    • b. At least set of springs with bolts and nuts to solve leakage problem between cover plate, electrode plate, and insulator plate. This spring will make constant pressure between electrode and insulator plate during operation against thermal expansion.
    • c. Electrolytic tank, gas buffer tank, moisture trap, fire back preventing system, sludge trap, foam trap, gas deliver tube, electrolytic deliver tube and gas recirculation tube were designed as single unit in “d” shape. When electrolytic tank, gas buffer tank and moisture trap were separated from generator it cause lot of problems such as leakage, too many hose sets, hose too long, lot of fitting and production problem. When design system with “d” shape tube can solve all these problems. It can increase gas production, better electrolytic circulation, less heat loss, less electrolytic solution loss, less electrolytic solution volume, minimum hose length, number of hose set, and number of fittings. It can lower chamber filled with said electrolytic solution to a level adequate for the effective functioning to the said system. It is also safer to install fire back preventing in the system as near as possible. The sludge trap was installed under the generator. The sludge inside the bipolar plate will move to sludge trap faster and more volume to store sludge inside the sludge trap. It reduces current loss and heat loss due to short circuit by the sludge.
    • d. At least one means to monitor and control operational conditions. With internal sight glass can help to monitor and control accurately. It also install water fill plug at the top of “d” shape to easy fill up the clean water.
    • e. During gas production process sometimes it creates lot of foam. This foam can corrode the engine components. Foam trap inside the system can reduce engine components damages.
    • f. At least all components, and devices install in alkali and thermal and thermal resist fiber glass box to protect the electrolyse leakage. This will protect the engine and automobile structure corrosion. The box also prevents electrocution.
    • g. The “d” shape container makes better electrolytic solution circulation. It reduces the electrolytic temperature and electric current for electrolytic solution circulation pump and cooling fan. Once the number of electrolyse delivers tube reduce. It helps for better circulation, reduce leakage at fitting connection, and reduce loss of electric current. The more current used the more electrode corrosion. This can see from electrolytic red-brown color with lot of sludge. The corrosion can happen within a few minutes of electrolyzer operation and the electrode will corrode within a few hours. The sludge must drain and change electrode frequently. Once the current reduce it causes the temperature reduce, and also reduce corrosion. Low temperature makes more oxyhydrogen instead of water steam. The efficiency of the system increase dramatically.
    • h. The controller system installed on top of the fiber glass box to reduce the length of wire. This will reduce current losses and noises from controller to the generator. The circuit has current protection device to protect the circuit from improper use. With shorter wire it increases the efficiency of the system. The controller synchronized with the engine RPM to control production rate. The more RPM the most Oxyhydrogen produce. This will save the energy while low RPM. The circuit had current sensor for automatic current adjustment.
    • i. The use of frequency modulator pulse width modulation (FMPWM) instead of amplitude modulator pulse width modulation gives better efficiency, more production, lower electrolysis current, and reduce the volume required for the electrolytic tank. It also allows for quick oxyhydrogen production and there is no need for a gas storage facility. The unique setup can generate gas readily on demand. When the system is not being used there is no oxyhydrogen present therefore resulting in reliable and safe? The operation temperature is 80° C. The system also has the advantage of reducing the water vapor by using new circulation system of electrolytic solution.

This invention has very high efficiency with low production cost. It is very easy to make, to use, to install, durable, to maintenance and low maintenance cost. It requires no radiator and circular electrolytic pump. The controller has very low heat loss and requires no heat sink. Oxyhydrogen will produce on demand as it synchronizes with engine RPM. This controller will detect the signal frequency from alternator without addition extra signal wire to engine RPM detector or ECU. This reduces the risk to damage electrical system. It uses frequency modulate pulse width modulator (FMPWM) instead of amplitude modulator (AM). This circuit had current detector for automatic current control. The on demand Oxyhydrogen generator require no pressured storage tank, circulation electrolytic solution pump and heat exchanger to cool down the system temperature. It is safer to operate system with non pressured tank. Self circulation system with natural cooling system can save lot of energy and environment friendly for those system said before. This system can use just clean water not pure water (distil water) such as bottle water, filter water, reverse osmosis water, rain water, and well water. The system is not suitable for sea water, mineral water, tap water, and waste water. This system has very low corrosion and long electrode life.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

