Abstract:
1. A method for producing one or more forms of one or more of hydrogen, oxygen and electricity, the method comprising the steps of: A. providing a device with a contained environment comprised of a plurality of chambers zones, within which many of the process steps and reactions will be performed, wherein external vacuum pumps are applied to the device to produce a partial vacuum within the plurality of chambers or zones, B. in an atmosphere comprising at least one dilution gas, combining water and sulfur trioxide to produce a mixture of sulfuric acid, sulfur trioxide and water in a highly energized gaseous or mist form, C. in the atmosphere comprising at least one dilution gas, subjecting the highly energized gaseous or mist form of Step B, comprising sulfuric acid, sulfur trioxide and water to energy input from one or a plurality of electrical sparks, electromagnetic pulses, or one or more light or laser energy inputs to produce a mixture comprising energized sulfuric acid, sulfur trioxide, water and an energized ion mixture comprising oxygen ions, sulfur ions and hydrogen ions, D. exposing the mixture produced in Step C comprising energized sulfuric acid, sulfur trioxide, water and energized ion mixture to at least one of a plurality of electromagnetic fields sufficiently strong enough to effectively ionize the sulfuric acid and ion mixture into a mixture comprising primarily hydrogen ions and sulfate ions, E. separating the hydrogen ions and sulfate ions from the mixture comprising the primarily hydrogen ions and sulfate ions of Step D by applying one or more of electromagnetic fields, electrostatically charged surfaces and heat absorption through the application of one or more of the group consisting of cooling coils, cooling jackets and cooling beads, to produce separated hydrogen ions and separated de-energized sulfate ions, F. sequestering the separated hydrogen ions of Step E through at least one membrane separating a cooling/separation chamber and a hydrogen collection chamber which are two of the plurality of chambers or zones in Step A., G. sequestering the separated, de-energized sulfate ions of Step E into at least one of a plurality of sulfate input tubes which are in structural communication with the one or more of the plurality of chambers or zones of Step A such that the separated, de-energized sulfate ions are avaliable for use elsewhere, H. transporting de-energized sulfate ions from Step G to provide a further source of sulfur and oxygen species for recycling within the device, I. combining de-energized sulfate ions with water to produce a mixture of sulfate ions, water and sulfate-water ice crystals, J. in the atmosphere comprising at least one dilution gas, subjecting the mixture of sulfate ions, water and sulfate-water ice crystals of Step l to energy input from one or a plurality of electrical sparks, electromagnetic pulses, or one or more light or laser energy inputs of Step C to produce a mixture comprising sulfur trioxide, energized sulfuric acid, water and energized ion mixture comprising oxygen ions, sulfur ions and hydrogen ions, K. recycling the mixture of Step J comprising sulfur trioxide, energized sulfuric acid, water, oxygen ions and energized ion mixture, in Step D, L. sequestering the oxygen ions from Step J via at least one positive electrode to produce molecular oxygen and electrons, M. providing the electrons of Step L to the sequestered hydrogen ions of Step F via at least one negative electrode, such that the providing of the electrons to the hydrogen ions via a conductor produces electricity and molecular hydrogen and N. harvesting the molecular oxygen, wherein all steps of
