Abstract
A drinking container is disclosed having a hydrogen-generation compartment isolated from a drinking-fluid chamber. Hydrogen gas accumulates until a threshold pressure opens a one-way valve, releasing the gas into the chamber while preventing backflow of liquid. In some embodiments, the gas passes through an intermediate chamber and porous mesh to form fine bubbles for dissolution. Mixing assemblies, magnetic impellers, oxygen vents, and controlled power delivery may be incorporated to enhance infusion efficiency, user control, and system safety.
Claims19
A hydrogen-infusing drinking container comprising:
- a vessel defining a drinking-fluid chamber;
- a hydrogen-generation compartment isolated from the drinking-fluid chamber and including a hydrogen source configured to produce hydrogen gas;
- and
- a pressure-actuated one-way valve fluidly coupling the hydrogen-generation compartment to the drinking-fluid chamber,
- wherein hydrogen gas generated in the hydrogen-generation compartment accumulates until a threshold pressure opens the one-way valve, and upon opening, the one-way valve releases the hydrogen gas into the drinking-fluid chamber while preventing liquid from the drinking-fluid chamber from entering the hydrogen-generation compartment.
A hydrogen-infusing drinking container comprising:
- a vessel defining a drinking-fluid chamber;
- a hydrogen-generation compartment isolated from the drinking-fluid chamber and including a hydrogen source configured to produce hydrogen gas;
- a pressure-actuated one-way valve fluidly coupling the hydrogen-generation compartment to an intermediate chamber positioned downstream of the one-way valve;
- and
- a porous mesh disposed between the intermediate chamber and the drinking-fluid chamber, the porous mesh having pores sized to fragment hydrogen gas passing therethrough into fine bubbles,
- wherein hydrogen gas generated in the hydrogen-generation compartment accumulates until a threshold pressure opens the one-way valve, the released hydrogen gas flows into the intermediate chamber, passes through the porous mesh as fine bubbles, and the fine bubbles enter the drinking-fluid chamber for dissolution into liquid contained therein, while the one-way valve prevents liquid from the drinking-fluid chamber from entering the hydrogen-generation compartment.
A method of infusing hydrogen into a drinking fluid, the method comprising:
- operating a hydrogen source within a hydrogen-generation compartment of a drinking container to generate hydrogen gas;
- accumulating the hydrogen gas within the hydrogen-generation compartment until a threshold pressure is reached;
- opening a pressure-actuated one-way valve to release the accumulated hydrogen gas while preventing liquid from the drinking-fluid chamber from entering the hydrogen-generation compartment;
- and
- directing the released hydrogen gas into the drinking-fluid chamber, wherein the hydrogen gas is introduced as bubbles that dissolve into the drinking fluid.
