ABSTRACT:
A water decomposition apparatus for producing detonating gas or oxyhydrogen gas comprises a plurality of electrolytic cells formed between a nested plurality of endless laminar electrodes each sealingly abutting at its upper and lower edges against elastomeric insulating layers on the surfaces of rigid plates. Electrolyte circulation through the assembly is permitted by an inlet aperture in one extreme cell, an outlet aperture in the other extreme cell and an aperture in each intermediate electrode adjacent its upper edge. The inlet and outlet apertures are coupled for electrolyte circulation by immersing the assembly in electrolyte or by an extended duct system connecting the apertures. Current is supplied to the extreme inner and outer electrodes from a d.-c. source. Control means may be provided to reduce the magnitude of the current as the gas pressure rises. A plurality of assemblies may be connected electrically in series across the d.-c. supply. When an electrode assembly is to be immersed in electrolyte its outermost electrode is surrounded by an electrically inoperative shielding member sealingly engaging the insulating members.
