Embodiment Construction

[0040]Referring now to the drawings and particularly to FIG. 1, a fuel emission device or hydrogen generating system of one suitable embodiment is generally designated 11. The hydrogen generating system 11 generally comprises a housing 13 and a frame 15 for supporting the housing 13. In this embodiment, the hydrogen generating system 11, and in particular the housing 13 and the frame 15, are adapted for mounting on a vehicle 19 (see FIG. 18), such as a diesel tractor of a tractor-trailer combination, and operably connected to an internal combustion engine 21 (see FIG. 18). A power source of the hydrogen generating system 11 may be, for example a 12 volt or a 24 volt source, though the hydrogen generating system 11 may be adapted to multiple voltage sources. This embodiment also includes a reservoir 25 containing maintenance solution 27, as shown in FIG. 5, for facilitating continued operation of the hydrogen generating system 11. The reservoir 25 may, however, be omitted within the ...

Abstract

A hydrogen generating system includes a housing defining an interior chamber, an electrolyte solution contained within the interior chamber of the housing, and an electrode plate assembly disposed in the interior chamber of the housing and at least in part submerged in the electrolyte solution. The electrode plate assembly comprises a cathode plate, an anode plate separate from the cathode plate and disposed in spaced relationship therewith, and at least one neutral plate separate from both the anode plate and the cathode plate and disposed therebetween in spaced relationship with the anode plate and the cathode plate.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 115,463 filed on Nov. 17, 2008 and No. 61 / 117,481 filed on Nov. 24, 2008, respectively, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]The use of hydrogen and oxygen gas to supplement the conventional fuel in an internal combustion engine in order to increase the efficiency of the engine is known. For example, electrolytic hydrogen generating systems are known to produce hydrogen and oxygen gases for use as fuel additives. However, a satisfactory hydrogen generating system that efficiently uses the power supplied to the system and generates a sufficient supply of gases at acceptable temperatures does not yet exist.BRIEF DESCRIPTION[0003]In one aspect, a hydrogen generating system comprises a housing defining an interior chamber, an electrolyte solution contained within the interior chamber of the housing, and an electrod...
