Practical Guige to Free Energy Devices

which do not provoke electrolysis of the aqueous fluid. Under these conditions, a single gas is generated and
collected. This gas has desirable properties and is useful for various applications.
In a first step of the method, a magnetic field is applied to the reaction zone. Preferably, the magnetic field is
applied by providing a source of electric power to the reaction zone. An electric current in the reaction zone
provides a magnetic field.
In a preferred embodiment, two metallic end plates having an inside surface and an outside surface, and having
the capacity to conduct an electrical current are used in the reaction zone in an opposing configuration. The
inside of each end plate is partially submerged in the electrolyte solution. The metallic plates are preferably
comprised of nickel alloy or stainless steel, but any metal can be used so long as such metal has the capacity to
conduct an electric current and is preferably resistant to erosion by alkali solutions.
One of the metallic plates serves as a cathode and the other as an anode. The cathode and anode should be
separated by a sufficient distance so that a magnetic field forms when current is applied to the reaction zone. The
distance between the plates must be greater than one inch (25 mm) in the method of the invention and is
preferably eight to sixteen inches (200 to 400 mm) apart. This distance is independent of the volume of the
aqueous fluid employed or size of the reaction zone.
There is a relationship between the concentration of electrolyte solution and the amperage which will exist in the
aqueous fluid upon application of current. The higher the specific gravity, the greater the amperage which will
result. This will also affect the strength of the magnetic field, and increase the temperature of the solution.
Electrolysis (used industrially to produce hydrogen gas via the reaction 2H 2 O(l)→2H 2 (g)+O 2 (g)) which is not
desired in the method of the invention, could occur if the current is too high. The current may be too high if the
specific gravity of the electrolyte exceeds the equivalent of 1.2 for potassium hydroxide.
In order for the magnetic field to be applied to the reaction zone, a power source (e.g., 110 volts DC) is applied
respectively to the anode and to the cathode. An appropriate power source that may be used in the method of the
invention is 110 volt alternating current which has been converted to direct current using a rectifying process (e.g.,
a diode bridge). Any standard power or voltage source may be used as long as it is direct current. When an
electric current is applied to the reaction zone, a magnetic field is created in the reaction zone, which periodically
collapses and causes the conversion of the water in the aqueous fluid into gas. Cyclic pulsation will be present in
current even after alternating current is converted to direct current (for example a 120 Hz pulsation from
household current) unless a smoothing circuit has been incorporated. This resulting cyclic pulsation is employable
in the invention to periodically collapse the magnetic field, however using an auxiliary pulsing unit is preferable so
that better regulation of pulsing may be employed. Any means for causing the electric current provided to the
reaction zone to pulse at a frequency of 15 to 20 kilohertz decreases the wattage needed to create gas by
approximately a factor of 10. The amount of energy needed to generate one litre of gas is 0.0028 kilowatt-hour
and with a pulsing device associated with the reaction zone, the amount drops to 0.00028 kilowatt-hour or less to
generate one litre of gas.
As the pulsing occurs, the stationary magnetic field alternatively collapses and is reinstated. It has been found
that a reaction occurs in the electrolyte solution between the two end plates upon collapse of the magnetic field,
which results in a release of a generated gas. Some of the same gas will be pulled toward the individual plates
and released as part of the generated gas.
In a pilot plant apparatus for determining optimal conditions, a clear Plexiglas receptacle can be used for the
reaction zone, so that one can visibly monitor the reaction with ultraviolet light and observe the generation of gas.
This pilot plant preferably provides adjustment for the cathode and anode so that they can be moved to optimise
the reaction for a given aqueous fluid composition and changes in pulsing duration and frequency.
Gas is generated not only at the electrodes but also appears as bubbles in the body of water between the
electrodes. It has been found that use of minimal electric currents between two electrodes results from the
electrodes being spread a sufficient distance apart of at least one inch (2.5 cm) and preferably eight to sixteen
inches apart, thereby creating the aforesaid magnetic field enveloping the reaction chamber. A pure gas is
produced in the body of aqueous fluid between the electrodes, without the production of a high levels of heat that
would cause the water to vaporise (212° F). Rather, the reaction zone remains at a temperature not exceeding
120° F. dependent on ambient temperature. Normally, there is a 30° F temperature rise above ambient
temperature assuming room temperature 90° F. The collection chambers contain no increase in oxygen gas, no
increase in hydrogen gas, and no noticeable water vapour. Thus, costs are lowered, production speed increases,
and the resulting gas is uniform in its properties. Also important, the resulting homogeneous gas can be pumped
into a stainless steel cylinder and has been found to be stable and not explosive under pressures of over 1000 lbs
per square inch.
