Title: Power generator utilizing a heat exchanger and circulated medium from a pulsed electrolysis system and method of using same
Inventor: DAVIDSON NEHEMIA
IPC: F22B33/18
Filed: 2007-12-07
Abstract: A power generating system (100) and a method of operating the same is provided, the system utilizing an electrolytic heating subsystem (103). The electrolytic heating subsystem is a pulsed electrolysis system that heats a heat transfer medium contained within a first conduit (109) in thermal communication with the electrolytic heating subsystem and at least one heat exchanger (105). A second conduit (117) coupled to the at least one heat exchanger contains a working fluid.
