Brown's Gas

From TinWiki.org

Brown's Gas, oxyhydrogen or HHO gas are mixtures of diatomic and monatomic molecules containing hydrogen and oxygen. It is the result of splitting water’s hydrogen and oxygen molecules, using electrical voltage.

History

Yull Brown

Although the benefits of oxyhydrogen were known as early as the 19th century, pulse frequency modulation with the electrolytic cell, required for Brown’s Gas, has only been realized much more recently.

The name “Brown’s Gas” is attributed to Yull Brown, an inventor/electrical engineer from Sydney, Australia. Brown received utility patents in 1977-78 for his electrolytic cells and Brown’s Gas generators. It is however, widely believed that work on unpatented electrolytic cell technology was underway significantly earlier.

Properties

The gas typically forms at a ratio of 2:1 hydrogen to oxygen however, the more accurate the 2:1 ratio of hydrogen to oxygen, respectively, the more efficient the combustion of the hydrogen and oxygen into energy.

It does not contain hydrocarbons and therefore burns a clean flame. It does not use atmospheric oxygen and it will burn under water as well as in a vacuum. Pure water is its only by-product.

Production

Conventional Electrolysis versus Electrolytic Cell

Oxyhydrogen is produced by water-electrolysis. Conventional electrolysis passes an electric current through water to split H2O into O2 and H2. The energy efficiency of conventional water electrolysis varies depending on the initial electrical source provided and the way in which the resulting heat (a negative by-product) is dispersed. Taking these into consideration, it is widely accepted that maximum outputs of conventional water electrolysis makes it economically inefficient in hydrogen production as an energy source.

The electrolytic cell takes the conventional water electrolysis process and dramatically improves it by introducing a modulated pulse frequency to the electrical current. The result is a very substantial reduction of kilowatt hours of energy required to yield the same amount of oxyhydrogen. Conventional electrolyzers encourage diatomic states which have a lower energy yield than monatomic molecules due to the significant rise in the heat of the electrolyzer. This is the essential difference separating Brown’s Gas from traditional oxyhydrogen generated by conventional water-electrolyzers; voltage manipulation.

Some experimenters have also noticed anomalous effects using a stacked-electrode electrolysis cell for breaking water into Brown's gas and using direct current as in the "traditional" electrolysis method. Typically there has been a small amount of current-conducting electrolyte such as Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) added to the water. In these experiments the theoretical voltage of 1.17 volts for water dissociation to oxyhydrogen has been noted to work adequately only for a while, and when new water is constantly added in the remaining electrolyte liquid inside the electrolysis cell at the same pace it is consumed, the gas production will get slower over time and finally the gas production virtually stops even if there is water remaining in the cell. However, when the cell voltage is raised to approximately 2.0 volts, the oxyhydrogen production is not slowed down until all water in the cell has been consumed.

It has been claimed that oxyhydrogen produced by a voltage of about 2.0 volts will produce a much hotter flame in a welding torch than pure commercially available hydrogen, or oxyhydrogen produced by the theoretical water dissociation voltage of about 1.2 volts. It is possible that this anomaly is caused by heavy water (D2O) which is found in small amounts (approximately 150 parts per million) in all natural water. D2O seemingly requires a higher voltage to break into O2 and D2 (deuterium, heavy hydrogen) than normal water to break into O2 and H2. Also the anomalously high flame temperature noted above may be explained by a small amount of D2 in the oxyhydrogen gas.

Applications

Brown's Gas generators

Brown's Gas generators range from small workshop sized models to large Brown's Gas plants capable of stably supplying Brown's Gas 24 hours a day 365 days a year for industrial energy needs. The efficiency of generators varies depending on technology and design. One of the world's foremost leading designers of Brown's Gas generators is B.E.S.T. Korea Co., Ltd. With a total of 76 patents and 53 utility models, they produce Brown's Gas generators having output levels as high as 500,000 l/h.

Automotive

Using electricity from the vehicle's battery, homemade Brown's Gas electrolytic cells are becoming increasingly popular as people look to reduce expenses from high oil prices. Vehicle retrofits are being self-installed, producing Brown's Gas from water and catalyst such as salt or baking soda. Brown's Gas is directed into the vehicle's air-intake which combusts along side traditional gasoline or diesel.

Cost

Brown’s Gas Cost Formula

1 liter of water yields 1,860 liters of Brown's Gas.

1 kWh creates = 340 liters of Brown's Gas.

1,860 divided by 340 = 5.47 kWh.

Example - 5.47 kWh x (cost of kWh in dollars) = cost of 1,860 liters of Brown's Gas.

Controversy

An energy source derived from water is of great controversy. Popular culture and mainstream science are largely fixated on the dangers and expense of generating and storing conventional hydrogen. All of which do not apply to Brown’s Gas.

Hydrogen fuel cell technology is propagated as means of clean energy although proving to be expensive and dependent on hydrogen fuelling stations.

In spite of common controversy Brown’s Gas continues to power internal combustion engines around the world.
