INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering; internal combustion engines.

SUBSTANCE: proposed internal combustion engine contains crank-and-connecting rod mechanism, timing mechanism, cooling system with radiator, lubricating system, fuel system, ignition system, condenser and electrolyzer. Exhaust gas pipe is connected with condenser coil by pump and is made for delivering water vapors into condenser oil, cooling of vapors, to get distilled water for electrolysis and use it is closed cycle. Container of electrolyzer has gang of stainless steel electrodes rigidly interconnected by bolts and nuts through washers made of dielectric material. Said gang is provided with feet and side stops also made of dielectric material. Electrodes are installed in parallel, with clearance and adjacent electrodes differ in polarity. Electrolyzer container is furnished with grid pan connected with infrasonic or ultrasonic generator with magnetostriction vibrator, support, rod and pipe to supply and remove cooling water, connected with cooling system and made for generating elastic waves. Anodes are series connected to each other, and cathode are series-connected to each other and connected with ac source through rotary converter, electric pulse generator and electric switches made for converting alternating current into direct current, low-voltage current into high-voltage current, creating electric pulses and provide possibility of operation at different modes and changing current direction across electrodes for automatic cleaning of electrodes from alkali deposit. Outlet pipes-gas lines are arranged at different levels and are connected with carburetor through vacuum pump, accumulating chamber and reducer and are made for extraction of hydrogen and oxygen from different sections of electrolyzer container over its perimeter and delivering hydrogen and oxygen into carburetor along different pipes by means of vacuum pumps. Vacuum pumps. Vacuum pumps are connected with microswitch of vacuum regulator by electric circuit and are designed for automatically maintaining preset low-pressure to accelerate splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen in process of electrolysis and to automatically control operation of vacuum pumps.

EFFECT: reduced energy consumption for splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen, improved reliability of engine and increased its service life.