This invention is to develop a continuous non-pressurized water electrolyzer from clean water (not distil water) system use as catalyse for internal and external combustion engine. It can use with many types of fuel such as Ethanol, Methanol, Gasohol, Gasoline, Diesel, Bio Diesel, LPG, CNG, and LNG. This system can reduce fuel consumption, increase fuel efficiency, increase engine torque, reduce emissions, and reduce engine water temperature. This system has less heat loss it required no cooling fan and electrolytic solution circulation pump. Oxyhydrogen will produce on demand as the engine RPM. The controller unit will detect the signal frequency from alternator and use frequency modulation pulse width modulation (FMPWM) instead of amplitude modulation (AM) to control the electrolyzer. This circuit has current detector for automatic current control and over current protection. The on demand oxyhydrogen generator requires non pressured storage tank, electrolytic solution circulation pump and electric cooling fan. It is self circulation with natural cool system. It saves lot of energy and environment friendly for those system said before.

In a preferred embodiment, KOH is used as the electrolyte and the optimum volumetric ratio for the electrolytic solution is KOH:H2O=1:4=0.25

This invention is directed to an improved safer, compact, mobile, and efficient oxyhydrogen generator system use as catalyse for internal and external combustion engine system. It was designed to reduce quantity of containers, tubes, wiring, and fitting. Lot of components and devices except generator were designed in one piece in “d” shape tube. These “d” shape tube consists of Electrolytic tank (1), moisture trap (2), backfire protector (3), sludge trap (4), foam trap (8), water fill up plug (9), gas outlet (15), recycle gas tube (16), gas delivery tube (6), and electrolytic deliver tube (7).

The conventional dry cell type oxyhydrogen generator (5) show in FIGS. 1 and 2 includes a generator body frame work as alkali and thermal resist fiber glass box, cover, right angle, and tray (11, 12, 27, 28). On the cover had the box to install the controller system (25) with aluminum cover functional as heat sink (26).

The series dry cell type generator (5) is situated at the center of “d” shape tube. On both left and right internal side and not extending inward are positive electrode plate (22), negative electrode plate (23), bipolar electrode plate (19), and rubber gasket (21) in contact with electrolytic solution of suitable height. On the left (29) and right (30) side of generator (5) is covered with acrylic plate. Gas outlet (15) is situated at the upper part of the foam trap tube (8) of the electrolytic chamber whereas water fill up plug (9) is situated on top of the moisture trap (2). Moisture trap is situated on top of foam trap tube (8). The gas deliver tube connected to fire back prevention system (3) in the electrolytic chamber. On the other side of the backfire preventing system is connected to recycle gas tube (16) it is connected to the foam trap tube (8). This watertight backfire preventing system (3) is a hollow tube like structure located on the inside of electrolytic chamber.

A gas moisture trap (2) is located on the inside of the electrolytic chamber between water fill up plug (9) and foam trap (8). The foam trap (8) is a hollow tube-like structure located on the inside of electrolytic chamber (1). The moisture trap (2) used cyclone method to separate micro water particle from oxyhydrogen gas. The foam trap (8) is a double hollow tube-like structure located on the top of electrolytic chamber. The outlet of moisture trap (2) connected to gas outlet (15). When fill up the generator with clean water the water will be separated from oxyhydrogen and flow direct to the electrolytic chamber (1) on top of foam trap (8).

Although the above described conventional system produce oxyhydrogen from the electrolysis of water and collect the combined product gases produced in closed electrolytic chamber (1), it is a system with less electricity consumption gives the design of the electrolytic plate (19, 22, 23). Advantage is in the cooling process that is ideal because it uses the effect of natural cooling and circulation of electrolyte without use of electric water pump and electric fan to lower the temperature of the electrolytic solution in electrolytic chamber (1). With natural flow of electrolytic give better system cools down. In actual practice, the operation never stops because of low heat produce from the system.

