  • Publication number: 20150167180
    Abstract: A system for generating ortho-Oxyhydrogen uses a number of electrolytic cells to convert water into gas via electrolysis, with the resulting oxygen and hydrogen gas mixture being input into a combustion engine through the air intake duct. The system results in increased engine efficiency. The electrolytic cells are split into a two by three grid, with two rows of anodes and two rows of cathodes. A primary anode and a primary cathode serve to split current from a power source in order to ensure current is evenly split between the rows. Water for the electrolysis is supplied from a fluid storage tank, from which it passes through a fluid leveling tank into the electrolytic cells via a fluid pan. The system is operated by a control module which manages several aspects such as temperature, system shutdown, and circuit protection.

  • Patent number: 6076576
    Abstract: A wood splitter having an elongated beam including a center rail, a horizontally disposed top surface and a horizontally disposed bottom surface defining a pair of channels. A first push member is attached at an end of the beam. An elongated frame is position above the bottom surface of the beam and is movable along the longitudinal axis of the beam. Hydraulic cylinders within each of the channels operate to push a second push member attached at an end of the frame away from the first push member to cause a splitting wedge to engage a log supported by the top surface.
