The present application claims priority from U.S. application Ser. No. 12/587,102 filed Oct. 2, 2009 Publication US-2011-0079747 A1 Publication Date Apr. 7, 2011 the content of which is hereby amended and incorporated by reference into this application.
An electrical current is generated at regular intervals to produce intense individual pulses of direct current electron flow that is released during the cyclic hydrolysis of small quantities of fluidized alkaline metals, Li, Na, K, and with mixtures of alkaline earth metals, Ca and Mg, in a reaction chamber. The mechanism used for dispensing the said alkaline metals into the said reaction chamber is a rotatively mounted spindle shaft having an orifice which opens and closes the flow of liquid alkaline metals through a valve block passages producing discrete segmented flowing quantities of the said fluidized alkaline metals at evenly spaced controlled intervals.
The liquid medium flowing through the spindle shaft orifice and valve block passages are heated alkaline metals, principally sodium (Na) at 210° F. or potassium and sodium mixtures that exist in the liquid state at normal room temperature. The alkaline metal enters the simplex generator valve block at its inlet passage and passes into a rotating spindle shaft orifice and exits the valve block exit passage as finite quantities of pulsed flow which are approximately equivalent in volumetric measure to the spindle shaft orifice volume. The pulsed flow exits the simplex generator at regularly spaced intervals corresponding to the rate of rotation of the spindle shaft. One complete revolution of the spindle shaft in the valve block opens and closes the alkaline metal flow circuit through the valve block two times. The spindle shaft is rotated at 30 rpm opening and closing the flow 60 times in one minute producing 60 pulses at 1 hz intervals.
Alkaline metal flow to the simplex generator valve block inlet passage is induced by a low volume high pressure pumping system. The pressurized metal flow passes out of the simplex generator valve block exit passage in regularly spaced finite pulses into an injector where it is hydrolyzed by an impinging water jet. The alkaline metals entering the injector react exothermally with the injector water spray during hydrolyzation rupturing the hydrogen to oxygen bonds of the water molecules releasing electrons (e−) and positive charged subatomic protons (H+) as shown in Eq. 1.
Na+H2O→NaOH+H++e− Eq. 1
Simplex generators are best used in direct current electrical generation for transformer operation, a task most generally reserved for alternating current (ac) circuits. Pulsing direct current transformers are more efficient than alternating current transformers because the current flow is only in one direction such that hysteresis losses are low where the transformer iron core magnetic field reversal does not occur during the period of spindle shaft off flow and therefore does not inhibit the high rate of collapsing magnetic field lines of force cutting across a stationary metal conductor. The electrical current released during hydrolyzation is equal to the electrochemical equivalence of the energy stored in a given quantity of alkaline metal during electrolysis reduction necessary to reduce the metal to its elemental state. The stored energy in the reduced metal is released during hydrolysis of the metal resulting in oxidation and return to the original energy level in accordance with the First Law of Thermodynamics. The stored energy released in the hydrolysis reaction is used to chemically separate by hydrolysis the hydrogen to oxygen bond (H—O) of water which is about 110 kcal. The hydrolysis of sodium (Na) is used as a typical example of Group 1 alkaline metals (Li, Na, K) presented as Eq. 1 and also with alkaline earth metals of Group II (Mg, Ca) in accordance with their respective equivalent chemical bonding valences relative to Eq. 1.
If Eq. 1 is allowed to proceed through a series of intermediate ionization equilibrium reactions the fully reacted system will settle to the lowest potential energy level and no useful energy can be extracted from the process. In order to prevent the reaction of Eq. 1 from proceeding to equilibrium electron charges (e−) are removed as static charges from the strakes of the capacitor tuyere of Ref. 2.
The dissociated fluid products of Eq. 1 are passed into an ionic capacitor of Ref. 1 which is installed in the fluid circuit in Ref. 2 and is hereinafter referred to as a “tuyere”. The negative charges (e−) of Eq. 1 are transferred from the charged tuyere metal strake surfaces to dielectric capacitors of Ref. 2. The tuyere strakes and dielectric capacitor systems function in unison and are hereinafter referred to as a “capacitor tuyere”. The capacitor tuyere is used to produce free electron charges (e−) for electrical generation and also for the simultaneous production of open bonded positive charged ions for organic synthesis.
Electric dc current produced by the “Simplex Generator Set” is more efficient because a field charge has no mass and therefore the duration of magnetic retention cutting across a fixed metal conductor is equal to the spindle shaft maximum induced amplitude (Qo) and the useful period of transmission (Qt) is of longer duration. The cyclic duration Qt is approximately given by the expression of Eq. 2.

Where Qt is spaced at 1 hz intervals, Qo is maximum amplitude, and (b) is a constant decrement of retention of the conductor circuit die away factor∈=−bt.
The amount of electric current produced when a conductor cuts across the lines of force of a magnetic field varies proportionately with the rate at which the lines of forces are cut. Generator armature wire conductor fields have mass (m). The rotative effort (F) of an armature is an exponential function of the product of the rotational speed (v2) at which the mass (m) armature rotates through the magnetic field lines of force (F=mv2). Because the simplex generator does not employ a rotating mass its generating capacity depends only on the rate of the speed of the magnetic lines of force in the collapsing pulse die-away factor which cuts across the primary winding that is being inducted into the secondary winding of a transformer or of an inductive motor field windings. Generator armature masses move in a restricted circular arc which is determined by the number of rotor or stator fields, resulting in a constantly changing rate of magnetic force lines of cleavage producing a variable combined vectored momentum of individual impulses of torque. The physical weight of generator armature mass induced impulses encumber the efficiency of the system by higher kinetic mass momentum loss which is additive to the iron core hysteresis loss. These losses are eliminated in the present invention by reversing the system component operating function. The magnetic field is moved through a stationary conductor mass at a very high rate when the magnetic field collapses during the off period of fluid flow through the spindle shaft orifice channel.
It is the primary object of the invention to provide a novel means of dispensing finite quantities of chemically reactive alkaline metal fluids into a reaction chamber at regularly spaced intervals through an orifice of a spindle shaft rotating unidirectionally in a valving circuit at a constant rate.
It is another object of the invention to use a spindle shaft rotating at constant speed and having an orifice which opens and closes the flow of an alkaline metal fluid circuit to a hydrolyzation chamber to generate a pulsed release of electrochemical equivalent electron flow to produce a pulsing direct current electrical circuit.
It is yet another object of the invention to chemically generate at evenly spaced intervals a strong electromagnetic discharge of negative charged electrons and an associative stream of positive charged ions for electrophoretic synthesis.
