Title: A device and variants for electroylsts
Inventor: JOHN JACKSON
IPC: H02K31/00
Filed: 2018-03-28
Abstract: A device and variants which can perform electrolysis within a tank or vessel T, utilising the operational theory of the homopolar generator, that an electrical conductor bisecting a line of magnetic flux will generate a potential difference within the electrical conductor. A magnet or electromagnet source SHE can be sealed from the ingress of the electrolyte and can be in the same tank as a conductor. When energised the magnet or electromagnet will produce lines of magnetic flux, which will travel through the electrolyte by rotating a conductor, or moving a liquid conductor through the lines of magnetic flux. A non-rotating electrode SE in the same electrolyte and subjected to the same lines of magnetic flux will not bisect the lines of the magnetic flux and therefor will not generate a potential difference. An electrical circuit can be made, whereby by an electrical current can be passed between negative and positive electrodes through an electrolyte.
