Abstract
An apparatus configured to generate generating water having nano bubbles of molecular hydrogen on demand. The apparatus is connected to a water supply with a valve and has a pump which supplies pressurized water to a venturi gas liquid mixer that also receives a supply of Hydrogen gas. The mixed hydrogen gas/water steam is provided to a nano bubble generating apparatus that uses cavitation to generate nano bubbles of Hydrogen in the water. The Hydrogen nano bubbles have diameters of less than 200 nm and a concentration of up to 1.2 ppm. Further the concentration remains with 85% of the output concentration for at least 12 hours.
Claims21
An apparatus configured to generate water comprising nano bubbles of molecular hydrogen comprising:
- an input connector which in use is connected to a water source;
- a valve for controlling a flow of water into the apparatus via the input connector;
- a venturi gas-liquid mixer downstream of the valve and configured to receive a flow of pressurised water when the valve is open and a flow of Hydrogen gas from a hydrogen gas source, wherein the gas water mixer apparatus generates a mixed hydrogen gas/water output stream;
- and
- a nano bubble generating apparatus which receives the mixed hydrogen gas/water stream connected to the output of the venturi mixer such that Hydrogen nano bubbles are generated using a cavitation mechanism, wherein the nano bubble generating apparatus is configured to produce an output hydrogen water steam comprising Hydrogen nano bubbles with diameters of less than 200 nm at an output concentration of between 0.8 and 1.2 ppm wherein the concentration remains within 85% of the output concentration for at least 12 hours.
A method for generating water comprising nano bubbles of molecular hydrogen comprising:
- receiving an input flow of water with a pressure of at least one bar;
- receiving an input flow of Hydrogen gas;
- mixing the input flow of water with the input flow of Hydrogen gas in a venturi gas-liquid mixer to generate a mixed hydrogen gas/water output stream;
- generating Hydrogen nano bubbles using a cavitation mechanism in a nano bubble generating apparatus which receives the mixed hydrogen gas/water stream into the nano bubble generating apparatus and producing with the nano bubble generating apparatus an output hydrogen water steam comprising Hydrogen nano bubbles with diameters of less than 200 nm at an output concentration of between 0.8 and 1.2 ppm wherein the concentration remains within 85% of the output concentration for at least 12 hours.
