Abstract

Electron exchangers are placed in the conversion cell and divide it into cathode gas chamber, liquid conversion solution chamber filled with a multiple track injection liquid controller, and anode gas chamber. Voltage is applied to the electron exchangers to convert the liquid conversion solution to gases, and gases are released directly to the gas chambers. On the surfaces of the single sheets of the multiple track injection liquid controller, there are many tracks and puncture channels that are designed by critical surface calculations, and manufactured with a precision technology. A computing engine connected to the cloud is responsible for artificial intelligence calculations, and it controls valves, sensors, servo motors, and enhance gas flow devices. In producing the same amount of final gases, our method is energy efficient.
