METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING HYDROGEN FROM WATER (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC C01B3/08 C25B1/02 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to chemistry. According to the first version, hydrogen is produced by insulating iron rods from walls of a reactor 1 and applying high-voltage potential from a Tesla coil 14 across said rods. The reactor 1 is earthed and filled with water until a discharge forms between iron electrodes and the surface of the water. According to the second version, a flat horizontal cooled electrode 18 is insulated from walls of the reactor 1 and high-voltage potential from a Tesla coil 14 is applied across said electrode. The reactor is earthed. Thin-walled tubes 23 made of iron with a displacement device 24 are mounted vertically inside the reactor. The distance between the thin-walled tubes and the flat electrode 18 is reduced until a discharge forms. Water vapour is fed through the thin-walled tubes.

EFFECT: invention increases purity of hydrogen and reduces power consumption.
