  • Publication number: 20090194421
    Abstract: An electrolytic gas composite fuel generation apparatus is disclosed having a mixing tank in which a liquid organic compound, such as an alkane, alcohols or ether, is stored so that a gaseous fossil fuel is continuously mixed with an electrolytic gas that is supplied as bubbles, an electrolytic gas supply device for supplying bubbles of electrolytic gas, and a fossil fuel supply device for supplying gaseous fossil fuel as bubbles. The fuel generation apparatus also includes an electrolytic gas composite fuel discharge device for discharging an electrolytic gas composite fuel that is produced by continuously mixing the electrolytic gas with the gaseous fossil fuel, an elevating portion capable of ascending and descending within the mixing tank, and a controller. The present invention further discloses a method for continuously mixing an electrolytic gas, generated by water electrolysis employing a basic electrolyte, with gaseous fossil fuel, and generating an electrolytic gas composite fuel.

  • Publication number: 20090166191
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for generating a water electrolytic gas, wherein an electrolyte inlet is formed in the bottom of an electrolytic cell for generation of a water electrolytic gas, and an outlet is formed in the top thereof for the extraction of a mixture of an electrolyte and a generated gas. In the electrolytic cell, an anode and a cathode are provided, and an alkali electrolyte spinning and passing portion are arranged between these electrodes. With this arrangement, water electrolysis is performed, and a mixture of the electrolyte and a water electrolytic gas is extracted from the upper end of the electrolytic cell and transferred to a water electrolytic gas/electrolyte separation cell. A gas-liquid separation process extracts only the water electrolytic gas to the exterior, while the electrolyte is returned to the electrolytic cell by an electrolyte circulation device, to continue the performance of the electrolytic reaction.