The controller circuit (24) produces oxyhydrogen on demand as engine rpm. The signal detector (35) will detect signal frequency from alternator (43) which is connected to battery (42). This frequency can detected direct from power wire. The advantage is the circuit requires no addition wiring connect to computer of engine or sensors. At low rpm the rate of oxyhydrogen is low and at high rpm the rate of oxyhydrogen is high. Electric current will vary as engine rpm. On this case could save more energy to produce oxyhydrogen. In the past, water electrolysis used non pulse direct current voltage (DC volt). In this invention the inventor uses frequency modulation instead of amplitude modulation (FMPWM) with direct current voltage (36) produce the designed wave form (44). The controller has current detector (40) for automatic constant current adjuster (37). Once the signal and current was detect it will generate pulse width modulation frequency (36) (FMPWM) and use driver (38) to enlarge signal enough to the electronic power switch (39) to produce oxyhydrogen use as catalyse for internal and external combustion engine system (5) as seen in FIG. 10

FIG. 5-8 illustrate one embodiment of the present novel, mixed oxyhydrogen generation system use as catalyse for internal and external combustion engine system. As seen in FIG. 5, this system mainly consists of the generator assembly which consists of generator (5), electrolytic solution tank (1), moisture trap (2), backfire preventing system (3), sludge trap (4), gas deliver tube (6), electrolytic solution deliver tube (7), foam trap (8), water fill up plug (9), gas outlet (15), a gas recycle tube (16), and clamps (31), insert in to the a generator body alkali and thermal resist fiber glass box (11) act as frame of the generator. FIG. 6 shows alkali and thermal resist fiber glass tray (28) act as support to the engine frame and electrolyse leakage protection, alkali and thermal resist fiber glass cover (12, 25) as cover of the box, controller unit (24), and aluminum heat sink (26) support, alkali and thermal resist fiber glass equal angle (27) act as seal protection and support to the engine frame, control switch (32), cable grant (33), and control wire (34).

After oxyhydrogen produce it will be delivered pass through gas deliver tube (6) pass through backfire preventing system (3) and gas recycle tube (16). The gas will have lot of foamy which will be clean out by the foam trap (8) the gas which still has high moisture will pass through moisture trap (2) to improve quality of gas. After oxyhydrogen pass through moisture trap (2) the oxyhydrogen ready to send to the engine air intake thru gas outlet (15). The foamy and foam will return to electrolytic solution container (1). If the sludge occurs the sludge will go to sludge trap (4). Clean electrolytic solution will return to generator (5) thru electrolytic solution deliver tube (7). The system installed on unit sight glass (10) to examine the level of electrolytic solution more accurate. Just put clean water only when the electrolytic solutions lower than require level. Water can add to the generator by water fill up plug (9) on top of the “d” shape tube. Water will pass thru moisture trap (2) without go to the gas outlet (15). FIG. 7-8 shows front view and side view of the complete system. All components will install in alkali and thermal resist fiber glass box (11). This box can protect the generator from impact, vibration, and leak and also act as support to the engine frame. The bipolar electrode plate (19), positive electrode plate (22), negative electrode plate (23), rubber gasket (21), left acrylic cover plate (29), right acrylic cover plate (30), hold together with bolts, nuts, washers, and constant pressure spring (20). This spring will make constant pressure on top of the electrode plate, rubber gasket and cover plate for all temperature range. The constant pressure spring solve leakage problem between the electrode plate, rubber gasket, and cover plate when the temperature change. In center of alkali and thermal resist fiber glass cover (12) will have controller box (25) installed. This controller box will use aluminum plate (26) as a cover for controller box. This aluminum cover plate has function for controller protection, hold the controller circuit as controller frame, and final for heat sink of the electronic power switch (39). Alkali and thermal resist fiber glass box (11) installed on and thermal resist fiber glass tray (28) act as support to the engine frame and protect the engine structure from electrolytic solution leakage. On top of alkali and thermal resist fiber glass cover will have and alkali thermal resist fiber glass equal angle (27) to seal the entire system. This equal angle will protect the system from open to copy and use as support to the engine frame.

