Title of Invention: Multifunctional on Demand Portable H20 Hydrogen/Oxygen Separator Generator For Combustion Engines, Cutting Steel and Heating
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE OF THE DRAWINGS AND THE INVENTION
The present invention as shown in FIG. 1 provides a portable hydrogen system, which includes a housing unit (1) that can be secured on a vehicle by mounting bracket and fastening units. Inside the housing unit (1) is the fuel cell (4) and water reservoirs (15) and (16) positioned above the housing unit (1) arranged in such a manner as to supply water to the fuel cell (4) by gravity through the rubber tubes (12) to the water inlets (2). As shown the fuel cell (4) is external of the reservoirs (15) and (16). The water reservoirs (15) and (16) have supporting brackets (17) and fastening units (18).
The water reservoirs (15) and (16) includes a water supply fittings (25) positioned on the underside of the water reservoirs (15) and (16) connected to rubber tubes (12) that are separated with a hydrogen outlet rubber tube (13) and an oxygen outlet rubber tube (14) that is in turn connected to water inlet fittings (2) on the housing unit (1). Water is supplied the housing unit (1) which supplies the water to the fuel cell (4) by the supply means of (15) and (16). The fuel cell (4) lid (28) also includes a hydrogen gas outlet fittings (26) and oxygen gas outlet fitting (27) which are connected to pressure values (11) which are connected to rubber tubes (23) and (24) to gas and water inlet fittings (29) and (30) on the bottom sides of the water reservoirs (15) and (16). The water reservoirs (15) and (16) are completely separate reservoirs connected with moulded holding brackets (31) fastened together. Fuel cell (4) is mounted on a non conductive material (6) and (8) (which can be changed to conductive material) which have threaded conductive connectors (5) and (7) mounted on a non conductive material (6) and (8) which are connected to the cathode (9) and the anode (10). The fuel cells (4) have conductive and non conductive washers that allow specific spacing and direct connection to the threaded conductive connectors (5) and (7) which are ultimately directly connected to the cathode (9) and the anode (10). The fuel cell (4) has a non conductive divider (3) that divides the housing unit (1) into at two sections, a hydrogen section (32) and an oxygen section (33). The divider (3) formed as part of the lid (28) which slides into the alignment grooves cut several millimetres into the inner wall of the housing unit (1), the divider (3) extends to approximately 10mm from the bottom of the housing unit (1). The housing unit (1) includes two inlets on opposite sides of the housing unit (1), one inlet on the hydrogen (32) side and one on the oxygen section (33) side which permits the housing unit (1) to be filled with water. As water is
Page lof 4 delivered into the housing unit (1), housing unit (1) fills evenly on both sides of the divider (3). 2015218446 26 Aug 2015
The fuel cell (4) essentially operates as an electrolyser, which as described above decomposes water into hydrogen and oxygen and is hereinafter is also referred to as fuel cell (4) or Hydro Gen, water fills the fuel cell (4) from the water reservoirs (15) and (16) and when a voltage, connected to positive (10a) and negative (9a) terminals, is transferred to the cathode (9) and the anode (10) to the connectors (5) and (7) which is transferred to the specifically spaced fuel cell (4) stainless steel plates which direct contact to the to the connectors (5) and (7) are controlled with conductive and non conductive washers which also gives the specific spacing of the fuel cell (4) stainless steel plates. Hydrogen and oxygen gases are produced on opposing sides of the fuel cell (4).
The fuel cell (4) is a device that generates hydrogen and oxygen from water through the application of electricity and includes a series of plates through which water flows while low voltage direct current (AC can be used) is applied. Electrolyses split the water into hydrogen and oxygen gases by the passage of electricity, by breaking down compounds into elements or simpler products. The fuel cell (4) stainless steel plates can be altered in number and size in increase or decrease productivity, direct connection to the plates is controlled with the conductive and non conductive washers which use the water as a conductive loop therefore allowing efficient energy usage to charge the other plates.
