Embodiment approach I

[0109] One embodiment of a self-contained, self-propelled electrolysis device is shown in cross-section at Figure 4 middle. The duck-shaped electrolysis device 10 has a buoyant body 12 formed in the shape of a duck. The body has a substantially continuous outer surface 13 and a hollow interior 14 . The body is molded from rubberized PVC plastic. Inside the main body, an electric drive motor 44 (Model RE260, LMP Inc., Jersey City, N.J.) mounted to the base 16 drives a pump 40 having an impeller 41 (Model IMPELR-S, Swampworks Mfg., Springfield, MO) . The pump inlet 42 is positioned directly opposite the inlet aperture 17 in the body base 16 to provide fluid communication between the water reservoir 100 and the pump inlet 42 . The pump perimeter outside the pump inlet is sealed to the base 16 with a waterproof adhesive 70 to prevent any leakage of reservoir water into the body of the device. The discharge 43 of the pump is connected to the inlet 25 of the electrolysis cell ...

Embodiment approach II

[0119] An embodiment of a self-powered self-contained electrolyzer with close-packed gaps between electrodes is shown in partial cross-section in Figure 5 middle. Figure 5 Shown is an electrolysis unit 10 having a self-contained body 12 made in the shape of a boat. The main body is made of PVC plastic. What is installed on the outside of the base 16 of the self-contained main body is image 3 An electrolysis device 20 of the type shown (with image 3 A cross-section taken at line 5-5 is shown in the Figure 5 Middle), which has a planar anode plate 21 and an opposite planar cathode plate 22. The anode plate was made of titanium with a ruthenium oxide coating (0.4 microns thick) and measured 7.2 cm long and 2.7 cm wide. The cathode plate was made of stainless steel (1.45 mm thick) with the same length and width dimensions as the anode. The cathode plate has a fixed spacing of 0.40mm between the two electrodes. A power supply 50 consisting of two "AA" alkaline cells (1....

Abstract

A self-powered self-contained electrolysis device, for placement into a reservoir of a contaminated electrolytic solution, such as water, containing halide ion, such as chloride ion, to electrolyze the water, thereby disinfecting or sterilizing the contaminated reservoir of water. Contaminated reservoirs of water can be water containers filled with river water and other outdoor sources, or can be contaminated municipal water held in kitchen containers, cooling systems, water tanks, cisterns, etc. The self-contained body allows the electrolysis device to float on or remain self-contained in the reservoir water. Preferred devices are small and portable, and comprise reliably productive electrolysis cells that are powered by batteries. A means for propulsion of the device can also be provided, and is preferably a pump that pumps the water through the electrolysis cell.

Description

field of invention [0001] The invention relates to an electrolysis device with an electrolysis cell for treating water or other electrolyte solution reservoirs. Background of the invention [0002] People all over the world use water every day for drinking, cooking, bathing, cleaning and other personal uses. In many countries, municipal water treatment makes water sources relatively safe for drinking or body contact. Such municipal treatments typically treat the water with chemicals, such as chlorine or ozone, to destroy harmful microorganisms in the water. However, these supplies are not completely effective in killing all bacteria and other pathogens and may become contaminated with bacteria and other pathogens due to improper handling practices. In many cases, these contaminants must be removed or neutralized before the water can be used. For example, highly pure water is required in many medical applications and in the manufacture of certain electronic components. An...
