Publication number: 20060219190Abstract: A hydrogen generating system is provided for use in internal combustion engines for increasing the efficiency of the engine and decreasing emissions from the engine. The hydrogen generating system has an electrolysis cell for generating hydrogen and oxygen gases by electrolysis of an aqueous solution, a power source for providing electrical power to the electrolysis cell, an outlet flow means for introducing the generated gases into the intake manifold system of an internal combustion engine, a monitoring means for monitoring the operating conditions of the hydrogen generating system, and a control means connected to the monitoring means for controlling the operation of the hydrogen generating system in response to the monitoring means. Various devices and systems are added to facilitate use and overcome previous problems with prior hydrogen generating systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2006Publication date: October 5, 2006Inventors: Gabi Balan, Johnston Donald, Daniela Balan, Eugeniu Aldea, Mario De Souza

Patent number: 6524453Abstract: The present invention is directed to an electrochemical apparatus comprising of an electrode assembly, an internal reservoir and an internal dryer. The internal dryer consists of a chamber filled with a multitude of balls to create mechanical obstacles removing moisture from gasses present inside, reducing the volume of accumulated gasses and acting as anti-splash for the electrolyte. The invention is also directed to an electrode assembly of monopolar electrodes for use in electrical apparatus. The bipolar electrode assembly comprises a pair of electrodes (12, 14), each of the electrodes having a plurality of electrode plates (16, 18) connected in series together. The electrode plates of each of the electrodes are connected to the next electrode plate in the series by a bridging member (20) contiguous with each of the interconnected electrode plates. The invention is also directed to an electrode for use in an electrode assembly.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2000Date of Patent: February 25, 2003Assignee: FatPower Inc.Inventors: Mario De Souza, Gabi Balan

Patent number: 5361457Abstract: A device for de-linting cotton seeds is described that is of simple construction, does not damage the seeds and is antipolluent. The device comprises a unit provided with super-imposed discs spaced by a distance of the same order as the larger dimension of an at least partially linted cotton seed, the upper disc being fixed and the lower disc being rotary. Seeds are fed through a central opening in the upper disc and subject to friction between the discs as they migrate outwardly to the periphery where they are discharged and the lint removed is expelled from the device by an exhaustor. The lower discs are coated with a relatively rough surfaced rubber-like material and the lower discs are coated with a similar material formed with a plurality of finger-like projections whereby the seeds are subject to coarse friction from the lower disc while their toward migration is controlled by the retaining fingers. The device may have a plurality of such units in series.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 1993Date of Patent: November 8, 1994Inventors: Wladimir P. Gordo, Mario de Souza N. Pitta
