The invention solves the problem of separation of a mixture of gases with varied molecular weights. According to the invention, the separation of a gas mixture consists in that a mixture of gases with varied molecular weights in fed into the inside of the device through slots in the inlet conduit, said slots disposed near capillary tubes having negative potential, whereas the outlet channels for the heavier molecular weight gases and those for the lower molecular weight gases are separated with a shutter with holes, said shutter being cyclically closed and opened for a period of time from 0.02 to 1.5 second. A centrifuge for the separation of gases has a cylindrical chamber, a capillary-and-blade electrode with negative potential located in the axis of the chamber and embedded on a conduit that feeds the gas mixture to the separator, an annular electrode being on the positive potential of the power source and grounded, located on the centrifuge perimeter, and is provided with two magnets, permanent or electromagnets. The electrode has capillary tubes connected to tubes and to the negative terminal of the power source. At the outlet of the electrode with the heavier gas holes is a first sliding shutter with holes and at the inlet of the light gas discharge pipeline is a baffle with holes and a second sliding shutter with holes, the first and the second shutter and being connected via a sliding mechanism to a controller.
A method for the separation of a gas mixture of different molecular weights using an electrodynamic force causing a spinning movement of ions or charge-carriers in a cylindrical space by generating a radial electric field between a capillary-and-blade electrode located in the axis of a cylindrical chamber and an annular electrode located on the perimeter of the chamber and at the same time generating a magnetic field whose force lines are perpendicular to the lines of the electric field, characterized in that a mixture of gases having varied molecular weights is introduced into the centrifuge chamber through slots in the inlet conduit, said slots being located near capillary tubes connected to an electrode having negative voltage, and there is generated a corona current between that electrode and the positive annular electrode on the perimeter of the chamber, and that current together with the magnetic field causes a spinning of the gas mixture introduced into the chamber, whereas the outlet channels, one for the heavy molecular weight gas and the other for the light molecular weight gas are baffled with a shutter which opens cyclically for a time period of 0.02 to 0.2 second and closes for a time period from 0.05 to 1.5 second.
A centrifuge for the separation of gases, a magnetodynamic centrifuge, having a cylindrical chamber, an electrode with negative potential located in the axis of the chamber and a positive electrode located on the perimeter, provided with permanent magnets or electromagnets or a solenoid, having in the axis of the chamber an inlet conduit to feed a gas mixture and two outlet channels, characterized in that at the outlet being part of the heavier gas annular electrode there is a first sliding shutter, and at the inlet of the light gas discharge pipeline there is a second sliding shutter, said first and second sliding shutter and being connected via a sliding mechanism to a controller, and in addition, the negative potential electrode located at the end of the conduit is provided with capillary tubes arranged radially on the perimeter of the electrode and connected to tubes located along the conduit, said capillary tubes being connected to the negative terminal of a power source, further, the gas feed conduit has slots located near the capillary tubes.