The electrolyte water, H20, enters the housing unit (1) and then the fuel cell (4) is submersed in the water which is split to form gaseous oxygen and hydrogen on the opposite sides of the fuel cell (4). The gaseous hydrogen and oxygen leaves the fuel cell (4) with H20 through hydrogen gas outlet fittings (26) and oxygen gas outlet fitting (27) entering the water reservoirs (15) and (16) where the hydrogen and oxygen will bubble up through the H20 to the gas outlet fittings (21) which will pass through pressure valves (19) which are designed with three way valves to diverted gas from the top outlet (22) using lever (20) to change the gas direction to a gas hose connections at the top side of the valves (19), which you can then connect gas hoses for cutting steel etc. Pressure valve (19) has a pressure sensor that stops the whole system when a certain pressure is reached when using the gas hose connections at the top side of the valves (19) and also functions as another safety system for the invention. The gap at the bottom of the housing unit (1) and non conductive the divider (3) is to use the water as a conductive loop between the positive and negative charge. For extra safety, gas outlet
Page 2 of 4 hoses have flash arresters fitted approximately 5 meters before the final gas delivery outlets. 2015218446 26 Aug 2015
As shown in FIG 4, a vehicle powered by fuel or diesel engine equipped with the portable hydrogen supplemental FIG 1. Power is supplied to the portable hydrogen through electrical wires to terminals (9a) and (10a) from a vehicle battery (34)/independent turbine connected to the exhaust/solar/alternator. The electrical circuit FIG 4 connects to the portable hydrogen supplemental system FIG 1 and is connected to other engine sensors (35) or (36) and an operator/safety control switch (37). When the engine is running and the safety control switch (37) is on the Hydro Gen FIG 1 will work. The Pulse Width Modulator (38) (PWM) controls the amperage and can be connected to the accelerator to increase and decrease the amperage to the fuel cell (4) which therefore increases and decreases hydrogen productivity whereby the PWM (38) can be set to a maximum and/or minimum amperage to be supplied to fuel cell (4). A remote console (39) is connected to the PWM (38) and attached inside the vehicle whereby the amperage is now controlled inside the vehicle via the remote console (39).
Once power is supplied to the portable hydrogen system FIG 1, hydrogen gas flows thru hydrogen outlet tube (22) connected to hydrogen fitting (19) to an air intake of the vehicle's engine. Oxygen gas flows thru oxygen outlet tube (22) and in the case of fuel engines with oxygen sensors, is vented to the atmosphere. The two gasses can optionally be combined for diesel engine vehicles or other combustion engines without oxygen sensors.
As described above according to the invention as the hydrogen gas and oxygen gas fill their respective upper cavities left empty in water reservoirs (15) and (16), the gas flows out of the upper cavities thru fitting (22), each gas final outlet will have a small reservoir (40) connected before the flash arrestor to capture any water the may have splashed up from water reservoirs (15) and (16) although the water if any at all is minor, small reservoir (40) will prevent the water from entering the tubes to the final gas delivery outlets.
The Lid (28) in FIG 3 has formed holes (41) on the outside diameter of the lid (28) for receiving screws/studs to attach the FIG 2 to the housing unit (1). The lid (28) has a gasket that seals FIG 2 to the housing unit (1) which makes it water/gas tight. Being able to remove FIG 2 allows for servicing of the fuel cell (4) as well as performing repairs, exchanging parts, and the like.
Page 3 of 4
In a fossil fuel powered engine the electrical power used by the Hydrogen system is supplied by the engine alternator or independent turbine or solar. As described above FIG 4 the electrical power is only supplied when the engine is operating and within the pressure sensors (19) parameters. Thus, the load placed on the engine by the Hydrogen system is related to the amount of electrical power drawn from the alternator as measured in amps and controlled with the PWM (38) to suit the size of the engine and alternator (four, six or eight cylinders, etc). 2015218446 26 Aug 2015
While the invention has been described in terms of its preferred embodiments, it should be understood that numerous modifications may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. It is intended that all such modifications fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Title of Invention: Multifunctional on Demand Portable H20 Hydrogen/Oxygen Separator Generator For Combustion Engines, Cutting Steel and Heating
PROBLEM STATEMENT
[0001] The present invention relates to hydrogen generation devices, the present invention relates to a hydrogen system or a hydrogen supplemental system that can be used with combustion engines for increased fuel efficiency and reduced carbon emissions.
