Direct High Voltage Water Heater System

A direct high voltage fluid heater system comprising:

• a first housing having a first end and a second end;
• an end plate removably attached to said first end of said housing, said end plate and said first housing defining a first volume;
• a plurality of electrode plates within said first housing and having a plurality of apertures therethrough, each plate spaced a predetermined distance from each other, there being no contact between electrode plates, said plurality of apertures of one electrode plate in longitudinal alignment with said plurality of apertures of an adjacent electrode plate;
• an intake port traversing said end plate;
• an exhaust port at said second end of said first housing;
• an insulator covering the inside surface of said first housing;
• a second housing removably attached to said first housing and forming a second volume therebetween, said second volume filled with an oil;
• a plurality of feedthrough fittings in electrical communication with said plurality of electrode plates, said plurality of feedthrough fittings within said second volume of said second housing;
• a high voltage tether in electrical communication with said plurality of feedthrough fittings;
• and
• a conductive fluid having an ionic content sufficient to facilitate resistive heating, said conductive fluid_flowing through said first volume of said first housing, said conductive fluid in electrical communication with said plurality of electrode plates, and wherein said direct high voltage fluid heater system is feedback controllable to produce a constant output temperature regardless of flow rate of said conductive fluid;
• wherein said direct high voltage fluid heater system is powered exclusively by alternating current;
• and wherein the energy transfer from said alternating current to said conductive fluid is instantaneous and occurs at 100% efficiency without inducing electrolysis;
• and wherein the amount of said energy transfer may be varied electronically.
