Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If conventional electrolyzing devices use circular, rectangular or net-shaped electrodes with recessed portions, then the device structure is simple, but hydrogen molecules gather in stagnation zones to form larger bubbles, decreasing hydrogen dissolution efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The electrode surface is divided into multiple protruding portions instead of a single recessed structure. This segmentation eliminates stagnation zones where hydrogen bubbles would accumulate, allowing continuous dissolution of hydrogen molecules into the cationic water while maintaining simple manufacturing processes
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of using recessed portions (conventional design), the invention uses protruding portions on the electrode surface. This inversion of the conventional approach prevents bubble accumulation and improves hydrogen dissolution efficiency without complicating the device structure
2Device complexity
If a static hydrogen water electrolytic cup with holes in the ion membrane is used, then the device structure is simple, but oxygen molecules stay in cavities under the anode, increasing electrode impedance
Solution Approach 1:
The invention introduces a water circulation system with pumps and flow channels that dynamically moves water through the electrolytic cell. This dynamic flow prevents oxygen molecules from accumulating in cavities under the anode, reducing electrode impedance while maintaining a relatively simple device structure
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses hydraulic flow through specially designed channels to guide water movement. The water flow paths are configured to actively transport oxygen-containing water away from the anode cavities, preventing oxygen accumulation and reducing harmful effects on electrode performance
3Ease of operation
If holes in the ion membrane are made larger to improve liquid flow, then electrolyzing liquid flows easily, but oxygen molecules and ozone are introduced into the cationic water, causing pollution
Solution Approach 1:
The invention creates different flow conditions in different regions of the electrolytic cell. The water flow rate and direction are locally optimized near the ion membrane to allow sufficient liquid flow while preventing oxygen and ozone from entering the cationic water stream, thus maintaining both ease of operation and water purity
4Quantity of substance
If an air chamber is added to enhance hydrogen molecule contents, then hydrogen concentration in cationic water increases, but the device occupies larger space and increases cost
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges the hydrogen concentration function into the existing water circulation and electrolysis system. By optimizing the water flow paths and electrode configurations, the system achieves enhanced hydrogen dissolution without requiring a separate air chamber, thus avoiding increased device space and cost while maintaining high hydrogen concentration in the cationic water

AI summary
A hydrogen molecule remixing device includes a base, a first gas and water channelling disc, an anode, a cathode, an ion membrane, a second gas and water channelling disc, a cover, a cationic water outlet connector and a connector. In practice, the source water is electrolyzed in the anode cavities of the anode to form oxygen molecules, ozone and anionic water, and electrolyzed in the cathode cavities of the cathode to form hydrogen molecules and cationic water. The hydrogen molecules are carried by the cationic water into the collecting and guiding chambers of the second gas and water channelling disc, so that the hydrogen molecules and the cationic water produce a blending reaction, and more hydrogen molecules are dissolved into the cationic water.