[0002] Current vehicles now only uses about 14%-30% of the energy from the fuel put in it to move it down the road the rest is lost in heat and unburnt exhaust fumes etc. The pollution to our environment is to a point where action must be taken now to allow for an environmentally positive future of us and our children and our grand children. This system will give you extra efficiency in your fuel burn resulting in extra kilometres per tank of fuel, efficiency may even get as high 90% total fuel burn efficiency (this is not a guarantee). The system may be used as a substitute for fossil fuels or where the fossil fuels are used to lubricate the valves of the engine.
[0003] I was studying hydrogen bonding which gave me a good understanding of the bonding in H20. I made a huge miscalculation on production using 240 volt using a reasonably large container to collect the hydrogen, this miscalculation ultimately giving me the understanding of the strength of the H20 bond. From my understanding of the miscalculation of production, it gave me extremely precise calculations to work out the most efficient way to separate the hydrogen from the oxygen. It has been a very long time since my first experiments and obviously many many other experiments and tests have happened and been completed since allowing an extremely safe and efficient system, it is in fact much safer than LPG and fossil fuels and completely environmentally friendly as well for that matter.
BACKGROUND ART / PRIOR ART
[0001] There are some devices on the market that create HHO gas, otherwise known as Brown's gas, which could be used as a supplement for internal combustion engines. HHO gas consists of two parts hydrogen to one part oxygen. These devices typically comprise an electrolyser which decomposes water into hydrogen and oxygen. These Electrolysers typically use an electrolyte, most notably KOH, Potassium hydroxide, or caustic soda. A voltage is placed across the device to produce the HHO gas.
Page 1 of 8 [0002] The main problem with these devices is safety and that the energy required producing the hydrogen creates a substantial load on the electrical system of the vehicle. 2015218446 26 Aug 2015 [0003] Also, HHO systems produce the hydrogen and oxygen in a combined gas stream. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are not separated from each other. In the case of modern fossil fuel powered vehicles, this extra oxygen is detected by the vehicle's oxygen sensors which communicate this extra oxygen level to an on-board computer, namely and Electronic Control Unit ECU of the vehicle. When the ECU detects this extra oxygen, it is a signal that the engine is running lean and the ECU adds more fuel to the engine. This also negates most of the fuel efficiency gains. The way the HHO mix is delivered to the air intake is dangerous as it is delivered as a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen which when together is highly combustible, but when moved separately it is safe. These HHO systems are one dimensional (figuratively speaking) and only serve the purpose of supplying a vehicle with a set production of HHO.
[0004] The systems are typically connected into the electrical systems of the vehicles which can cause blown fuses and a host of other problems if not installed properly. Hydrogen is only needed when the vehicle is actually running, not when the ignition is turned on. During the installation, care must be observed to make sure the electrical power is provided to the device only when the engine is running. Otherwise there can be hydrogen accumulation in the air intake. This further complicates the installation of these systems.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a portable and compact, on-demand hydrogen system for producing hydrogen gas and oxygen gas individually which is sent separately to the air intake of combustion engines which at this time the oxygen and hydrogen gas can be merged and injected into the air intake of combustion engines as this is a safer way to get the HHO gas, otherwise known as Brown's gas to the air intake. If it is just hydrogen that is wanted, the Oxygen can be simply vented out and the pure hydrogen alone can be injected into the air intake of combustion engines. The two way valves at the top of the water tanks can divert the gases for other applications. Each section has a safety feature in case in the unlikely event the other fails. The electrical supply is controlled with a Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) which also controls the frequency. The PWM can be adjusted to set amperage or it can be attached to the vehicle accelerator to apply the required current
