temperature.
