Abstract
Apparatus and methods are provided for generating hydrogen gas from water and, in particular, apparatus and methods for dissociating hydrogen and oxygen atoms from water molecules using a rotating magnetic field.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a container for holding water, the water comprising an electrolyte;
- a housing for supporting a plurality of magnets comprising at least a first magnet and a second magnet, wherein at least a portion of the container is disposed within the housing with the first and second magnets disposed on inner side surfaces of the housing such that a magnetic field from the first magnet to the second magnet penetrates said portion of the container;
- means for rotating the housing to rotate the plurality of magnets and cause dissociation of water within the container into hydrogen and oxygen gases due a rotating magnetic field rotating through the water within the container.
A method for generating hydrogen, comprising;
- filling water into a container, the water comprising an electrolyte;
- and
- generating a rotating magnetic field with flux lines rotating through at least a portion of the container to cause dissociation of water within the portion of the container into hydrogen and oxygen gases due to the rotating magnetic field rotating through the water within the container.