Page 2 of 8 to the Hydro Gen to create the required production for the vehicles required performance/output. 2015218446 26 Aug 2015 [0002] Hydrogen and oxygen is produced by an electrical cell at low temperatures and pressure from water in a supply tank. The hydrogen gas and oxygen gas is passed back thru the water supply tank for distribution and water preservation. The gases are kept separate by a divider in the Hydro Gen tank. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION: [0001] Hydrogen supplemental system for on-demand hydrogen generation for internal combustion engines, health care, cutting/welding and heating. A portable hydrogen supplemental system for supplying hydrogen gas to an internal combustion engine comprising: an electrolyser generator (Hydro Gen) that separates the water into hydrogen and oxygen gas in response to electrical power (which is a controlled electrical circuit), a water tank positioned above the Hydro Gen to utilise gravity to supply water to the Hydro Gen, a power supply for supplying the electrical power to the Hydro Gen, and an engine sensor for detecting operation of the internal combustion engine wherein a switch supplies the electrical power to the Hydro Gen when the engine sensor detects that the internal combustion engine is in operation. The Hydro Gen when supplied with electrical power then produces the hydrogen gas and the oxygen gas from the water being supplied from the water tanks. The water tanks will supply the water to the Hydro Gen’s inlets positioned in two adjacent places at the bottom sides of the Hydro Gen, which the Hydro Gen will fill with water and produce the Hydrogen and Oxygen in their separate spaces in which will be separately carried back up to their corresponding water tanks with water and will bubble up to the outlets in the water tanks to their required destination. The water tanks will be used as gas collection therefore will never be full and the cavity between the water and the top of the water tank will be use as the gas collection and distribution area. The Hydrogen section and the Oxygen section of the water tank will have two secondary safety features (first safety feature is the system only works when the engine sensors pick up that the engine is in operation) being a pressure relief valve placed at the top of both gas collection cavities of the water tank which will be set at little higher pressure than the other secondary safety feature which is a pressure sensor that will cut of the electricity to the Hydro Gen at a set pressure. The pressure relief valves are comprised of two way valves which have an external connection with each other so when the gas is diverted to another line both valves will divert to the alternative path. The two way valve system is there so
Page 3 of 8 you can connect a hydrogen cutting torch to the system and the pressure sensor is there as a safety feature and to stop the system when the hydrogen cutting torch is not being used when the valves are diverted to the hydrogen cutting torch (this description is not to limit what else this can be used for). 2015218446 26 Aug 2015 [0002] The Hydrogen Generator (Hydro Gen) has a non conductive tank divider that divides the anodes and the cathodes made/formed in proportion with the productivity of the electrolysis process (the inner cavity is spaced in proportion with the productivity of the electrolysis process). The non conductive tank divider in the Hydro Gen is attached to the top of the lid but does not attached to the bottom of the Hydro Gen, yet a gap is left at the bottom and thus the water fills evenly on both sides of the non conductive tank divider. Another secondary safety feature is two more pressure relief valves placed at the top of outlets of the Hydro Gen which will be set at little higher pressure than the pressure relief valves that are placed at the top of both gas collection cavities of the water tank which are set at a little higher pressure than the pressure sensor. Each section has a safety feature in case in the unlikely event the other fails.
[0003] The Hydro Gen is connected to a positive terminal of the power supply and as such applies the positive/anode side of the Hydro Gen. The Hydro Gen is connected to a negative terminal of the power supply and as such applies the negative/cathode side of the Hydro Gen. The Hydro Gen separates the water into oxygen gas which is output on the oxygen side of the Hydro Gen land hydrogen gas which is output on the hydrogen side of the Hydro Gen.
[0004] The electrical supply is controlled with a Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) which also controls the frequency. The PWM can be adjusted to a set ampere or it can be attached to the vehicle accelerator to apply the required current to the Hydro Gen to create the required production for the vehicles required performance/output.
[0005] The Hydro Gen system, further comprising of a mounting bracket which mounts the portable hydrogen supplemental system to a surface of a vehicle which includes the internal combustion engine.
[0006] The Hydro Gen system has the merged yet separate water tanks positioned above the Hydro Gen to utilize gravity.

