Description

Hydrogen generator.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a generator of hydrogen, specifically a device for generating hydrogen by dissociating water into oxygen and hydrogen.

The object of the invention is to provide a high performance hydrogen generator device, of contained dimensions, capable of generating a high volume of hydrogen per minute

Background of the invention

In the practical scope of the invention, hydrogen generating devices are known, based on the dissociation of the particles that participate in the water, through electrolysis.

However, these types of devices present a voluminous structuring, in addition to obtaining volumes of relatively small hydrogen, which would be desirable to maximize.

Description of the invention

The generator that is recommended has been conceived to solve the problem described above, allowing generate a high volume of hydrogen per minute, of the order of two liters and a half, all with a volumetry for the device contained.

For this, the generator that is recommended, is constituted from a plurality of steel plates between which are interleaved respective rubber sheets, defining, at less, two plates as positive electrode, and three plates as negative electrode, electrically connected to a battery electric, being the rest of neutral plates.

More specifically, it is expected that cited steel plates participate in a number of 17, with some dimensions of 18x18 cm and a thickness of 1.5 mm, whose flange perimeter is affected by a plurality of small drills, intended to receive the corresponding threaded rods in the stacking between steel plates and rubber plates, rods assisted by the corresponding insulating sheath heat shrink.

The plates will all be affected in their upper middle zone through a half inch hole, whereby the gases generated are intended to flow while inferiorly the plates, except for the last one, are affected through two half-inch holes, through which the Water.

As for the arrangement of the electrodes, it has planned that the two plates that determine the electrodes positive incorporate a bevel in correspondence with its vertex upper right, corresponding to the corresponding rod extreme transverse that passes through said vertex of the plates, which so that said plate is not linked to said rod, defining the opposite vertex a positive conductive medium of electricity.

On the other hand, three plates that determine the negative electrodes incorporate a bevel in correspondence with its upper left vertex, in correspondence with the corresponding extreme transverse rod passing through said vertex of the plates, which way that said plate does not look linked to said rod, the opposite vertex defining a means Negative conductor of electricity.

On the other hand, the rest of the plates "neutral", will incorporate bevels both in their upper vertex right as in its upper left vertex.

All plates will be subjected to a sanding process in two phases, so that in a first phase they will be subjected to sanding horizontally, while in a second phase will be subjected to sanding vertically, with a 100-120 grit sandpaper.

Obviously, after this process, the plates will be subjected to an impurity cleaning process, by immersion in alcohol, brushing and drying.

As for the mentioned rubber gaskets that they have between the steel plates, they participate in number 18, with a thickness of 3 mm, and dimensions of 18x18 cm, being affected, like steel plates, by a plurality of perimeter holes facing the holes of the steel plates, of the same diameter, for passage of the threaded rods discussed above, defining two extreme joints, both affected by a half-inch hole in its upper middle area, while one of them is affected also by two half-inch holes corresponding to your lower middle zone, coinciding with the holes in the plates of steel, the remaining 16 intermediate joints being affected by a large central quadrangular window, 14.5x14.5 cm.

These meetings must also undergo a Cleaning process with alcohol and its corresponding drying.

The set thus described is complemented by extreme covers, of considerable thickness, and dimensions according to those of the set of plates-joints, covers also affected by respective perimeter alignments of holes, both affected by a half-inch hole in its upper middle zone, determining the outlet duct of the gases generated, while one of them is affected by two half-inch holes in its lower middle zone, determinants of the water inlet.

For the assembly of the generator, it starts from the rear cover, which only has the gas outlet, in which the corresponding threaded rods with their corresponding covers, and with interposition of the corresponding ones washers and nuts, the gasket being connected to said assembly complementary, that is, one that has a hole in its upper middle zone for gas outlet, preparing to then a neutral steel plate, and then a gasket intermediate rubber, then a neutral plate and another gasket intermediate, after which the first negative plate is inserted, with its corresponding intermediate rubber seal, a neutral plate and an intermediate rubber seal, another neutral plate and a seal rubber intermediate, a positive iron and an intermediate gasket rubber, a neutral plate and an intermediate rubber seal, another neutral plate and an intermediate rubber seal, a second plate negative and an intermediate rubber gasket, a neutral plate and a rubber intermediate gasket, another neutral plate and an intermediate gasket of rubber, a second positive plate and an intermediate joint of rubber, a neutral plate and an intermediate rubber seal, another neutral plate and an intermediate rubber seal, a third plate negative and an intermediate rubber gasket, a neutral plate and a rubber intermediate gasket, another neutral plate and an extreme gasket rubber, specifically that which has an exit hole of gases and two water inlet holes, and finally, the corresponding end cap, sealing the set by tightening the rods with the contest of respective washers and extreme nuts.

As previously mentioned, through through rods in correspondence with the upper vertices right and left the electrical connection means are defined with the different positive and negative plates, so that the Neutrals do not come into contact with either of these two rods, nor the positive ones with the negative ones, nor vice versa, having planned that said electrical contact is carried out through nuts conveniently distributed that electrically link the corresponding end of the sheet with the threaded rod, which it will be connected to the corresponding electric pole of a battery, or electric generator element, which can be one or more panels solar, as well as a wind turbine.

The set thus described will be protected with a perimeter steel grid.

The generator described in this way is complemented by a water tank, in which we define leaving maximum and minimum levels of water for it, including a bottom outlet that connects by corresponding branching to the entrances of the generator, while the two generated gas outputs are connect to said deposit through its upper extremity, of so that these entries are above the maximum level allowed for the deposit, deposit that will contain the corresponding cap for periodic filling, including a upper outlet for said gases generated, through which these are conducted to a bubbling device, in which the gases are passed through a pre-established volume of liquid, said device including an outlet, liquid that may be water distilled, diesel, kerosene, acetone, depending on the utility that It is intended to give the generated gases.

While generator applications can be multiple, and are not the subject of the present invention, by way of merely exemplary, a series of applications will be cited in which the generator of the invention is extremely effective:

The device can be applied to engines that depend on fuels, for example, car engines, trucks, electricity generating engines, nautical engines Hect The transformation of a gas-oil engine or Gasoline to run on hydrogen is relatively easy. Be you only need to install an injector, a gas regulator and change the carburetor and the tank, or it can also be engines hybrids part of gasoline or gas-oil and part of hydrogen being the gas inlet by the engine admission what It is equal to the air entering the engine.

For industries, where your system is of polluting fuels and the Law requires them to renew them. Greenhouses, wood dryers, fruit dryers, etc.

The device can be used as a soldering iron this gas being very competent for all types of metals: iron, steel, copper, aluminum, even ceramic. In the bubbler you can put instead of water, gasoline, gas-oil, kerosene ,. Acetone, etc., the latter being the acetone that generates a flame of greater heat capacity, exceeding 1200ºC.

It can also be used in boilers home heating, by air conditioners a mixed air water system, underfloor heating, pool heating, etc.

As for the security elements for the generator set, this one, as a gas producer has to carry security measures, especially in applications previously cited, because when the generator is turned off the flame tends to get inward as gas intensity decreases with risk explosion set. As a security measure, enter the maintenance tank and the bubble tank a valve is installed gas return safety, as well as at the exit of the bubbler and those that the respective teams should bring to the which device is associated.

An additional security system for the equipment, is the inclusion in the bubbler above the water level, a tube connected to a small air compressor, of so that before turning off the generator the compressor would be turned on, and the moment the compressor starts to work, the generator, so that the air is pushing all the gas that is is in the bubbler and the outlet tube of the same the clean gas circuit, without any risk to the team.
