PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING HYDROGEN ENRICHED FUEL

摘要

A process (10) and apparatus (50) for generating hydrogen enriched fuel for an internal combustion engine is provided. Tap water is softened with industrial salts in a water softening chamber (55) and passes into a solution chamber (60) and thereafter into an electrolysis chamber (65). In the electrolysis chamber (65) the water solution is broken down into hydrogen and oxygen molecules by application of a pulsating direct current. The generated hydrogen molecules are purified and stored in a hydrogen collector (75). The dissociated oxygen molecules are saturated in and re-circulated with the water solution from the electrolysis chamber to the solution chamber (60). A primary fossil fuel from a vehicle fuel tank is sent to a frothing cylinder where it is passed through a perforated tube (81) so as to create turbulence. Thereafter, the frothed fuel is mixed with the collected pure hydrogen in a mixing cylinder (80) thereby forming a hydrogen saturated fuel. The hydrogen enriched fuel may be delivered directly to an internal combustion engine, or may be stored prior to such a delivery.
