Abstract

Methods and systems for improved generation of hydroxy gas are presented. In one embodiment, a hydroxy gas generator is provided that includes a gas generation chamber that contains water and anode-cathode pairs. The anode-cathode pairs may be configured to generate hydroxy gas using a continuously-flowing supply of water. The hydroxy gas generator may also include a water structuring device that reduces the surface tension of the continuously-flowing supply of water. The water structuring device may also magnetically orient the molecules of the continuously-flowing supply of water. The hydroxy gas generator may further include a gas isolation system for extracting hydroxy gas from the gas generation chamber.

Claims (39)

1. A hydroxy gas generator, comprising:

a gas generation chamber containing water;

a plurality of anode-cathode pairs within the gas generation chamber configured to generate hydroxy gas using a continuously-flowing supply of water;

a water structuring device configured to (i) reduce the surface tension of the continuously-flowing supply of water and (ii) magnetically orient molecules of the continuously-flowing supply of water; and

a gas isolation system for extracting hydroxy gas from the gas generation chamber.

2. The hydroxy gas generator of claim 1 , wherein the water structuring device reduces the surface tension of the continuously-flowing supply of water by causing the water to flow through a plurality of spheres.

3. The hydroxy gas generator of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of spheres reduce the surface tension of the continuously-flowing supply of water by creating vortexes within the continuously-flowing supply of water.

4. The hydroxy gas generator of claim 2 , wherein at least a subset of the plurality of spheres have a diameter of at least 0.4 inches.

5. The hydroxy gas generator of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of spheres create magnetic fields that magnetically orient the molecules of the water.

6. The hydroxy gas generator of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of spheres are charged with a magnetic field of at least 1 Tesla.

7. The hydroxy gas generator of claim 2 , wherein at least a subset of the plurality of spheres are gold plated.

8. The hydroxy gas generator of claim 1 , wherein the surface tension of the continuously-flowing supply of water is reduced by at least 20%.

9. The hydroxy gas generator of claim 1 , wherein the gas generation chamber includes at least 7 anode-cathode pairs.

10. The hydroxy gas generator of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of anode-cathode pairs are harmonically tuned to have an electrical resonant frequency at a predetermined frequency.

11. The hydroxy gas generator of claim 10 , wherein the predetermined frequency is between 200-400 Hz.

12. The hydroxy gas generator of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of anode-cathode pairs operate at a predetermined voltage of 30-60 V.

14. The hydroxy gas generator of claim 1 , wherein the anodes of the plurality of anode-cathode pairs include aeration holes where the continuously-flowing supply of water is received.

15. The hydroxy gas generator of claim 1 , wherein the hydroxy gas is generated as microbubbles within the water.

16. The hydroxy gas generator of claim 1 , further comprising a water chiller for reducing the temperature of the continuously-flowing supply of water.

17. The hydroxy gas generator of claim 16 , wherein the water chiller reduces the temperature of the continuously-flowing supply of water to 65° F. or less.

18. The hydroxy gas generator of claim 16 , wherein the continuously-flowing supply of water proceeds through the water chiller prior to entering the anode-cathode pairs.

19. The hydroxy gas generator of claim 1 , further comprising a water recombination system for combining the hydroxy gas with a secondary supply of water to generate an oxygenated and hydrogenated water.

20. The hydroxy gas generator of claim 19 , wherein the oxygenated and hydrogenated water is applied to an agricultural site.

21. A method comprising:

structuring a continuously-flowing supply of water using a water structuring device to (i) reduce the surface tension of the continuously-flowing supply of water and (ii) magnetically orient molecules of the continuously-flowing supply of water;

passing the continuously-flowing supply of water through a plurality of anode-cathode pairs to generate hydroxy gas; and
