CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     This patent application claims the benefit and priority of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/798,658, filed on Mar. 15, 2013, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein. 
    
    
     BACKGROUND 
     1. Field 
     The present disclosure generally relates to hydrogen generators. More specifically, the present invention relates to hydrogen generators as part of an internal combustion engine system. 
     2. Description of the Related Art 
     Hydrogen has long been known as a potential alternative energy source. It is a zero-carbon-emission fuel because when burned, pure hydrogen gas (H 2 ) reacts with oxygen (O 2 ) to form water (H 2 O). 
     Unfortunately, hydrogen gas is extremely light and rises in the atmosphere. Therefore there are few natural sources of hydrogen available on the planet, which means it serves more as an energy carrier than an actual energy source. Hydrogen gas can be manufactured through electrolysis, running electricity through water, or by separating it from methane. The latter method releases carbon emissions. A major barrier to the production of hydrogen through electrolysis is the net energy loss associated with the process. In order to break down water into hydrogen and oxygen, it takes more energy then you retrieve from subsequently burning that hydrogen. 
     Hydrogen gas, once obtained can be utilized in a fuel cell, where it acts as an electrolyte to produce electricity, or can be burned to run a combustion engine. However, as discussed, a problem arises in obtaining hydrogen for such uses. Usually hydrogen for fuel use is obtained directly from hydrocarbons or the expenditure of energy from other sources, such as the burning of hydrocarbons or alternative energy sources. 
     SUMMARY 
     The disclosure uses an internal combustion engine, powered on a mix of a liquid fuel (e.g., natural gas or gasoline) and hydrogen, to produce energy that is converted into electricity using an alternator, which is subsequently used to produce hydrogen. 
     The hydrogen is produced through the use of hydrogen generating cells which breaks down water using electrolysis and output hydrogen. The cell uses anode rods inserted into a tank containing cathode tubes. Additionally, the tank itself also acts as the cathode as the tank is connected to the negative end of a circuit. The tank is in conductive communication with the cathode tubes. A current passes from the anode rods to the cathode through water to produce hydrogen. Hydrogen is off gassed and stored in a reservoir to be used in an internal combustion engine as fuel. The hydrogen is used to aid in the powering of the internal combustion engine. The energy needed to perform electrolysis is garnered from an alternator and a turbine that is part of the system. 
     The system combines a hydrogen generator with an exhaust gas turbine to retrieve energy from the heat of the exhaust gases. The turbine is powered off of heat and exhaust from the internal combustion engine. This heats up water to produce steam, which in turn powers a turbine that produces energy for the hydrogen cells. This energy recovered from the heat of the exhaust is supposed to lead to a net energy gain for the system over a system run purely on an internal combustion engine. 
     Additionally, a power generation system may use the exhaust gases from the internal combustion engine to run a motor. The motor, powered off the flow of exhaust gases may produce an electric current to perform electrolysis on the exhaust gases themselves, thereby producing a fractured exhaust gas that may be re-burned by the engine.

     An exhaust mix including steam and engine exhaust enters the sealing cylinder  2704  through an inlet  2706 , and exits via a front nose  2702 . The sealing cylinder  2704  is welded or otherwise attached to a plate  2710 . The plate  2710  is attached to the backing plate  2732  with bolts  2708  to form a sealed unit area  2744  within the sealing cylinder  2704 . Once sealed, the sealed unit area  2744  is airtight such that the exhaust mix can only enter through the inlet  2706  and exit through the front nose  2702 . 
     A portion of a shaft  2720  is housed within the sealing cylinder  2704 . The shaft  2720  can rotate while within the sealing cylinder  2704 . In  FIG. 27 , three rotating discs  2714  are attached to the shaft  2720  and rotate with the shaft  2720 . The rotating discs  2714  may be evenly spaced apart, as in  FIG. 27 . However, in other implementations, more or less than three rotating discs  2714  may be used, and may be spaced unevenly. 
     The rotating discs  2714  are separated by stationary dividers  2712 . Unlike the rotating discs  2714 , the stationary dividers  2712  do not rotate with the shaft  2720 . The stationary dividers  2712  are affixed to the backing plate  2731  through bolts  2722  and remain stationary. In  FIG. 27 , three evenly spaced stationary dividers  2712  separate the three rotating discs  2714 . In other implementations, any appropriate number of stationary dividers  2712  may be appropriately spaced to separate the rotating discs  2714 . 
