Patent ID: 8852410

Claim:
An apparatus for generating HHO, the apparatus comprising: a. a case, said case having an inside and an outside and defining an interior volume, said case defining an electrode penetration communicating from said outside to said inside of said case; b. a core disposed within said interior volume of said case, said core being configured to generate HHO when a liquid electrolyte is contained within said interior volume, at least a portion of said core is immersed in said liquid electrolyte, and a DC current is passed through said core; c. an electrode, said electrode being disposed within said case penetration and communicating between said outside and said inside of said case, said electrolyte having an electrolyte level when said core is generating HHO, said electrode penetration being located below said electrolyte level; d. a support plate, said support plate being located within said interior volume, said support plate being attached to said electrode and to said core, said support plate supporting said core within said interior volume, said electrode being in electrical communication with said support plate and said support plate being in electrical communication with said core; e. a non-conducting bushing, said non-conductive bushing defining a bushing opening, said electrode being disposed within said bushing opening, said non-conductive bushing being disposed between said support plate and said inside of said case, said case being electrically conductive, said support plate being electrically insulated from said case, said electrode being under tension, said tension clamping said non-conductive bushing between said support plate and said inside of said case, said non-conductive bushing having a configuration, said configuration being selected to prevent escape of electrolyte or HHO through said electrode penetration and to prevent contact between said electrode and said liquid electrolyte when said liquid electrolyte is contained within said case and said core is generating HHO.
