Abstract
Abstract A device for producing and recycling hydrogen (DPRH) from electrolyte and hydrocarbons comprises an electrolysis unit which is energized by the source of direct electro-current and agitated by the generator of ultrasonic vibrations. The electrolysis unit comprises a container having inlet means for introducing a gasoline or other hydrocarbons and for introducing an electrolyte; a pair of positive and negative electrodes connected to the source of direct electro-current; outlet means for exiting hydrogen and oxygen. A DPRH is adapted for producing hydrogen from an electrolyte, gasoline, petroleum or the like, including gaseous hydrocarbons. A DPRH is adapted for producing oxygen from an electrolyte. A DPRH is adapted for recycling hydrogen from exhaust gases and for reducing polluting emission into the atmosphere. A DPRH is adapted for powering a vehicle utilizing an electrolyte and hydrocarbons as sources of energy. A DPRH is adapted to be inserted in the space gas station for producing hydrogen and oxygen.
