Patent ID: 7318885

Claim:
A hydrogen-oxygen gas generator comprising: an electrolytic cell (A); an electrolysis means (B) containing an electrode pair made up of an anode member and a cathode member installed to contact an electrolytic fluid stored within the electrolytic cell and, a power supply to apply a voltage across the anode and the cathode; a vibration-stirring means (C) for stirring and agitating the electrolytic fluid stored in the electrolytic cell and comprising at least one vibration generating means and, a vibration stirring member comprised of at least one vibrating rod linked to the vibration generating means for vibrating within the electrolytic cell and at least one vibrating blade attached to the vibrating rod; or an insulated vibration stirring means (C′) for stirring and agitating the electrolytic fluid stored in the electrolytic cell and comprising at least one vibration generating means and an insulated vibration stirring member comprised of at least one vibrating rod linked to the vibration generating means for vibrating within the electrolytic cell, at least one vibrating blade attached to the vibrating rod and an electrically insulated area formed on a connecting section linking the vibration generating means with the vibrating rod or formed on a section of the vibrating rod nearer to the connecting section than a section of the vibrating rod where the vibrating blade is attached to the vibrating rod; and a gas trapping means (D) for collecting separately or as a mixture, the hydrogen gas and oxygen gas generated by electrolysis of the electrolytic fluid stored within the electrolytic cell by the electrolysis means; wherein the vibration stirring member of the vibration-stirring means (C) or the insulated vibration stirring member of the insulated vibration-stirring means (C′) are installed so as to face at least one surface of the node member and cathode member of the electrolysis means (B), and wherein the gap between at least one of the cathode member or anode member of the electrolysis means (B) and the vibration stirring member of the vibration-stirring means (C) or the insulated vibration stirring member of the insulated vibrating-stirring means (C′) is about 20 to 400 millimeters.