This system requires no electrolytic solution pump to circulate the electrolytic solution in the system. Electrolytic tank (1), moisture trap (2), backfire protecting system (3), sludge trap (4), generator (5), foam trap (8), water fill up plug (9), gas outlet (15), recycle gas tube (16), gas delivery tube (6), electrolytic deliver tube (7), and sight glass (10). When FMPWM electrical current pass thru positive plate (22), and negative plate (23) the oxyhydrogen with some electrolyte will pass thru gas delivery tube (6) and move to backfire protecting system (3) thru gas recycle tube (16). Gas, electrolytic solution, and foamy foam will be separated at foam trap (8). Moisture with gas will separate at moisture trap (2). Gas without moisture will exit and gas outlet (15) to engine air intake. Moisture, electrolytic solution and foamy will return to electrolytic solution container (1). The sludge will go to the bottom of the tube and accumulate at sludge trap (4). Clean electrolytic solution will return back to the generator by electrolytic solution tube deliver (7). This cycle will repeat as long as FMPWM electrical current pass thru positive plate (22) and negative plate (23). The circulation of electrolytic solution make the gas move to clean the inside between bipolar plate (19) and carry the heat from the bipolar plate (19) to the environment without using electrical solution pump.

This controller circuit will function on demand as the rpm of the engine by detect signal from power wire of the system without install extra wiring to engine computer or sensor. This reduces the installation time and fail safe to the engine computer due to installation error. This controller use frequency modulator instead of amplitude modulator (FMPWM) or normal pulse width modulator circuit. The wave form can be change as the melody or rhythm of the input frequency. The wave form show in FIG. 10 (44) and also have current detector for automatic constant current control. The heat sink is very small due to this controller has very low heat loss. It uses the aluminum cover (26) as heat sink, controller support and controller box cover.

Constant pressure spring will keep the constant pressure between the acrylic cover (29, 30), bipolar electrode plate (19), positive and negative electrode plate (22, 23), and rubber gasket (21) due to temperature change. This solve leakage problem due to temperature change during operation.

Sludge trap (4) installed in the bottom of the generator (5). It installs in between of two electrolytic solution tubes (1), and electrolytic solution deliver tube (7). The sludge will go to sludge trap immediately this make the generator clean all the time so it reduce the current leakage between bipolar plate (19) which reduce heat and current of the system.

The backfire protecting system (3) install on top of electrolytic solution tube (1), gas recycle tube (16), and gas deliver tube (6). This system protects the fire back to the system and stops the fire or explosion.

Moisture trap (2) uses to protect water droplet to the engine air intake. It can damage the engine. Moisture trap (2) install under water fill up plug (9) and on the foam trap (8), gas outlet (15), recycle gas tube (16), and electrolytic solution tube (1). Moisture trap (2) uses centrifugal force to separate heavy particle from gas as cyclone trap.

Foam trap (8) used to protect the foamy of electrolytic solution enter to air intake of the engine. This foamy can damage the engine. Foam trap (8) install on electrolytic solution tube (1) and under moisture trap (2), water fill up plug (9), gas outlet (15), and, recycle gas tube (16). Foam trap (8) uses the gravity force to separate the foam from the gas.

All the components install on alkali and thermal resist fiber glass box (11). The box must withstand for high temperature, moisture, corrosion, and thermal. The box used as support of the generator and components. It also uses to protect generator from impact, vibration, and electrolytic solution leak and also act as support to the engine frame. Alkali and thermal resists fiber glass tray (28) use for support to engine frame and protect for electrolytic solution leak. Alkali and thermal resists fiber glass cover (12) with controller box (25) use to install controller as close as possible to the generator. The shorter wire the better efficiency, and reduce noise signal. Alkali and thermal resists equal angle (27) use to protect the system from coping by people and also use as support to the engine frame.

According to the above described structure and operation principles, the present novel invention when compared to the conventional mixed oxyhydrogen catalytic generation system use as catalyse for internal or external combustion engine system possesses the following advantages and improvements.

