ABSTRACT:
A hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell that uses an electrolysis unit that is sealed and has protection from explosions and corrosion. It has a plate structure that produces maximum efficiency of hydrogen production and can adjust the output to better match the needs of a given engine. The unit has an automatic fill system to keep the electrolyte solution at the proper levels for efficient hydrogen production, and the temperature of the electrolysis chamber remains low, thereby reducing the problems of cooling the chamber and the risk of melting the chamber. The device has an extraction chamber that is baffled to prevent backwash of electrolyte solution out of the electrolyte chamber. The device has an explosion preventer that reduces the explosion risk by working the produced gasses through a neutral fluid.