     An O-ring  2716 , which may be rubber, is adjacent to the rotating disc  2714  nearest the backing plate  2732 . The O-ring  2716  helps prevent the rotating disc  2714  from shifting or otherwise move in an unintended way. The O-ring  2716  also seals the sealed unit area  2744  to prevent the exhaust mix from escaping through a hole for the shaft  2720 . A seal  2718 , which may be a plastic or rubber material such as Teflon®, is between the O-ring  2716  and the backing plate  2732  to help seal the sealed unit area  2744  while allowing the shaft  2720  to rotate. 
     The shaft  2720  is supported by bearings  2730 . Sleeves  2736 , which may be a plastic or rubber material such as Teflon®, isolate the shaft  2720  from the bearings  2730  to allow the shaft  2720  to freely rotate. The bearings  2730  are held in place by an upper channel  2726  and a lower channel  2728 . The upper channel  2726  and the lower channel  2728  are held together by bolts  2724 , sandwiching the bearings  2730  between the upper channel  2726  and the lower channel  2728 . The upper channel  2726  is attached through bolts  2724 , rather than welded. The use of bolts  2724  allows removal of the upper channel  2726  to access and remove the shaft  2720  when necessary, such as for repairs or cleaning. 
     The lower channel  2728  is connected to the sealed unit area  2744  through a support  2734 . The support  2734 , made of steel, is welded or otherwise permanently attached to the bottom of the lower channel  2728  and the backing plate  2732 . 
     A support  2746 , made of steel, connects the lower channel  2728  to a motor  2738 . The shaft  2720  is mechanically coupled to the motor  2738 . The motor  2738  is electrically coupled to the shaft  2720  through a wire  2740 , and connected to a ground, such as the upper channel  2726 , through a ground wire  2742 . The motor  2738  may be a permanent magnet motor such as a small DC motor, capable of producing a few amps, such as 3 amps. 
     In accordance with various implementations,  FIG. 28A  illustrates a back view of a power generation system. A backing plate  2832  may correspond to the backing plate  2732  in  FIG. 27  as viewed from the back, i.e. looking from the right side into the left side of  FIG. 27 . A shaft  2820 , which may correspond to the shaft  2720 , has a sleeve  2836 , which may correspond to the sleeve  2736 , and is supported by a bearing  2830 , which may correspond to the bearing  2730 . The bearing  2830  is held in place by an upper channel  2826 , which may correspond to the upper channel  2726 , and a lower channel  2828 , which may correspond to the lower channel  2728 . Outlines of a rotating disc  2814 , which may correspond to the rotating disc  2714 , and a stationary divider  2812 , which may correspond to the stationary divider  2712 , are shown for comparison. The stationary divider  2812  has a larger radius than that of the rotating disc  2814  to more effectively separate the rotating discs  2814 . 
     The lower channel  2828  is welded to a support  2834 , which may correspond to the support  2734 . The support  2834  supports the bearing  2830  and the shaft  2820 , and is attached to the backing plate  2832 . The support  2834  has a semicircular portion directly welded flat against the backing plate  2832 , and connected to another portion perpendicular to the semicircular portion. The support  2834  may be made of angle iron or stainless steel, and may be thicker than the backing plate  2832  for added support. For instance, the backing plate  2832  may be 1/16 of an inch thick whereas the support  2834  may be ⅛ of an inch thick. 
     In accordance with various implementations,  FIG. 28B  presents a side view of  FIG. 28A , with the shaft  2820  removed. The support  2834 , which may be a reinforced steel brace, connects the backing plate  2832  and a lower channel  2828 . The upper channel  2826  is connected to the lower channel  2828  through bolts  2824  to hold the bearings  2830 . The support  2834  is welded or bolted to the backing plate  2832  and the lower channel  2828 . The upper channel  2826  is attached through bolts  2824  such that the upper channel  2826  and the bearings  2830  can be removed when necessary. 
     In accordance with various implementations,  FIG. 29A  presents a stationary divider  2912 , which may correspond to the stationary divider  2712  in  FIG. 27 . The stationary divider  2912  is held stationary by bolts through bolt holes  2956 . The stationary divider  2912  has a shaft hole  2952  at its center, and a cutout  2954  radiating out from the shaft hole  2952 . The stationary divider  2912  can be slid around the shaft  2720  through the cutout  2954 . Once the shaft  2720  is positioned within the shaft hole  2952 , the stationary divider  2912  can be attached to the backing plate  2732  by bolts  2722  extending through the bolt holes  2956 . The shaft hole  2952  has a radius greater than that of the shaft  2720  to allow the shaft  2720  enough room to rotate without interference. 
