Portable Hydrogen Generator Device With Potential Of Power Generation From Humidity

Abstract

This hydrogen generator utilizes distilled water to provide the needed distilled water, as the water supplied from the air humidity needs no treatment, eliminates the energy production process, and alleviates the device energy requirement. On the other side, within the electrolysis system, the number of oxygen-generating steel plates characterized with the positive pole is lower than those steel plates with negative pole and hence hydrogen gas generation is much more than oxygen gas. As this approach does not generate excess oxygen gas, the electricity consumption of the device is lowered. Such two major pros of the device make less power consumption and hence it may be utilized as a green generator.

Title of Invention : PORTABLE HYDROGEN GENERATOR DEVICE WITH POTENTIAL OF POWER GENERATION FROM HUMIDITY

Technical Field
The technical field of this invention relates to portable power generators with no utilization of fossil fuels.

Background Art
HYDROGEN/OXYGEN GENERATING SYSTEM WITH TEMPERATURE CONTROL published in PCT by WO/2004/019430 application number.

A mixed hydrogen-oxygen fuel generator system uses an electrolytic solution to generate gaseous hydrogen-oxygen fuel through the electrolysis of water. This generator system includes: at least one electrolytic cell with multiple metallic plates used as an internal isolation system in which two of the plates separately connect to both the positive and negative terminal of a DC circuit. These plates are used for the electrolysis of the electrolytic solution in the cell(s) to produce, under pressure, mixed hydrogen-oxygen fuel. The apparatus also includes a cooling system containing a water cooling tank in which there are two zones: one is the electrolytic solution circulation coil and the another is a water circulation zone.

Within this system water electrolysis in an electrolyte solution is used that comprise various metal plates, two of which are connected to the two positive and negative terminals of the DC separately. Ultimately, under pressure electrolysis of water generates hydrogen and oxygen. At the same time, to cooling the system device utilizes a circulating water tank.

In the claimed device, in contrast to the above device, the air humidity is used to supply the water required for electrolysis, and the presence of an operator is not needed. First, the air humidity is provided by the refrigerant system and the supplied water enters the electrolysis device. Its molecules are decayed through positive and negative plates, and hydrogen and oxygen are generated. At the same time, to generate electricity the electrolysis device and the refrigerant

device, the energy generated by the device itself is applied. Indeed, this device accounts for about 30% of its 100% efficiency. It supplies its own power and is about seventy percent of the device’s efficiency. Whereas the device lacks such capability.

Summary of Invention
This hydrogen generator utilizes distilled water to provide the needed distilled water, as the water supplied from the air humidity needs no treatment, eliminates the energy production process, and alleviates the device energy requirement. On the other side, within the electrolysis system, the number of oxygen-generating steel plates characterized with the positive pole is lower than those steel plates with negative pole and hence hydrogen gas generation is much more than oxygen gas. As this approach does not generate excess oxygen gas, the electricity consumption of the device is lowered. Such two major pros of the device make less power consumption and hence it may be utilized as a green generator.

Technical Problem
Traditionally, power generation without the utilization of fossil fuels in portable generators has often encountered many issues. Generators converting hydrogen gas to fuel require huge electricity, whose supply is one of the great issues for a portable and renewable energy-based generator.

A direct electric current and two electrodes are applied while the electrolysis process. The source of direct electric current is connected to the water by two electrodes so that during it water is decomposed to generate hydrogen and oxygen gas in the cathode and the anode respectively. The generated hydrogen gas is twice the oxygen, and both gases are proportional to the total electric charge entering the water. Pure water electrolysis needs energy, and in absence of too much energy, the electrolysis process proceeds too slowly.

As the quality of water applied in the present process influences its power utilization, supplying high-quality water is another issue for a portable generator. The main objective of the present invention is that moderate-quality water is supplied by the device itself and also the rate of hydrogen generated is more than oxygen to alleviate the device energy consumption and improve its productivity.

Solution to Problem
In the present device, firstly the air humidity is up taken using the closed refrigeration cycle with dichlorodifluoromethane gas and is converted into 70% distilled water.

While the dichlorodifluoromethane gas passes through the condenser and filters by the compressor, it is passed through a section tube and injected into the evaporator, which in turn results in the water molecules cooling and absorption of humidity in the air to the evaporator. Having the compressor is turned off, the molecules up taken to the evaporator are transferred into the water storage source while the defrosting process.