ADVANTAGES 2015218446 26 Aug 2015 [0001] There is nothing like it in the Australian market place at the moment [0002] This product is revolutionary in the way it is put together along with its multipurpose applications [0003] With its safety features, it is safer than any fuel product on the market today and more efficient [0004] It is environmentally friendly
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE OF THE DRAWINGS AND THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention as shown in FIG. 1 provides a portable hydrogen system, which includes a housing unit 1 that can be secured on a vehicle by mounting bracket and fastening units. Inside the housing unit 1 is the fuel cell 4 and water reservoirs 15 and 16 positioned above the housing unit 1 arranged in such a manner as to supply water to the fuel cell 4 by gravity through the rubber tubes 12 to the water inlets 2. As shown the fuel cell 4 is external of the reservoirs 15 and 16. The water reservoirs 15 and 16 have supporting brackets 17 and fastening units 18.
[0002] The water reservoirs 15 and 16 includes a water supply fittings 25 positioned on the underside of the water reservoirs 15 and 16 connected to rubber tubes 12 that are separated with a hydrogen outlet rubber tube 13 and an oxygen outlet rubber tube 14 that is in turn connected to water inlet fittings 2 on the housing unit 1. Water is supplied the housing unit 1 which supplies the water to the fuel cell 4 by the supply means of 15 and 16. The fuel cell 4 lid 28 also includes a hydrogen gas outlet fittings 26 and oxygen gas outlet fitting 27 which are connected to pressure values 11 which are connected to rubber tubes 23 and 24 to gas and water inlet fittings 29 and 30 on the bottom sides of the water reservoirs 15 and 16. The water reservoirs 15 and 16 are completely separate reservoirs connected with moulded holding brackets 31 fastened together. Fuel cell 4 is mounted on a non conductive material 6 and 8 (which can be changed to conductive material) which have threaded conductive connectors 5 and 7 mounted on a non conductive material 6 and 8 which are connected to the cathode 9 and the anode 10. The fuel cells 4 have conductive and non conductive washers that allow specific spacing and direct connection to the threaded conductive connectors 5 and 7 which are ultimately directly connected to the cathode 9 and the anode 10. The fuel cell 4 has a non conductive divider 3 that
Page 5 of 8 divides the housing unit 1 into at two sections, a hydrogen section 32 and an oxygen section 33. The divider 3 formed as part of the lid 28 which slides into the alignment grooves cut several millimetres into the inner wall of the housing unit 1, the divider 3 extends to approximately 20mm from the bottom of the housing unit 1. The housing unit 1 includes two inlets on opposite sides of the housing unit 1, one inlet on the hydrogen 32 side and one on the oxygen section 33 side which permits the housing unit 1 to be filled with water. As water is delivered into the housing unit 1, housing unit 1 fills evenly on both sides of the divider 3. 2015218446 26 Aug 2015 [0003] The fuel cell 4 essentially operates as an electrolyser, which as described above decomposes water into hydrogen and oxygen and is hereinafter is also referred to as fuel cell 4 or Hydro Gen, water fills the fuel cell 4 from the water reservoirs 15 and 16 and when a voltage, connected to positive 10a and negative 9a terminals, is transferred to the cathode 9 and the anode 10 to the connectors 5 and 7 which is transferred to the specifically spaced fuel cell 4 stainless steel plates which direct contact to the to the connectors 5 and 7 are controlled with conductive and non conductive washers which also gives the specific spacing of the fuel cell 4 stainless steel plates. Hydrogen and oxygen gases are produced on opposing sides of the fuel cell 4.
[0004] The fuel cell 4 is a device that generates hydrogen and oxygen from water through the application of electricity and includes a series of plates through which water flows while low voltage direct current (AC can be used) is applied. Electrolyses split the water into hydrogen and oxygen gases by the passage of electricity, by breaking down compounds into elements or simpler products. The fuel cell 4 stainless steel plates can be altered in number and size in increase or decrease productivity, direct connection to the plates is controlled with the conductive and non conductive washers which use the water as a conductive loop therefore allowing efficient energy usage to charge the other plates.
