METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING COMBUSTIBLE FLUID

摘要

This invention relates to a method and apparatus for producing combustible fluid at an efficiency rate of above 65%. The apparatus 10 comprises an electrolysing cell 12 for electrolysing the aqueous electrolytic solution; a separator 16 where the combustible fluid and the solution is separated; a power supply for supplying a DC voltage of from 1 V to 6 V; and a pump for circulating the solution through the apparatus. The electrolysing cell includes a first electrode 18 and a second electrode 20 spaced from the first electrode 18 and a plurality of intermediate electrodes 22 disposed between the first and second electrodes. The power supply applies the DC voltage across the electrodes 18, 20 and 22 to electrolyse the solution, while the solution is circulated through the apparatus 10.
