Abstract
This invention relates to a process and an apparatus for generating hydrogen and oxygen gas by electrolysis of water. The process involves forming an electrolyte including alkaline ions and the water and generating plasma between electrodes immersed in the electrolyte by applying an electrical potential between the electrodes. The plasma ionizes the electrolyte, thereby generating hydrogen and oxygen gas. The process further involves controlling the process by relocating the generated plasma between two or more further electrodes.
Claims14
A process for producing hydrogen from water comprising:
- (a) forming an electrolyte including alkaline ions and the water;
- (b) generating plasma between an anode and a cathode immersed in the electrolyte by applying a first electrical potential between the anode and cathode, thereby generating hydrogen and oxygen gas;
- and
- (c) relocating the generated plasma between two or more further electrodes and the anode in order to control a location of the generated plasma.
