Patent ID: 7475656

Claim:
An apparatus for obtaining mechanical power or torque comprising an internal combustion engine, having a predetermined number of cylinders and a water cooling means; a producing means for production of hydrogen for powering said internal combustion engine and for production of oxygen from water; a hydrogen storage means for storage of said produced hydrogen; a water storage means for storage of said water; an exhaust outlet means for at least partial output of combustion products formed during operation of said internal combustion engine; a control means for actuation, de-actuation, and automatic control of predetermined parameters of at least said water, hydrogen, and oxygen; an electrical energy source for operation of at least said internal combustion engine, said producing means, and said controlling means; said producing means being so configured that at least partially provide decomposition of the water into hydrogen and oxygen ions by subjecting it to predeterminedly high temperatures developed due to and during a combustion process within said internal combustion engine, said producing means comprising: a collector, communicating with said cylinders, and configured to collect said combustion products; a transformer configured to intake water substantially from the water storage means, decompose the water into hydrogen ions and oxygen ions, said transformer substantially enclosed in said collector, the water in the transformer being subjected to thermo-impact caused by said combustion products surrounding the transformer in the collector and having a temperature in a predetermined temperature range; an ion divider, configured to separate positively charged said hydrogen ions and negatively charged said oxygen ions, said divider including two tubular portions joined in the bottom region of the divider, each portion containing an electrical conductive coil, wherein the top end of a first coil connected to a positive pole of said energy source, and the top end of a second coil connected to a negative pole of said energy source, the bottom ends of both coils disposed in the bottom region of the divider, the tubular portion containing the second coil, substantially communicated with the hydrogen storage means; a hydrogen pump configured to pump the hydrogen produced in said divider into the hydrogen storage means, wherein the hydrogen is substantially in a gaseous state under a predetermined pressure; and an oxygen pump configured to pump the oxygen produced in said divider out of the divider.
