摘要:
A method for increasing the amount of hydrogen and oxygen gases produced by an electrolyzer employs centripetal force. A plurality of plates is placed in an electrolyte-filled chamber that allows the plates to be spun, creating centripetal force which separates the gas bubbles from the plate surface faster, freeing up the plate surface for more electrolysis, ultimately producing more gas using the same surface areas. The centripetal force, dislodging the gas bubbles, also keeps the bubbles smaller, allowing the plates to be placed closer together. The smaller bubbles allow for the construction of fuel cells that have a higher plate density per physical footprint. Lastly, the centripetal force causes all the gasses to be collected along a center axis of the chamber where they can be more efficiently and cleanly removed for immediate use. The smaller bubbles along with a unique collection manifold design create cleaner gas.
