Abstract: Electrolyte supply tanks and bubbler tanks for oxyhydrogen gas generation systems are provided which eliminate the introduction of electrolyte and water into the induction systems of internal combustion engines. Both types of tanks are equipped with porous polyethylene gas diffusers which break up incoming gas into microscopic bubbles, thereby facilitating the absorption of electrolyte mist and droplets returning to the electrolyte supply tank and minimizing splashing of incoming gas in bubbler tanks. Air diffusers having an average pore diameter of about 70 μm are installed near the bottom of the electrolyte supply tanks, while air diffusers having an average pore diameter of about 35 μm are installed near the bottom of the bubbler tanks.

Abstract: An electrolysis assembly for providing hydrogen and oxygen gases to the air intake of an internal combustion engine includes an electrolysis unit having a case with at least a pair of opposed, grooved side panels, a grooved floor panel that is unitary with the side panels, and a top panel that is sealed to the side panels. The floor and side panel unit is preferably injection molded from a polymeric engineering thermoplastic. Each groove in the floor panel is aligned with a groove on each side panel, forming a plate receiving slot. Laminar plates made of corrosion resistant metal slip into each slot. When submersed in electrolyte, each pair of adjacent laminar plates forms an electrolytic cell when a voltage differential exists between them. The electrolysis unit incorporates at least one electrolyte supply chamber which maintains electrolyte levels at acceptable levels for an extended period. A hysteresis-type electric float switch constantly monitors the electrolyte level within the electrolyte supply chamber and transfers additional electrolyte to the electrolysis unit from an electrolyte supply tank as needed. Gases produced in the electrolysis unit are bubbled through the electrolyte supply tank before being ducted to the air intake.
