Patent ID: 7785450

Claim:
A generator having a stack of electrochemical cells for producing carbon dioxide and hydrogen from an organic carboxylated acid solution comprising: at least two individual electrochemical cells; there would be a left end first electrochemical cell and a right end second electrochemical cell; said first and second electrochemical cells being spaced from each other to form a stack having a left end and a right end; said first electrochemical cell comprising a first central ionic conductor member having a left outer surface and a right outer surface; a first left side electrode is pressed against said left outer surface and a first right side electrode is pressed against said right outer surface; said first electrochemical cell being located at said left end of said stack; said second electrochemical cell comprising a second central ionic conductor member having a left outer surface and a right outer surface; a second left side electrode is pressed against said left outer surface and a second right side electrode is pressed against said right outer surface; said second electrochemical cell being located at said right end of said stack; a first current collector means is connected to said first left side electrode and it would have a 1 st electrical terminal; a second current collector means is connected to said first right side electrode and it would have a 2 nd electrical terminal; a third current collector means is connected to said second left side electrode and it would have a 3 rd electrical terminal; said second and third current collectors means being electrically connected to each other in series; a fourth current collector means is connected to said second right side electrode and it would have a 4 th electrical terminal; an electrical power source is electrically connected between said 1 st electrical terminal and said 4 th electrical terminal; a primary container having a reservoir chamber; and an aqueous solution is located in said reservoir chamber; and said stack of electrochemical cells is located in said reservoir chamber.