As the water generated is based on air moisture, in contrast to utility water, it is light water and is free of deposition or extra salts, and using a water filter in the device is obviated. Obviation of filter makes this approach simpler and alleviates the device energy requirements.

Distilled water is accumulated and stored at device reservoirs and is utilized for electrolysis and generation of hydrogen gas that is the main fuel requirement. So, such a system may generate and accumulate distilled water with a purity of about 70% which is required to generate fuel through the device itself.

Subsequently, the provided water passes the electrolysis device and its molecules are decayed through positive and negative steel plates. Given that the number of the positively polarized oxygenator and negatively polarized hydrogen generator steel plates account for 15% and 85% of the total plates respectively, the hydrogen gas is separated faster than the oxygen gas. Since the rate of hydrogen gas generation increases, the efficiency of the generator will also be improved.

To be entered into the generator hydrogen gas gets into the combustion engine cylinder inlet and is combined with air through a mixer and injected into the engine combustion chamber. Once the spark plug is ignited, within the combustion chamber hydrogen is burned off, leading to the explosion that

triggers the piston, and so the engine. The generator is connected to the crankshaft, the combustion engine is rotated and power is generated.

The power produced in such a process is about thrice the power utilized in the device. This implies that in case the device operates continuously, it utilizes a third of the energy generated for its operation, and two-thirds of it can be utilized as the device output.

Through turning air moisture into power without using fossil fuels, such generator may operate continuously in the worst weather conditions obviating water and manpower or any kind of flammable materials and produce free power.

The need for a water filter is obviated
Fewer power requirements than compared models
It does not cause pollution
There is no need for manpower

Description of Embodiments
All components of the device are embedded in the chassis (1). Freon gas gets through the condenser and filter using compressor (2), gets into the expansion tube (16), and is entered into the evaporator (3), which results in water molecules cooling and adsorption. Once the compressor is turned off, the molecules up taken to the evaporator are directed into a sloping water reservoir (4).

When it is required, once commanding the solenoid valve (5), distilled water gets into the dual-purposes reservoir (15). On the one side, this reservoir enters the water needed for the electrolysis device (6), in that water molecules are decayed through positive and negative steel plates. As the gas generated is still combined with water, it is backed to the dual-purpose reservoir such that the gases are segregated from the water and may be utilized. The gases go to the mixer from the upper part of the dual-purpose reservoir.

Hydrogen gas is combined with air through a mixer (7) and inserted into the engine combustion chamber (8). Once the spark plug is turned on, hydrogen is decomposed within the combustion chamber, leading to an explosion that triggers the piston, and hence the engine. The generator (9) is connected to the crankshaft, the combustion engine is rotated and electricity is produced.

The produced electricity is accumulated in the battery (10) for later uses. This storage approach may be modified given to the user’s requirements. There is an electronic board (11) to manage various components on the device’s top floor. The main function of this board is to manage and command the components to turning into air moisture to water and the electrolysis device and generator. In turning air humidity to water, the command of the solenoid valve and water detection sensor is performed by this board. Within the electrolysis device, the main functions of this board are to control the electrolysis device and the water detection sensor of the storage and control and hence the refueling of the generator.

Prior to hydrogen gas gets into the device, the gas humidity should be uptaken through the dehumidifier filter (12) to not lead to issues in the combustion process and hurts the engine. A regulator (13) is utilized to control the gas pressure with the engine speed. The higher the engine speed, the more gas is required, and in case the engine speed lowers, the requirement for gas is obviated, which is controlled by the regulator.

The motor shaft rotating energy is transferred through the belt to the dynamo (14) to be accumulated as electricity in the batteries. To lower the heat produced through the electrolysis device and the combustion engine, a fan (17) is installed near the electrolysis device for air circulation.

Figure 4 illustrates the diagram of device power generation.

Once the device is turned on (1 to 2) a potential difference is developed (V2 to V1). When the system (2 to 3) begins to operate, the system circuit current amplifies (l0 to I1). Amplification of the current and strengthen the potential difference (3 to 4) results from the system interactions, and when total power (4 to 5) is generated, part of the power generated by the device is utilized, which results in a decrease in the current (5 to 2) and this cycle continues. Figures of phases 3 to 4 and 5 to 2 are considered as “parabolic” because of the fast oscillations of current and potential difference.
