Cartridge-based, hydrogen on-demand generator

An apparatus for cartridge-based, hydrogen on-demand generation on new and used fossil-fuel-powered vehicles comprising:

• a cartridge for generation of hydrogen as an additive for fossil-fuel-powered systems;
• at least one conductive material member for creating a specified serpentine-shaped, substantially longitudinal hydrodynamically-engineered flow path or paths for electrolyte solution to flow through in which an electrochemical reaction is facilitated;
• a complete enclosure for a hydrogen on-demand cartridge rigidly constructed with at least two walls parallel to and two walls perpendicular to a serpentine-shaped hydrodynamically-engineered electrolyte solution flow path wherein inner walls relative to the hydrogen on-demand cartridge complete enclosure contain at least one enclosure rounded corner to facilitate transfer of gases through the cartridge;
• a conductive material member electrical interface tab integral with and extending outward from conductive material members that define said serpentine-shaped hydrodynamically-engineered electrolyte flow path;
• a conductive material mounting slot for a narrow aperture that serves to support each said conductive material member sealing and separating energy transfer into and out of said cartridge, rigidly connected to said conductive material member electrical interface tab, and structurally embedded to said conductive material member;
• an integrated mounting flange that serves to support and maintain a hydrogen on-demand cartridge as-mounted in an orientation orthogonal to said flow path;
• an integrated mounting hole to support and maintain a hydrogen on-demand cartridge as-mounted in an orientation orthogonal to said flow path;
• an inlet fitting for an attachment to facilitate a means of entry for matter to enter the hydrogen on-demand cartridge in one or more locations transverse to said members and substantially parallel to said serpentine-shaped, substantially longitudinal hydrodynamically-engineered flow path or paths;
• an outlet fitting for an attachment to facilitate a means of exit for matter from said cartridge as-mounted in any orientation, in one or more locations transverse to said members and substantially parallel to said serpentine-shaped, substantially longitudinal hydrodynamically-engineered flow path or paths;
• and
• a fitting hole for a hollow place in the solid surface of said cartridge that serves to support and maintain a fitting connected snugly to said cartridge as-mounted in any orientation, in one or more locations transverse to said members and substantially parallel to said serpentine-shaped, substantially longitudinal hydrodynamically-engineered flow path or paths.

A cartridge-based, hydrogen on-demand generator comprising:

• a readily replaceable hydrogen on-demand cartridge generator to be fitted on combustion- or diesel-powered engines, whereby the cartridge may be mounted in any orientation;
• a conductive material member, for creating a specified path or paths for matter to follow in which an electrochemical reaction is facilitated;
• a complete enclosure, for an artificial or natural sealed-off area to protect and separate parts and processes inside said generator from those outside said generator, rigidly constructed to said cartridge wherein inner walls relative to the hydrogen on-demand cartridge complete enclosure contain at least one enclosure rounded corner to facilitate transfer of gases through the cartridge;
• a conductive material member electrical interface tab, for a projected flat rim or rib which serves to support and maintain the position of each said member to facilitate energy transfer in and out of said cartridge, rigidly connected to said conductive material member;
• a conductive material mounting slot for a narrow aperture that serves to support each said member sealing and separating energy transfer inside and outside said generator, structurally embedded to said member electrical interface tab, orthogonally and structurally embedded to said member;
• an integrated mounting flange that serves to support, and maintain said generator cartridge as-mounted in an orientation either substantially transverse to or substantially parallel to said flow path;
• an integrated mounting hole, for a hollow place in said cartridge to help support, and maintain said position and angle of said cartridge with respect to the center of the cartridge;
• an inlet fitting for an attachment to facilitate a means of entry for matter to enter the hydrogen on-demand cartridge in one or more locations parallel or transverse to said members and substantially transverse or parallel to said flow path or paths;
• an outlet fitting for an attachment to facilitate a means of exit for matter from said cartridge as-mounted in any orientation, in one or more locations transverse to said members and substantially parallel to said flow path or paths;
• and
• a fitting hole for a hollow place in the solid surface of said cartridge that serves to support and maintain a fitting connected snugly to said cartridge as-mounted in any orientation, in one or more locations transverse to said members and substantially parallel to said flow path or paths.