[0005] The electrolyte water, H20, enters the housing unit 1 and then the fuel cell 4 is submersed in the water which is split to form gaseous oxygen and hydrogen on the opposite sides of the fuel cell 4. The gaseous hydrogen and oxygen leaves the fuel cell 4 with H20 through hydrogen gas outlet fittings 26 and oxygen gas outlet fitting 27 entering the water reservoirs 15 and 16 where the hydrogen and oxygen will bubble up through the H20 to the gas outlet fittings 21 which will pass through pressure valves 19 which are designed with three way valves to diverted gas from the top outlet 22 using lever 20 to change the gas direction to a gas hose connections at the top side of the valves 19, which
Page 6 of 8 you can then connect gas hoses for cutting steel etc. Pressure valve 19 has a pressure sensor that stops the whole system when a certain pressure is reached when using the gas hose connections at the top side of the valves 19 and also functions as another safety system for the invention. The gap at the bottom of the housing unit 1 and non conductive the divider 3 is to use the water as a conductive loop between the positive and negative charge. For extra safety, gas outlet hoses have flash arresters fitted approximately 5 meters before the final gas delivery outlets. 2015218446 26 Aug 2015 [0006] As shown in FIG 4, a vehicle powered by fuel or diesel engine equipped with the portable hydrogen supplemental FIG 1. Power is supplied to the portable hydrogen through electrical wires to terminals 9a and 10a from a vehicle battery 34/independent turbine connected to the exhaust/solar/alternator. The electrical circuit FIG 4 connects to the portable hydrogen supplemental system FIG 1 and is connected to other engine sensors 35 or 36 and an operator/safety control switch 37. When the engine is running and the safety control switch 37 is on the Hydro Gen FIG 1 will work. The Pulse Width Modulator 38 (PWM) controls the amperage and can be connected to the accelerator to increase and decrease the amperage to the fuel cell 4 which therefore increases and decreases hydrogen productivity whereby the PWM 38 can be set to a maximum and/or minimum amperage to be supplied to fuel cell 4. A remote console 39 is connected to the PWM 38 and attached inside the vehicle whereby the amperage is now controlled inside the vehicle via the remote console 39.
[0007] Once power is supplied to the portable hydrogen system FIG 1, hydrogen gas flows thru hydrogen outlet tube 22 connected to hydrogen fitting 19 to an air intake of the vehicle's engine. Oxygen gas flows thru oxygen outlet tube 22 and in the case of fuel engines with oxygen sensors, is vented to the atmosphere. The two gasses can optionally be combined for diesel engine vehicles or other combustion engines without oxygen sensors.
[0008] As described above according to the invention as the hydrogen gas and oxygen gas fill their respective upper cavities left empty in water reservoirs 15 and 16, the gas flows out of the upper cavities thru fitting 22, each gas final outlet will have a small reservoir 40 connected before the flash arrestor to capture any water the may have splashed up from water reservoirs 15 and 16 although the water if any at all is minor, small reservoir 40 will prevent the water from entering the tubes to the final gas delivery outlets.
Page 7 of 8 [0009] The Lid 28 in FIG 3 has formed holes 41 on the outside diameter of the lid 28 for receiving screws/studs to attach the FIG 2 to the housing unit 1. The lid 28 has a gasket that seals FIG 2 to the housing unit 1 which makes it water/gas tight. Being able to remove FIG 2 allows for servicing of the fuel cell 4 as well as performing repairs, exchanging parts, and the like. 2015218446 26 Aug 2015 [00010] In a fossil fuel powered engine the electrical power used by the Hydrogen system is supplied by the engine alternator or independent turbine or solar. As described above FIG 4 the electrical power is only supplied when the engine is operating and within the pressure sensors 19 parameters. Thus, the load placed on the engine by the Hydrogen system is related to the amount of electrical power drawn from the alternator as measured in amps and controlled with the PWM 38 to suit the size of the engine and alternator (four, six or eight cylinders, etc).
[00011] While the invention has been described in terms of its preferred embodiments, it should be understood that numerous modifications may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. It is intended that all such modifications fall within the scope of the appended claims.
