Description:
RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     This application is a continuation of and claims priority to Kasprzak et al. U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/200,091, which was filed on Sep. 19, 2011, issued on Nov. 17, 2013 as U.S. Pat. No. 8535493, and which is a continuation of U.S. patent application of Ser. No. 61/519,235, which was filed May 19, 2011 and which is a continuation of U.S. patent application PCT/US2012/000062, which was filed Feb. 12, 2012. 
    
    
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Currently, the greenhouse effect and massive pollution around our planet is poisoning the environment, humans and animals. The extraction of oil and gas from Earth is very costly and always risky. The accidents of Valdez, Deep Water Horizon, and the most recent nuclear disaster in Fukoshima speak for themselves. 
     The apparatus of a similar purpose, like: Flessner et al, U.S. Pat. No. 7,273,044 describes a hydrogen fuel system for a combustion engine. The Flessner idea however, is less effective and involved storage of hydrogen in highly pressurized metal tanks, and that detail alone carries additional highly expensive safety features. 
     Another example could be: S. Mayer et al, U.S. Pat. No. 4,936,961. Mayer however had to amplify the electrical current to about 1000 volts, and only then he could retrieve the mixture of hydrogen—oxygen gasses. A High voltage and highly pressurized system of injectors included in his design also involve costly equipment and additional safety features that cannot be omitted. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The presented here application is in-part continuation of Kasprzak et al. U.S. Pat. No. 8,535,493 entitled “Miami Max Hydro” The Ultimate Hydrogen Generator”. The presented here invention relates to systems and methods that are used to retrieve and separate molecules of hydrogen and oxygen from liquid water in a highly efficient manner. More particularly, the presented invention is the ultimately low pressure and On Demand system that is available. 
     “Legacy” uses the method of separating hydrogen and oxygen from liquid water by applying low electrical current. At any time when the objective of higher demand and volume arises, and the production of hydrogen must increase, all we have to do is simply apply higher voltage supply to the system. 
     For example: any vehicle with a combustion engine or appliance (e.g. welder) that is relying on a steady 12-14V DC supply may increase the production of hydrogen , simply by adding 1-3 batteries and tying them together with a series of 48V DC. 
     The presented here “Legacy” the hydrogen-oxygen separator uses a method that provides a fuel that is pollution free, eco-friendly, recyclable, and infinite in supply. 
     “Legacy” hydrogen-oxygen separator works on low pressure system and is pollution free, recyclable, and infinite in supply. It can also be used—on demand—as needed (e.g. driving a vehicle with a combustible engine) 
     The presented here device and its method will significantly reduce the cost involved in the currently used process of producing of hydrogen gas. Precious metals, like Palladium, the use of highly pressurized systems, its sophisticated technology is expensive and not affordable for a small businesses and shops. At the present time, only large chemical plants and the corporations in this industry is the beneficiary in the productions of hydrogen Kasprzak et al, U.S. Pat. No. 8,535,493 “Miami Max Hydro” and presented here “Legacy” are the ultimate solution for—all of the energy starving industries of our planet. The presented here invention could be developed from small portable generators to a large power plants a like. Presented here method of production of hydrogen is the superior in the industry, it is the safest and it is the least expensive technology that may bring relief too many.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION AS DEPICTED IN DRAWINGS 
     With particular reference now in  FIG. 1  there is illustrated detail of assembly of terminal discs “A” and “B”. During assembly it is absolutely crucial to install isolating sleeves  4  on each of circular rods attached to disc “A”. Circular rods  1  are not fixed in the position and can be arranged in any other order depend on the design. Each individual unit can be sized depends on the design. Terminals  2  are treaded rods necessary to transfer electrical current to the cell/generator. Space  3  between terminal A and B could be filled with any waterproof isolating material available. A structure represent by  FIG. 2  is a complete assembly of hydrogen cell/generator. The low voltage, direct current applied to terminals  2  transfers the electrical current to circular rods  1  fastened to disc plates A &amp; B. It does not matter each terminal is positive and each negative. The total number of circular rods in this particular generator/design is (29)—fourteen rods in disc “A” and fifteen rods in a disc “B”. The total number of circular rod is not fixed and can vary, depends on the design. Miami Max Hydro individual cells/generators can be group together and electrically connected in series or parallel. 
     With particular reference now in  FIG. 3  is an illustration of the operable constructed preferred embodiment of the present invention in completed form 
     With particular reference now in  FIG. 4  it is complete illustration in cross section of the most simplified operable constructed preferred embodiment of the present invention. 
     All components with included separator  5  composed of a nonconductive disc  5  and nonconductive sleeves  5  constructed as one unit. 
     With particular reference now in  FIG. 5  is an illustration of optional wiring diagram of 48V DC power supply. This method may increase the production of hydrogen significantly.