    • 1. Conventional system use current electrolysis with an electrolytic rod design that consumes large amounts of electricity. The present invention uses positive electrode plate, negative electrode plate, bipolar electrode plate, and rubber gasket design and lower consumption of electricity. This plate design allows for the use of smaller electrolytic solution volume, smaller system volume to generate gas in comparison to that used with the electrolytic rod design. Thus more efficient power consumption achieved.
    • 2. Conventional system use current electrolysis with an electrolytic rod design that has lot of current leak. The present invention use positive electrode plate, negative electrode plate, bipolar electrode plate, and rubber gasket design and high resistance. This plate design allows for the use of minimum electric current. This could lower heat loss due to current losses at the generator.
    • 3. Conventional system use current electrolysis with and electrolytic rod design. The generator connect to other relate components, devices, and equipments separately such as electrolytic solution tank, moisture trap, backfire preventing system, gas deliver tube, electrolytic solution deliver tube, water fill up plug, and gas outlet. In conventional system not install gas recycle tube, sludge trap, and foam trap. It is make the system not compact, not light weight, losses in electrolytic tube due to friction, not mobility, require electrolytic solution circulation pump and high temperature which require cooling fan. The present invention is compact, light weight, mobility, less loss. The “d” shape tube replaces all of the components, devices, and equipments said above. The “d” shape tube solves almost the problems.
    • 4. Conventional system use non pulse direct current electrolysis. That consumes large amounts of electricity. The present invention use frequency modulation instead of amplitude modulation and normal pulse width modulation method. With FMPWM it can vary the wave form inside the pulse signal and also can use frequency from alternator signal detector to vary the pulse width. This controller can lower the power consumption and increase amount of oxyhydrogen.
    • 5. The leak of electrolytic solution at the fitting and tube is almost zero. Once the components such as electrolytic solution container, generator, backfire preventing system, foam trap, moisture trap, and sludge trap install on the same unit. This change the system from having so many tubes to only two short tubes installed on the system. The less quantity of fitting makes the system less leak.
    • 6. Conventional system has very high electrolytic solution temperature. It requires electric solution pump for the system to circulate the solution and deliver to the heat exchanger. It also requires the cooling fan to cool down the system. The present invention uses less electric current so it has less heat loss. Thus more efficient power consumption achieved. It requires no electrolytic solution pump, heat exchanger, radiator, conduit, and cooling fan. It can save lot of electric power.
    • 7. Conventional system has lot of components and devices installed separate. The controller also separate from the system. It requires long power and signal line to the generator. It losses of energy in the power and signal line. The present invention installed the controller system as near as possible to the generator so it reduce losses due to power loss in the power line, loss in signal line, and less noise in the signal line to the generator. The system performs best.
    • 8. Conventional system has large body, heavy, not easy to make, not easy to install, expensive, not durable, not easy to maintenance, not corrosion protect, and not self support. The present invention is more compact, light weight, easy to make, inexpensive, durable, easy to maintenance, less components, corrosion protect, electrocution protect and self support.
    • 9. Conventional system always have electrolytic solution leak due to temperature change at the cover plate, electrode plate, and rubber gasket. This electrolytic solution leak cause the current leak and high temperature. The present invention installed constant pressure spring with bolts and nuts. This spring will make constant pressure on the cover, plate, electrode plate, and rubber gasket when the temperature changes. This can solve electrolytic solution leak 100%.
    • 10. Conventional system always has lot of sludge. The sludge came from high current and electrolytic solution leak. The more sludge the more current leak and lower the generator efficiency. The present invention has less sludge as the system use less current and also installed sludge trap under the generator. This sludge trap can clean the electrolytic solution very effectively.
    • 11. Conventional system has very high plate corrosion. This corrosion happen as high current was used in the system. The more corrosion the more sludge we have. The present invention has less corrosion. The plate has very long life time. It also has less sludge. The less corrosion and sludge the higher efficiency of the system.
    • 12. Conventional system has high electrocution and high electrolytic solution corrosion to the frame. The presentation invention uses alkali and thermal resist fiber glass box as the support of the generator. This box protects the electrolytic solution to corrode the structure. The box also high resistance so it can protect from electrocution. The box also protects the generator from impact, and vibration. This box also use as the support for the generator and also support to the engine frame.
