Goal
Increase the efficiency of electrolysis and other electrolytic processes by using multi-directional currents that reverse direction without swapping supply polarity.
Problem
Low hydrogen production rates and electrode scaling in conventional water electrolysis caused by bubble adhesion and fixed current direction.
Concept Summary
The invention generates multi-directional electrical currents by cyclically reversing the direction of a conventional current applied to one or more electrodes while keeping the supply polarity constant. The resulting EMF pulses cause the current in the medium to reverse direction, producing alternating magnetic fields and mechanical vibrations that shear water molecules and detach gas bubbles, thereby improving electrolysis efficiency and other processes.
Principles
- Cyclic reversal of current direction within electrodes
- EMF pulse propagation
- Magnetic field reversal
- Resonant vibration of electrodes
- Shearing forces on electrolytic bubbles
