Hydrogen-oxygen bubble steam boiler

A system configured to produce steam on reaction of oxygen and hydrogen, the system comprising:

• a boiler vessel at least partially filled with water to a water level;
• an oxygen input comprising oxygen gas;
• a hydrogen input comprising hydrogen gas;
• a gas meter in fluid communication with the oxygen input and the hydrogen input, the gas meter comprising an oxygen valving and a hydrogen valving;
• and
• an igniter tube comprising a first electrode and a second electrode positioned within the igniter tube and angled relative to the igniter tube, the first electrode and the second electrode positioned below the water level;
• wherein the first electrode and the second electrode are positioned within the igniter tube at a distance to encourage mixing of oxygen gas and hydrogen gas within the igniter tube;
• wherein, when a pressure sensor positioned to be in fluid communication with the boiler vessel indicates that pressure within the boiler vessel is below an operational pressure, the gas meter intermittently provides a metered amount of a reactant gas to the igniter tube, the reactant gas comprising a mixture of the oxygen gas and the hydrogen gas;
• wherein, when the reactant gas displaces water surrounding the electrodes in the igniter tube and sufficiently dries the electrodes, the electrodes automatically arc and ignite the reactant gas;
• wherein, when the pressure sensor indicates that the pressure within the boiler vessel exceeds the operational pressure, the gas meter closes the oxygen valving and the hydrogen valving;
• and
• wherein ignition of the metered amount of the reactant gas generates thermal energy to boil at least a portion of the water to produce steam.
