Collection of Hydrogen Gas (H2) Extracted from Hydrophilic Salt in Water Source by Electrolysis

A hydrophilic salt in water feedstock will be used to produce hydrogen gas (H2) from electrolyzed hydrophilic salt catalyst in water. The saltwater feedstock would be electrolyzed as shown with concentration of hydrogen gas in the saltwater 2H2O+NACL+energy=2H2+O2+NACL and that hydrogen gas can be collected by an unique inductive coil in an enclosed chamber included in the production, extraction, and collection of hydrogen gas (H2) from the dissociated saltwater solution that will be used in today's fuel cell technologies, as a hydrogen fuel additive to hydrocarbon fuels, combustion engines, as well as, other technologies. The proposed process is to be duplicated and utilized in a unique scientifically engineered electrolyzed hydrophilic saltwater device for extraction and collection of a hydrogen gas (H2) production and use.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The number one priority of the World is energy independence and security through innovative technologies that create clean jobs, clean energy, and economic opportunity for growth. The invention prototype has a unique, innovative, proprietary solution to this problem by producing hydrogen (H2) thru electrolysis from salt in water and collecting the extracted hydrogen gas. As you know, ever-increasing population growth and global industrialization continue to create a huge demand for energy. Specifically, today's drilling for fossil fuels is unsustainable and pollutive sources of energy. The invention prototype proposes production of scientifically engineered hydrogen gas (H2) for a viable solution in sustainable nearly emissions-free energy. The largest current demand for fuel includes methods of producing substantial quantities of hydrocarbon fuels which are becoming destructive to the environment, cost prohibitive and unstable drilling, localized billion-dollar refineries, radical market price swings, and must be transported to the location for use to meet customer demand (Keystone Pipeline). To this end, the prototype has proven over 6 years to collect extracted hydrogen from salt catalyst in water, 2H2O+CATALYST+energy=2H2+O2+CATALYST, where the hydrogen gas (H2) can be used satisfying hydrogen engine combustion, a hydrocarbon fuel additive, and evolving PEM (Proton exchange membrane also known as polymer electrolyte membrane) fuel cell demand worldwide. The Department of Energy's molecular hydrogen gas production cost target goal of $4.00 a Kg will be more costly than the $0.30 Kg targeted by this invention. But there is no worldwide technology for safe, efficient collection of hydrogen in-situ from electrolyzed saltwater. Using the cost numbers of $0.00 for free saltwater feed stock with $50 hr. electricity cost will lead to hydrogen (H2) production available for sale at $ 0.30 Kg price. The prototype hydrogen production of 1440 liters/hour is enough to power a 2 kilowatt fuel cell continuously. The patent application is pioneering a successful 6-year prototype operation of hydrogen (H2) gas extraction from electrolyzed salt in water and collected by a novel inductive atomic mass filter. Seawater and Saltwater are a worldwide FREE feedstock materials unregulated, taxed or controlled by any country in the world. Expectations are to make continuing discoveries in hydrogen molecule production, extraction, and collection physics that can work towards solving better energy chemistry allowing for improved environmental conditions all over the world as one of the goals.

The benefit of this unique prototype to the world is future energy independence, a stable energy supply, protection of the world's environment, political stability, and economic security. All know scientific atomic mass filter technologies of the world are constructed as quadrupoles for ion trapping of atomic species. The prototype has a world's first inductive coil immersed in electrolyzed saltwater for operation of a polarized insulated wire wound inductor coil using negative static voltage induction EMF (electric and magnetic fields) and a transverse audio frequency generator signal for a hydrogen gas collection. Expectations to further develop a methodology that can deliver substantial quantities of low-cost renewable hydrogen (H2) gas from clean saltwater, brine, or brackish water. This will greatly add to the strength and financial stability of the world and decrease dependence on hydrocarbon drilling, mining, expensive geopolitical refineries, toxic waste, and environmental disasters in the world's thirst for hydrocarbons. The future of the world will benefit because hydrogen gas, as an energy resource, exists in abundance in H2O and is an underutilized feedstock resource by the world. Verification and certification using a hydrogen production prototype has demonstrated successful generation of hydrogen gas for 6 years successfully. The prototype has been built and tested, the invention envisions a time when scientifically engineered hydrogen (H2) gas fuel will help to reduce greenhouse gases, increase higher quality energy generation and controlling energy cost forever using an infinite renewable energy saltwater feedstock source. Our scientific dissociation technology is focused on actual low cost localized in-situ onsite production of hydrogen (H2) gas energy that can compete but not replace other worldwide energy sources in the marketplace, which will lead to tangible, non-disruptive, and cleaner renewable hydrogen (H2) gas energy products. The process of producing hydrogen (H2) gas from electrolyzed saltwater by a successful prototype has proven over 6 years a safe and cost-effective process for high volume hydrogen extraction and collection where the construction of other production systems can be manufactured by amateur to professional persons.

Object of the Invention

It is the object of the present invention prototype to provide unique improvements in all the above-mentioned areas and to produce, extract, and collect hydrogen gas (H2) from an electrolyzed saltwater feed stock that uniquely outperforms all known hydrogen gas (H2) technologies in the state of the art as it now exists.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The invention prototype is a standalone in-situ “disruptive innovation” for hydrogen gas production meeting the United Nation's mission of ensuring political security, environmental protection, and prosperity for all the World's populations by allowing countries to slowly remove themselves from chaotic geo-political issues related to foreign oil importation. Our unique patent application will allow us to produce hydrogen gas (H2) inexpensively, extract hydrogen from electrolyzed saltwater, and uniquely collect hydrogen efficiently, and in high volumes from electrolyzed saltwater. Hydrogen gas (H2) production capabilities can provide unlimited renewable hydrogen energy helping to preserve the World's populations and environment. Our technology will create a conduit for a new energy paradigm held by, produced by, used by, and controlled by independent Countries of the World.
