Abstract: Electrolyzer devices (e.g., for Brown's gas production, hydrogen production, other electrolysis processes) including a containment vessel configured to be filled with an electrolyte solution, with a plurality of electrically conductive plates positioned therein. Each plate may be oriented vertically, where two or more of the plates are electrode plates. The electrode plates may extend outside of the containment vessel of the electrolyzer so that electrical connections to the electrode plates can be made outside of the containment vessel of the electrolyzer. No electrical connections are made on a sealed interior of the containment vessel. Each plate may include an insular wrap around the edges of each plate. The insular wrap may include grooves formed into the insular wrap into which the plates are received. Such grooves may negate the need for any gaskets. The insular wrap may include holes for passage of the solution into and out of the cells.

Abstract: An improved steel plate alkali electrolyzer uses an anode steel plate, by-polar steel plates, and a cathode steel plate (the number of bi-polar plated is determined by the voltage applied, the formula explained in Claim). The steel plate edges are wrapped with an insulating material to hold them in precise alignment. This unit is housed in a containment vessel, with the anode and cathode steel plates extending past the outside of the containment vessel to make electrical connections outside of liquid filled vessel. Shape and arrangement of the plates enables the gas production to create a circulating electrolyte (without the use of a pump) that produces a cooler operating and more efficient production of Brown's gas per watt, and less expensive to construction than any other known electrolyzer. Design is scalable allowing for a wide range of gas production and applications.