     In accordance with various implementations,  FIG. 29B  presents a rotating disc  2914 , which may correspond to the rotating disc  2714  in  FIG. 27 . The rotating disc  2914  has several holes  2962  and  2964 , arranged radially around a center of the rotating disc  2914 . A shaft hole  2960 , in the center of the rotating disc  2914 , has a radius similar to that of the shaft  2720  such that the rotating disc  2914  is attached to the shaft  2720 . The rotating disc  2914  rotates, which also rotates the shaft  2720 . The rotating disc  2914  also has a smaller radius than that of the stationary divider  2912 , such that the stationary divider  2912  more effectively divides the space between rotating discs  2914 . 
     In accordance with various implementations,  FIG. 30A  illustrates an exterior front view of a sealed unit area, which may correspond to the sealed unit area  2744  in  FIG. 27 . A plate  3010 , which may correspond to the plate  2710 , has a square shape, with bolts  3008  in each corner. A sealing cylinder  3004 , which may correspond to the sealing cylinder  2704 , is attached to the plate  3010 . The sealing cylinder  3004  has a front nose  3002 , which may correspond to the front nose  2702 , and an inlet  3006 , which may correspond to the inlet  2706 . The front nose  3002  may be about an inch thick. The plate  3010  is sealed to a backing plate  3032  in  FIG. 30B , through bolts  3008  extending through bolt holes  3070 . 
     In accordance with various implementations,  FIG. 30B  illustrates the backing plate  3032 , which may correspond to the backing plates  2732  and  2832 . The backing plate  3032  has a square shape with bolt holes  3070  in each corner, similar to the plate  3010 , for mating and sealing. A stationary divider  3012 , which may correspond to the stationary divider  2712  and  2912 , is also shown. The stationary divider  3012  has a shaft hole  3052  to allow the shaft  2720  to rotate within. The stationary divider  3012  is attached to the backing plate  3032  through bolts  3022 . A radius of the stationary divider  3012  corresponds to a radius of the sealing cylinder  3004 , such that the stationary divider  3012  provides divisions between rotating discs  2714 . 
     In accordance with various implementations,  FIG. 31  depicts a rotating assembly  3100 . The rotating assembly  3100  may correspond to the moving parts of the power generation system  2700  in  FIG. 27 . In other words, the non-bolted or non-welded parts of the power generation system  2700  may comprise the rotating assembly  3100 . The rotating assembly  3100  includes a shaft  3120 , which may correspond to the shaft  2720 , and a rotating disc  3014 , which may correspond to the rotating disc  2714  and the rotating disc  2914 . The rotating discs  3014  rotate together with the shaft  3120 . The rotating assembly  3100  may be cut from a single piece of material, such as steel, or may be separate components welded or otherwise attached together. The rotating assembly  3100  may be placed into the bearings  2730  for operation. 
     Returning to  FIG. 27 , the motor  2738  is powered by rotations of the shaft  2720 . The exhaust mix, which may comprise spent gases and exhaust from the engine as well as steam from the boiler, enters through the inlet  2706 . When sufficient pressure builds, the exhaust mix causes the rotating discs  2714  to spin. The spinning energizes the power generation system  2700 , which acts to convert the exhaust mix into cleaner fuel. Specifically, the rotating shaft  2720  drives the motor  2738 . Once the motor  2738  is running, it provides an electrical charge to the shaft  2720  via the wire  2740 . The charged, spinning shaft  2720  fractures the exhaust mix via electrolysis to produce a hydrogen mix (or mixture or gas) of hydrogen gas, exhaust and steam. The hydrogen mix then exits via the front nose  2702 . The hydrogen mix can be fed into the engine through a butterfly valve connected to the intake manifold of the engine. The hydrogen mix comes into the intake flow and is re-burned by the engine. This re-burning of the exhaust is more fuel efficient. 
     The shaft  2720  may rotate at about 15,000-20,000 rpm to power the motor  2738 . The power generated by the motor  2738  can reduce the load of the generator. The motor  2738  may generate enough electricity to use hydrogen cells. 
     The power generation process may start with supplying hydrogen to the engine. Once the engine is up to speed in heat, the exhaust from the engine may power the motor  2738 . The power generation system  2700  may then produce power to lessen the load on the generators, as well as provide the hydrogen mix for the engine to re-burn. Thus, the power generation system  2700  increases efficiency. The energy recovered from the heat of the exhaust leads to a net energy gain.
