Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

The present application claims the benefit and priority of the U.S. Provisional patent application with Ser. No. 61/905,224 filed on Nov. 17, 2013 and the entire contents of which is incorporated by reference herein.


BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field


The embodiments herein generally relate to a method and system for generating gaseous reactants. The embodiments herein particularly relates to a method and system for producing hydrogen and oxygen. The embodiments herein more particularly relates to a method and system for producing hydrogen and oxygen using electricity.


2. Description of the Related Art


The most common power source for non-air breathing engines or motors such as those in unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs), satellites, lunar bases, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), are conventional batteries. However, conventional batteries have a low energy density and, thus, lack sufficient energy capacity for many desirable applications. The few types that may provide sufficient energy capacity, such as lithium thionyl chloride, are cost prohibitive.


“Brown's Gas” is oxyhydrogen with a 2:1 molar ratio of H2 and O2 gases, the same proportion as in water. The Brown's Gas is also called as “HHO gas”. It has been discovered that the HHO gas can be used as a fuel for the internal combustion engine. The HHO produced from a HHO hydrogen generator is injected into a combustion engine to dramatically improve the performance of the combustion engine and result in the engine running cleaner. Electrolysis of water is commonly performed to produce the HHO gas. The electrolysis process involves applying an electrical current to distilled water, thereby splitting H2O combination of the water into H2 and O. Since the chemical bonds between the hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms in the water are so strong, some forms of catalyst are added to the water so as to loosen the bonds. The catalyst is mainly used in the electrolysis process so that less electricity is needed in the process to generate the HHO gas.


In the view of foregoing, there is a need to provide a system and method which makes efficient use of electricity to electrolyze water into HHO, a mixture of pure hydrogen and oxygen. The generated mix is used as fuel that is much more powerful than gasoline. Further there is a need for using suitable materials in manufacturing the HHO generation system so as to increase a productivity of HHO gas. Furthermore there is a need for placing the electrodes (cathode and anode) in an improved sequential manner in the HHO generation system so as to produce greater amount of HHO gas.


The above mentioned shortcomings, disadvantages and problems are addressed herein and which will be understood by reading and studying the following specification.

The various embodiments herein provide a system and method for generating a plurality of reactant gases, particularly hydrogen and oxygen. The system adopts electrolysis process to generate a HHO gas from a water-electrolyte solution. The system is a reaction cell which comprises a plurality of electrodes emerged in the water-electrolyte solution. An electric power source connected to the electrodes is configured to supply an electric current so as to electrically charge the electrodes. The charged electrodes react with the water-electrolyte solution to produce the HHO gas.



FIG. 1 illustrates a cutaway view of a HHO generating system without positive electrode and negative electrode frames attached to the disks, according to an embodiment herein. With respect to FIG. 1, the HHO generating system 100 comprises a reaction tank 101 filled with water-electrolyte solution, a plurality of disks 102 stacked one above another, a plurality of frames connecting to the disks and an external power supply. The plurality of disks 102 comprises a plurality of conductive disks and non conducting disks. The conductive disks are negatively charged cathode disks and positively charged anode disks. The non-conductive disks are placed in between the positively charged disks and the negatively charged disks. The plurality of frames comprises a plurality of conductive frames 103 and 104 and a plurality of support frames 107 and 108 configured to hold the disks. The external power supply connected to the conductive frames 103 and 104.



FIG. 2 illustrates a sectional view of a HHO generating system with positive connection and negative electrode frames attached to the respective disks, according to an embodiment herein. A negative potential of the power supply is connected to a negative terminal 105 of an N-connection frame 104 to negatively charge the disks connected to the frame. A positive potential of the power supply is connected to a positive terminal 106 of a P-connection frame 103 to positively charge the disks connected to the frame.


According to an embodiment herein, the system is provided with tube/container in which the disk and frame arrangement are provided inside. The arrangement is secured to a position using a plurality of fastening extensions attached to the container. The tank further comprises at least one hose through which the HHO gas exits the system. The opening of the hose pipe is sealed with a cap. The cap and the pipe opening are bonded by a melting type bonding agent or by applying heat to each other so as to maintain the seal. The tank further comprises a plurality of valves, out of which at least one valve is adopted to supply the water-electrolyte solution to the HHO generator system. The tank is constructed from a high density non-conductive material, for example, preferably High-density Polyethylene (HDPE) material.


