Patent ID: 8157980

Claim:
An electrolysis system comprising: an electrolysis tank; a plurality of electrolysis cells within said electrolysis tank, each of said plurality of electrolysis cells comprising: a membrane dividing said electrolysis cell into a first region and a second region, wherein said membrane permits ion and electron exchange between said first and second regions, and wherein said membrane restricts hydrogen gas flow and oxygen gas flow between said first and second regions; at least one pair of low voltage electrodes of a first type and comprised of a first material and including at least one anode of said first type and at least one cathode of said first type; and at least one pair of low voltage electrodes of a second type and comprised of a second material and including at least one anode of said second type and at least one cathode of said second type, wherein said first and second materials are different, and wherein in each electrolysis cell of said plurality of electrolysis cells said at least one anode of said first type and said at least one anode of said second type are located within one of said first and second regions and said at least one cathode of said first type and said at least one cathode of said second type are located within another of said first and second regions; at least one pair of high voltage electrodes contained within said electrolysis tank, wherein said at least one pair of high voltage electrodes includes at least one high voltage anode and at least one high voltage cathode, wherein all of said plurality of electrolysis cells are positioned between said at least one high voltage anode and said at least one high voltage cathode; a low voltage source with a first output voltage electrically connected to said at least one pair of low voltage electrodes of said first type of each electrolysis cell and to said at least one pair of low voltage electrodes of said second type of each electrolysis cell; a high voltage source with a second output voltage electrically connected to said at least one pair of high voltage electrodes, wherein said second output voltage is higher than said first output voltage; and means for simultaneously pulsing said low voltage source and said high voltage source at a specific frequency and a specific pulse duration.
