Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fine bubble amplifiers require large devices due to the need for parallel flow-feeding pipes and are prone to clogging and reduced water flow, which is unsuitable for treating large volumes of electrolytic liquid.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If a flat flow-feeding pipe is used with magnets arranged radially, then fine bubbles can be generated, but the flow rate of electrolytic liquid is restricted and parallel pipes are needed for large volume treatment
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the flow-feeding pipe from a flat shape to a circular cross-section. This curvature change allows the pipe to maintain structural integrity while accommodating radial magnet arrangement, enabling efficient fine bubble generation without restricting flow rate, thus eliminating the need for parallel pipes in large volume applications
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from a two-dimensional flat pipe structure to a three-dimensional circular pipe structure. This dimensional change enables the magnets to be arranged radially around the pipe circumference, creating a more effective magnetic field configuration that enhances electrolysis efficiency while maintaining high flow rates
2Reliability
If Bincho charcoal chips and stainless steel spheres are filled in the flow passage, then electrolysis can occur at chip surfaces, but water flow decreases with use due to clogging and rust
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the Bincho charcoal chips and stainless steel spheres from the flow passage, eliminating the clogging and rust problems associated with these materials. Instead, electrolysis occurs directly on the inner circumferential surface of the smooth circular pipe, maintaining reliable water flow throughout operation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent eliminates the need for porous charcoal chips by using the smooth surface of the circular pipe itself for electrolysis. This approach avoids the clogging issues inherent in porous materials while maintaining effective fine bubble generation through the magnetic field and electrolytic liquid flow
