1. A portable hydrogen supplemental system for supplying hydrogen gas to an internal combustion engine comprising:
a housing unit; an electrolyzer mounted inside the housing unit that separates nonelectrolyte water into hydrogen and oxygen gas in response to electrical power; a nonelectrolyte water tank mounted inside the housing unit and positioned to supply nonelectrolyte water to the electrolyzer; a power supply for supplying the electrical power in the form of a voltage to the electrolyzer; and an engine sensor for detecting operation of the internal combustion engine wherein the electrolyzer, when supplied with electrical power, produces hydrogen and oxygen gases from the nonelectrolyte water being supplied from the nonelectrolyte water tank, and supplies, via the nonelectrolyte water tank, the hydrogen gas being produced to the internal combustion engine for combustion therein, wherein the electrolyzer is disposed external of the nonelectrolyte water tank, wherein the nonelectrolyte water tank includes a tank divider which separates the nonelectrolyte water tank into first and second tank sections that are both filled with the nonelectrolyte water when the nonelectrolyte water is input into the nonelectrolyte water tank, wherein the nonelectrolyte water tank includes at least first and second gas collection cavities at a top portion thereof for collecting hydrogen gas and oxygen gas respectively, the first and second gas collection cavities each being formed by a top surface of the nonelectrolyte water tank, the tank divider and the surface of the nonelectrolyte water in the nonelectrolyte water tank, wherein the first gas collection cavity includes a fitting at the top thereof for outputting the hydrogen gas out of the nonelectrolyte water tank to the internal combustion engine for combustion therein, wherein the second gas collection cavity includes a fitting at the top thereof for outputting the oxygen gas out of the nonelectrolyte water tank, wherein the power supply supplies electrical power to the electrolyzer when the engine sensor detects that the internal combustion engine is in operation, wherein the hydrogen gas supplied from the electrolyzer to the nonelectrolyte water tank is input to the first tank section, travels through the nonelectrolyte water in the first tank section, and collects in the first gas collection cavity, wherein the oxygen gas supplied from the electrolyzer to the nonelectrolyte water tank is input to the second tank section, travels through the nonelectrolyte water in the second tank section, and collects in the second gas collection cavity, wherein said electrolyzer comprises: a plurality of layers, said layers being non-liquid and each layer being in adjacent contact with another one of said layers, wherein the plurality of layers includes at least two external layers and an internal layer which is disposed in adjacent contact between the external layers, wherein a first external layer is connected to a positive terminal of the power supply and as such applies the positive side of the voltage to a first side of the internal layer, and a second external layer is connected to a negative terminal of the power supply and as such applies the negative side of the voltage to a second side of the internal layer, said first and second sides being on opposite sides of the internal layer, and wherein when the voltage is applied across the first external layer, the internal layer and the second external layer, the electrolyzer separates the nonelectrolyte water into oxygen gas which is output on the first side of the internal layer and hydrogen gas which is output on the second side of the internal layer. |
