Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If conventional electrolysis apparatus is used, then electrolysis can be performed, but efficient hydrogen gas generation at direct-current low voltage cannot be achieved due to inadequate ionization of the electrolytic solution
Solution Approach 1:
The liquid activator is used to preliminarily activate the electrolytic solution before electrolysis begins. This preliminary activation facilitates ionization of the liquid portion, preparing the solution for efficient low-voltage electrolysis. The activation process occurs in advance, modifying the electrolytic solution's properties to enable subsequent low-energy operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The liquid activator acts as an intermediary between the power source and the electrolytic solution. It mediates the interaction by receiving electromagnetic waves from the black radiation sintered body and transferring activated liquid portions to the electrolytic cell, enabling efficient energy transfer and ionization without requiring high direct-current voltage.
2Productivity
If high voltage is applied to achieve efficient electrolysis, then hydrogen gas can be generated, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes the physical and chemical parameters of the electrolytic solution through activation. By altering the ionization state and electrical conductivity of the liquid portion, the solution can undergo electrolysis at lower voltages while maintaining efficient hydrogen gas generation. The activated liquid portions have modified properties that enable low-voltage operation.
3Ease of operation
If the electrolytic solution is not activated, then the apparatus structure remains simple, but ionization at low voltage is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The invention replaces the need for high mechanical/electrical voltage input with an electromagnetic activation system. Instead of applying high direct-current voltage to achieve ionization, the system uses electromagnetic waves from the black radiation sintered body to activate the electrolytic solution, substituting a different physical mechanism for ionization.
