Abstract:
1. A hydrogen gas generator for jet engines, comprising: a tubular anode defining an inner space and having an inner surface, the anode having a spiral groove defined in the inner surface; a cathode screen filament disposed around the anode and defining a space therebetween, the anode and the cathode being adapted for mounting in a combustion chamber of a jet engine; a pipe extending into the inner space of the tubular anode for delivering pressurized water into the inner space, the pressurized water being converted to steam; a plurality of nozzles in fluid communication with the inner space and the space between the cathode screen filament and the anode, the nozzles being adapted for delivering the steam from the inner space to the space between the cathode screen filament and the anode; and means for supplying sufficient electrical current to the anode to heat pressurized water delivered through the pipe to produce superheated steam.
