ABSTRACT:
A reciprocating motor, comprising: a piston/cylinder assembly, having an input/output port; an electrolytic cell for generating a combustible mixture of hydrogen and oxygen gases, the cell being connected to the input/output port of the piston/cylinder assembly; and, means for igniting the combustible mixture in the cylinder, the piston being first driven outwardly by the force of the exploding gas mixture, and immediately afterward, being pulled back by a vacuum formed when the exploded gas mixture recombines into a trace amount of water, whereby a single charge of the combustible gas mixture achieves a double power stroke. The input/output port is preferably funnel shaped, the larger end being directed into the cylinder, and the smaller end being directed into the electrolytic cell. The electrolytic cell utilizes sets of bipolar electrodes in the form of laminated panels having a wrap-around overlapping border. A free wheeling piston can be utilized to drive a pump. A crank shaft arrangement can be utilized to translate the reciprocating motion into rotary motion. The electrolytic cell is provided with an integral backfire arrestor in the form of mesh material disposed between the electrodes and the outlet of the cell. The trace amounts of water formed by the recombination of the hydrogen and oxygen gases is recycled to the cell through the input/output port.
