Multiple Quenching Circuits (5a...5n) are used to prevent flame-out when the Fuel Cell gases exceed a certain gas velocity, and quenching circuits are prearranged so an adjacent flame can re-ignite ex...

The Quenching Nozzle (20) prevents spark-back into the Fuel Cell during gas ignition; fuel gases pass through a small elongated gas port (5) smaller than .015 inch diameter but equal to or greater tha...
established WFC
The hydrogen gases support a flame temperature up to and beyond 5,000°F; to reduce burn-rate/flame temperature further, non-combustible gases expelled from the sustained flame are captured, flow-regul...
established WFC
The non-combustible ambient air gases retard the speed at which hydrogen atoms unite with oxygen during burning, automatically adjusting the burn rate of hydrogen gas from 325 cm/sec down to 42 cm/sec...
established WFC
Since water is the gas mixing regulator, the fuel gas ratio is composed of 2 hydrogen atoms to 1 oxygen atom plus 17% to 19% per part of ambient air gases, and this ratio remains the same regardless o...

Since the Fuel Cell utilizes voltage to dissociate the water molecule, the Fuel Cell becomes a multi-gas generator, producing hydrogen, oxygen, and ambient air gases (water contains 17% to 19% per vol...

The device directly uses utility power without the aid of an auxiliary amp generator.

A self-cleaning fuel cell was developed by way of voltage application: voltage pulses perform a scrubbing action on the plates that prevents an oxidizing coat/film from forming (by retarding chemical...

The system adjusts hydrogen burn-rate from 325 cm/sec to 42 cm/sec, co-equating fossil fuel burn characteristics, by using water as a gas mixing regulator.

established WFC
The pulse voltage frequency is varied in direct relationship with the variable voltage amplitude as a control mechanism for gas production.
established WFC
Increasing the voltage amplitude of the pulse increases opposite polarity attraction between charged particles, which in turn causes greater gas production.

The fuel cell sustains a constant, high-temperature hydrogen/oxygen flame beyond 5000°F, with flame size controlled by amp flow, unlike prior art which requires a continuous gas-ignitor to maintain co...
established WFC
By using voltage attenuation with the fuel cell, ambient air is allowed to uniformly mix with the liberated hydrogen and oxygen gases, reducing the hydrogen gas burn-rate from 325 cm/sec down to less...
established WFC
Voltage attenuation as to voltage amplitude spans an extremely broad range, from one volt to over 5,000 volts, enabling high gas yield; prior art is limited by amp arcing that reduces electrode life,...

During transient startup, unidirectional diode (14) is non-conducting and isolates the water fuel cell from the high-voltage multiplying component (8), allowing the cell to take a positive charge duri...

Surrounding the voltage zone with an electrical insulator such as Teflon, plastic, or glass (item 20 of Fig 9D) seals the voltage gap, preventing electrical leakage to the water supply and allowing a...

Chemical interaction and amp flow are minimized by using natural water with no more than 20 parts per million of any contaminants; the rule of thumb is not to increase electrical conductivity by addin...

Stainless steel T304 is used for the excitor array because it does not oxidize when exposed to liberated hydrogen and oxygen in water with no voltage applied; lab certification tests show a decomposit...

The pulse waveform from the bypass coil (9) is transferred to stainless steel excitor plates submerged in natural water; due to skin-effect, voltage zones of opposite polarity form across the plates,...
