Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention is an electrolysis-type hydrogen energy utilization device that uses water or carbonated water or electrolyzed water containing carbon dioxide, and is related to efficiently obtaining energy by using vibrations of a specific frequency. [Background technology]

[0002] Electrolysis is a common method for obtaining hydrogen, but the thermal energy obtained by burning the resulting hydrogen is lower than the electrical energy used in electrolysis, and there has been no efficient way to obtain energy from hydrogen.

[0003] Traditionally, it has been difficult to safely store and transport hydrogen, and the only way to store it as electrical energy has been through storage batteries, but these batteries incur losses during charging and storage, and they use materials such as lead that are environmentally hazardous. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Traditionally, to obtain enough energy for daily life and production activities, underground resources such as oil have been burned or nuclear reactions have been used to obtain energy, but environmental issues have become an issue.

[0005] There are ways to obtain energy from hydrogen, but there are issues such as safety concerns regarding explosions and the large amount of electricity required in the production process.

[0006] The present invention has been made to safely and effectively utilize hydrogen. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The generated hydrogen is converted into nanobubbles and microbubbles, which are dissolved in water and then combined with carbon dioxide to obtain water containing hydrocarbons as energy.

[0008] To provide a safe hydrogen energy utilization device that does not easily explode due to static electricity or the like, in which hydrogen obtained by electrolyzing water or electrolytic water is dissolved in water and efficiently combined with carbon dioxide to produce water containing hydrocarbons.

[0009] To efficiently obtain energy through electrolysis, the system includes one or more oscillators with fins that vibrate electrically in the water and efficiently propagate the energy to the surrounding area. The oscillators generate 35-50 Hz vibrations, converting hydrogen generated at the electrodes by electrolysis into nano- and microbubbles. Carbonated water is then added, and the oscillators generate 100-200 Hz vibrations again, collapsing the hydrogen nano- and microbubbles. The hydrogen atoms generated by the impact combine with carbon dioxide, producing a solution containing hydrocarbons. The present invention is a hydrogen energy utilization device having the above-mentioned configuration. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] The hydrogen energy utilization device of the present invention can safely store and use hydrogen as an energy source. Hydrogen generated by electrolysis while applying vibrations can be stored by dissolving it in a solution such as electrolyzed water in the form of nanobubbles and microbubbles that do not generate buoyancy. Carbonated water (H2CO3) with a carbon dioxide gas pressure of 0.29 MPa or more can be added and vibration frequencies can be applied to bond the resulting hydrogen atoms with carbon, producing energy in the form of hydrocarbons. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0011] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is an image of nanobubbles and microbubbles made of hydrogen molecules and atoms in water or electrolyzed water, and carbon dioxide in carbonated water. [Figure 3] This is a diagram showing that when a vibrator vibrates in water or electrolyzed water, the vibrations are transmitted throughout the water, including the electrodes, causing convection. [Figure 4] FIG. 1 is a top view of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of the overall structure of a hydrogen energy utilization device, seen from the front. Anode and cathode electrodes 6 connected to an external power source are placed inside a semi-spherical resin container 5 that is oil-, chemical-, acid-, and alkali-resistant and holds water or electrolyzed water containing carbonated water. A vibrator 1 connected to an electronic cable 2 is held near the electrodes 6 by rubber 4, which flexibly supports the vibrator.

[0013] The hydrogen gas bubbles that grow on the electrode surface through electrolysis overcome surface tension and viscous resistance, are pulled away from the electrode by buoyancy, and rise to the water surface. The nanobubbles and microbubbles of hydrogen molecules that are less affected by buoyancy in the very early stages of the process of forming hydrogen gas bubbles through electrolysis remain dissolved in the aqueous solution and can be preserved.

[0014] FIG. 2 shows carbonated water 3 placed in a hemispherical resin container 5 that is resistant to oil, chemicals, acids, and alkalis and can hold water, carbonated water, or electrolyzed water containing carbon dioxide.

[0015] The hydrogen molecules generated by electrolysis are separated from the electrodes in an extremely fine state by applying vibrations from an oscillator, which turns them into nano- and micro-bubbles and dissolves them in electrolyzed water. After storing them in the solution in nano- and micro-bubbles form, vibrations are applied to destroy the nano- and micro-bubbles, turning them into molecules containing hydrogen atoms. Carbonated water is then added, which efficiently bonds them with carbon, allowing energy to be obtained as hydrocarbons.

[0016] By adding carbonated water and then vibrating it, hydrogen carbonate can be produced in the solution, allowing for safe storage and transfer of energy.

[0017] Furthermore, by mixing an aqueous solution in which hydrocarbons have been dissolved and preserved according to the present invention with a petroleum product and increasing the amount of the resulting mixture, and then burning the resulting mixture, it is expected that fuel efficiency will be improved and exhaust gas and environmental loads will be reduced.

[0018] Next, we will explain Figure 3. Vibrator 1 is placed in a hemispherical container 5 containing 1 to 2 liters of water, electrolyzed water, carbonated water, or a mixture of these. It vibrates at a frequency between 35 Hz and 200 Hz, and fins 9 are attached perpendicular to the direction of rotation of an electric vibration motor in the water to efficiently transmit the vibration. This creates a gentle flow in the solution, stirring it and preventing uneven distribution of nanobubbles and microbubbled hydrogen. It also accelerates the bonding of hydrogen and carbon dioxide.

[0019] The vibrator is fixed in place by hanging it on a flexible rubber-like material 4 so as not to suppress vibration, resulting in vibrations with two frequencies: a vibration frequency (35Hz to 50Hz) that corresponds to the motor's rotation speed, and the vibration frequency of the suspended vibrator itself (100Hz to 200Hz). Because the vibration frequency is low, it promotes the formation of hydrogen nanobubbles and microbubbles. On the other hand, the high frequency generated by the vibrator collapses the nanobubbles and microbubbles, and is effective in generating hydrocarbons through the combination of hydrogen atoms and carbon dioxide.

[0020] Figure 4 shows the relative positions of the anode electrode, cathode electrode, and vibrator when the hydrogen energy utilization device of the present invention is viewed from above, and simulates the flow 11 of the aqueous solution stirred by vibration. By locating the electrodes near the center of the container, the flow 11 of the aqueous solution is created by stirring through vibration. The vibrator 1 is also positioned so that the flow 11 of the aqueous solution is gentle. The vibrator 1 is located away from the center of the container 5, indicating a position where the stirring effect caused by vibration is greatest.

[0021] At this time, if there is a large amount of aqueous solution or if the stirring is insufficient due to the shape of the container being non-hemispherical, a separate stirring device 12 may be used.

[0022] The aqueous solution is subjected to vibrations of 35 Hz to 50 Hz, and electrolysis is carried out while the solution is being vibrated or stirred by the stirrer 12, converting hydrogen into nanobubbles or microbubbles. Carbonated water containing dissolved carbon dioxide is then added, and vibrations from the vibrator are applied, adding a vibration frequency of 100 Hz to 200 Hz, which causes the hydrogen nanobubbles and microbubbles to collapse. The collapsed and stirred hydrogen atoms and molecules efficiently combine with carbon dioxide, producing hydrocarbons that can be used to obtain energy. [Industrial Applicability]

[0023] The present invention makes it possible to easily dissolve hydrogen in an aqueous solution and store it, which is expected to provide a clean energy alternative to electricity. It can also be used as a combustion promoter for petroleum products. [Explanation of symbols]