According to an embodiment herein, the tank is filled with the water-electrolyte solution which is decomposed by the electrolysis process to produce the HHO gas. Pure water or distilled water is used as the electrolyte in the electrolysis process. The water is mainly used to produce HHO as the pure water is safer than using chemicals, coal or methane. The water is decomposed with zero waste and toxic byproduct. The electrolysis of pure water requires excess energy in the form of over potential to overcome various activation barriers. The efficiency of electrolysis is increased through the addition of an electrolyte (such as a salt, an acid or a base) and the use of electro-catalysts. The catalysts modify and increase the rate of chemical reactions without being consumed in the process. Strong acids such as sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and strong bases such as potassium hydroxide (KOH), and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) are frequently used as electrolytes due to their strong conducting abilities. The electro-catalysts that are used in the process are conductive materials, not limiting to, 316 L stainless steel, 347 L stainless steel, fine grain graphite, Graphene, nano-carbon tubes or nano-carbon ribbon, MMO coated metal, Synthetic Blue diamond doped with boron, Synthetic polycrystalline diamond (PCD), polycrystalline CVD (chemical vapor deposition) diamond and the like. The conductive materials are used in a powder form as an electro-catalyst in the water for gas formation. The water is added preferably with Potassium Hydroxide caustic Potash KOH flakes as catalyst.


The disks are assembled one above another to form a stacked disk arrangement. The disks used are of any shape for example: flat disks, rectangle disks, square disks, domed shaped plates with rims or edges and wires. The plurality of disks comprises the conductive disks which act as electrodes in the electrolysis process. The stack arrangement further comprises the non-conductive disks which are placed in between the conductive disks to provide insulation. The stacked arrangement is further braced by the plurality of frames which are placed on the circumference of the disk arrangement.


The conductive disks are made of highly superconductive material to allow a large amount of electric current to flow from the disks to the water. The materials that are used for manufacturing the conductive disks include, but not limited to, 316 L stainless steel, 347 L stainless, fine grain graphite, Graphene, nano-carbon tubes or nano-carbon ribbon, MMO coated metal, Synthetic Blue diamond doped with boron, Synthetic polycrystalline diamond (PCD) diamond, polycrystalline CVD (chemical vapor deposition) diamond and the like materials.


The conductive disks comprises of a plurality of cathode disks and a plurality of anode plates. The external power supply is connected to the conductive disks to electrically charge the disks. The cathode disks are negatively charged disks whereas the anode disks are positively charged disks. When the electric current is passed through the cathode and anode disks, the disks reacts with the water-electrolyte solution to produce the HHO gas bubbles. The electric current travelling through the disks move along the disk surface, thus creating more surface area at a best distance for the parallel surfaces at 90 degrees. The parallel arrangement of charged disk surface works best to produce the HHO gas. The problems that are encountered due to a use of disks to generate HHO gas are the amount of heat produced during the electrolysis process and transfer of the bubbles out of the electrolyte solution to the top of the reaction tank without igniting the bubbles and/or over-pressurizing the tank/container. The holes and slits that are formed on the conductive disks allow the bubbles to move up and out of the tank. The slots and holes on the disks further helps in lowering the temperature of the disks and the water.



FIG. 3 illustrates a top view and a side view of an anode disk with a plurality of holes in the HHO generating system, according to an embodiment herein, while FIG. 4 illustrates a top view and a side view of a cathode disk with a plurality of slits in the HHO generating system, according to an embodiment herein. The disks with holes 302 are best used as positively charged electrode disks. Hence the anode disks 301 comprise a plurality of holes 302. Since the slit disks are best used as negatively charged disks, the cathode disks 401 comprise a plurality of slits 402. The disks with holes 301 have a greater mass, for transferring more electricity in the water. The disks draw a greater of current when a material with the least ohms reading is used for manufacturing disks and the heat generated by the disk is less.


