Abstract
A method for creating hydrogen gas comprising; providing a first quantity of water to a preparation chamber heating a quantity of the water within a first sealed pressurized chamber, wherein the water enters a gaseous state, directing, the gaseous water into a reaction chamber, initiating a reaction between the water and a quantity of alkali fragments within a reaction chamber to produce hydrogen and an alkali hydroxide, separating the hydrogen gas from the alkali hydroxide, and recovering the hydrogen gas.
Claims17
An apparatus for generating hydrogen gas comprising:
- a preparation chamber having a liquid water inlet, a heating element distal to an interior cavity of the preparation chamber, and a first end of a vapor water outlet;
- a mechanical pump secured to a second end of the vapor water outlet and a first end of a vapor water inlet;
- a disbursement member secured to a second end of the vapor water inlet;
- and
- a reaction chamber having a reaction container positioned distal to the disbursement member, and the reaction container having a byproduct outlet, and a hydrogen exhaust outlet positioned distal to the reaction container.
A method for creating hydrogen gas comprising:
- providing a first quantity of water to a preparation chamber;
- heating a quantity of the water within a first sealed pressurized chamber of the preparation chamber, wherein the first quantity of water transitions into a gaseous state;
- directing, the gaseous water into a reaction chamber;
- initiating a reaction between the water and a quantity of alkali fragments within a second chamber of the reaction chamber to produce hydrogen and an alkali hydroxide;
- separating the hydrogen gas from the alkali hydroxide;
- and
- recovering the hydrogen gas.
A method for creating hydrogen gas comprising:
- providing a first quantity of water liquid to a preparation chamber;
- heating the first quantity of water liquid within the preparation chamber, wherein the water liquid transitions to a gaseous state;
- directing, the gaseous water through an aeration chamber, wherein the gaseous water is deaerated;
- transferring the deaerated gaseous water into a reaction chamber, wherein the deaerated gaseous water transitions to a liquid state;
- distributing a predetermined flow rate of the deaerated water liquid into a container, wherein the container is feed a flow rate of alkali fragments of a predetermined particle size;
- initiating a reaction between the deaerated water liquid and a quantity of alkali fragments within a container, wherein hydrogen gas and an alkali hydroxide are produced;
- separating the hydrogen gas from the reaction chamber;
- and
- processing the alkali hydroxide, wherein a second chemical reaction converts the alkali hydroxide to alkali and water.
