Patent ID: 7021249

Claim:
A hydrogen addition to hydrocarbon fuel for an internal combustion engine comprising: a) an internal combustion engine; b) a hydrogen generator for separating and removing hydrogen from a fluid containing hydrogen, said hydrogen generator comprising: i) an electrolyte tank; ii) an electrolytic solution containing hydrogen substantially filling said electrolyte tank so as to leave an air gap at the top portion thereof; iii) means for applying a positive charge and a negative charge in spaced apart relation to one another within said electrolytic solution to initiate the dissociation of diatomic hydrogen molecules therefrom; vi) a partition wall disposed between said positive and negative charging means extending from one side of said electrolyte tank to the other side and from the top to a portion near the bottom thereby dividing said electrolytic solution into a positively charged portion and a negatively charged portion in communication with one another below said partition wall; v) a hydrogen port disposed on the top of said electrolyte tank in communication with said air gap proximal to said negative charging means; and vi) an oxygen vent disposed on the top of said electrolyte tank in communication with said air gap proximal to said positive charging means; c) means for delivering captured hydrogen from said hydrogen generator and hydrocarbon fuel to said engine comprising a venturi mixing tube for delivering hydrogen into a carburetor connected to an intake manifold of said engine and a fuel line for discharging hydrocarbon fuel directly into said venturi mixing tube carrying hydrogen; and d) means for regulating the flow of hydrogen to said engine.