The electrolysis process corrodes the electrode disks used in the process. The corrosion is a barrier for further damage from further corrosion. Hence the conductive disks are coated with non-corrosive substance to eliminate an effect of corrosion and to increase an electric current conductivity in the disks. The coating of disks is explained considering an example. Considering the metal used for the conductive disks to be 70/30 Copper/Nickel meaning 70% copper & 30% nickel. The treatment for corrosion of the disks is not needed when only the distilled water is used in the tank. Since the electro-catalyst is used with the distilled waiter for electrolysis, the disks need to be coated with a highly conductive material. To form the coating, the metal disks are placed in a solution of distilled water added with sea salt. The disks are left immersed in the sea salt solution for a pre-determined period of time, for example 30 days, so as to allow a crystal salt attachment to the 70/30 Copper/Nickel disk. The same sea salt solution is added with the nano-carbon tubes or graphite powder to produce a new solution. The disks coated with the crystal salt attachment are again immersed in the newly formed solution for a predetermined period of time, for example 30 days. The disks are further covered/coated with a different crystal salt attachment. During a first phase of immersion, the sea salt bonds to the disks, thereby providing a first layer of coating. By further bonding the small particles of graphite/nano-carbon tubes to the sea salt attached to the disks, a second protection layer is formed to lessen the effect of corrosion. The graphite attached to the disks further slows down the flow of electricity on the surface of the disks so as to produce a greater amount of Hydrogen and Oxygen from the water.


It is noticed during electrolysis that the anode electrode corrodes until it is ruptured. So the anode disk needs to be coated with Mixed Metal Oxide [MMO] Anode Coating. The Mixed Metal Oxide [MMO] Anode Coating is a crystalline electrically conductive coating to prevent rusting and corrosion of the anode disks. Since the coating is conductive, the anode disk works perfectly for hydrogen and oxygen production. The highly conductive synthetic blue diamond is mixed into the coating material and the material is bonded to the conductive disk which is to be used as anode. The coating material is bond to high conductive disk through a bonding material (like super glue, 100% Methyl Cyanoacrylate Adhesive etc.).


The synthetic diamond is polycrystalline diamond (PCD) which has extremely high electric conductivity and thermal conductivity. The high conductivity synthetic blue diamond doped with boron is used prominently to replace the stainless steel or copper/nickel disks and MMO metal disk so as to be used as an anode. Alternatively, the metal disks like aluminum which produce toxic gases are coated with blue diamond so eliminate the generation of the toxic gas.


According to an embodiment herein, a plurality of neutral disks is arranged in between the positively charged disks and the negatively charged disks. The neutral disks are mainly used for transferring the heat generated by electricity flowing through the disks and the water. The number of neutral disks placed in between the conductive plates depends on the amount of electric current flowing through the plates. A natural diamond is a perfect non-conductive material and thus it is used for manufacturing the neutral disks. The natural diamond is used for both heating and cooling purposes.


According to an embodiment herein, the pluralities of disks are arranged in a sequence of positive, neutral and negative disks. The measurement of spacing between the disks is important for the hydrogen/oxygen to be formed. The typical minimum spacing usually used is 1/32″ and the maximum spacing is ¼″ maximum with best spacing of 1/16″ apart. For best performance, the thickness of disk material is equal to the width of the spacing/gap between the disks/plates. The disks are stacked in a column in a sequence of positive and negative disks, back and forth, to start and end with a positive/negative disks. The electricity is supplied to the disks by connecting the positive and negative electrode frames to the respective disks in the sequence. The arrangement of disks is explained with an example: Considering a few symbols to represent the sequencing of the disks where a positive charged disk is ‘+’, a negative charged disk is ‘−’ and a neutral disk is ‘n’, then the arrangement of disks can be (+nnnn−nnnn+nnnn−nnnn+) or (−nnnn+nnnn−nnnn+nnnn−). For the aforementioned arrangement, each neutral plate must be about 1.2 to 1.4 Amps, so more number of neutral plates are added to lower the current to 1.2-1.4 Amps, when the power supply of 12 volts or 24 volts (or even more volts) is used. The conductive material allows more current through it, thereby allowing more Amps per disk to flow through, when the dome disk with rim is used for an amplifier.
