  • Patent number: 6689259
    Abstract: The present invention is a device, which generates a hydrogen and oxygen gas, preferably used for welding. The hydrogen and oxygen gas is generated by an electrolyzing process. Electrolyte is pumped into the hydrogen-oxygen generator where the gas is separated from the electrolyte by applying a direct current voltage across the generator. Oxygen is formed in one part, hydrogen in the other and then combined to form the gas. As the gas is generated, pressure is built up. When the pressure reaches an operating pressure, the gas is pumped via the plumbing system into the electrolyte reservoir, through a filtering process, and stored in a gas reservoir that is connected to a supply line. In operation the supply line is attached to a torch.

  • Patent number: 6688506
    Abstract: A device for securely holding an object on a motor vehicle seat is generally comprised of a frame of four elongate members that form a parallelogram. Two of the elongate members have an extended portion that engages the crease between the back of the seat and the seat bottom portion. Flanges are formed on the ends of the elongate members opposite the ends that are secured in the crease of the seat, and flanges may also be formed at one end of each of the elongate members which are transverse to the elongate members that are secured in the crease. These flanges prevent the object being held from sliding forward or laterally toward the passenger door. The frame has a locking and collapsing mechanism to maintain its configuration while holding the object and for facilitating the collapse of the device for compact storage when not in use.

  • Patent number: 6673322
    Abstract: A process for the production of a clean burning combustible gas by flowing a liquid through an electric arc. The electrodes have several configurations. The invention prevents the production of carbon dioxide in the gas thereby reducing its presence when combusted and exhausted to about half that associated with gasoline exhaust; increases the cost efficiency of the process by eliminating secondary chemical reactions; and increases the life of the electrodes. The chemical structure of the combustible gas is composed of stable magnetically bonded clusters of conventional molecules and atoms that are fully detectable via peaks in conventional mass spectrometric detectors, yet such clusters remain unidentifiable by the computer search among all known molecules, and have no infrared signature other than those of the conventional molecules constituting the clusters. The liquid which is flown through the arc also acquires the chemical structure of magnetically bonded clusters.
