Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014083385A1] An apparatus for generating hydrogen and oxygen comprises; - a container (2) made of electrically insulating material and defining an internal volume (20), - a casing (3) made of electrically conductive metal material, inserted into said internal volume (20), - side plate means (4, 5) made of zinc and/or cadmium metal alloy and fixed in contact with opposite sides (16, 17) of central plate means (6) made of metal alloy containing one or more transition metals, in particular iron and/or nickel, said side plate means (4, 5) and said central plate means (6) being housed inside said casing (3), said side plate means (4, 5) being in electrical connection with the latter; - a reaction solution (S) arranged for filling said internal volume (20) until it covers completely said casing (3) and arranged for interacting with said side plate means (4, 5) and said central plate means (6) to generate hydrogen and oxygen in gaseous form, said reaction solution comprising water, a non ionic surfactant containing hydrochloric acid (HCl), titanium dioxide (TiO2) in powder form, a phosphoric acid solution (H3PO4) and an acid solution containing sulphuric acid (H2SO4).
