Patent ID: 8100092

Claim:
A hydrogen generation device for use in supplementing hydrogen fuel to an internal combustion engine, the device comprising: a power source; an accumulator in communication with the power source having an internal cavity for the storage of fluid; a hydrogen generator in electrical communication with the power source and in fluid communication with the accumulator, the generator having at least a first and a second electrode positioned in an internal cavity and separated from one another, wherein on supply of power to the electrodes, hydrogen gas is produced and is transferred to the accumulator; and the device further comprising at least one of (a) the generator further comprising a separator having a longitudinal axis and a plurality of longitudinally and radially spaced apertures about the axis, at least one of the first and the second electrodes is helically threaded through selected apertures around the axis, or (b) the accumulator cavity further comprising a hydrogen gas reservoir in communication with the generator and the internal combustion engine and a baffle positioned in the cavity in communication with the fluid to suppress dynamic movement of the fluid in the accumulator cavity.
