ON DEMAND HYDROGEN PRODUCTION UNIT AND METHOD FOR THE ON DEMAND PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN

摘要

The invention discloses an on demand hydrogen production unit (10) and a method for the production of hydrogen from water by electrolysis. A container (2), defining a first portion for holding a plurality of parallel and plate like anodes (4) and a second portion for holding a plurality of parallel and plate like cathodes (6). A cover (7) is provided with an outlet (12) and an attached duct for oxygen, wherein the duct for oxygen leads to the environment. The cover (7) for the second portion is provided with an outlet (14) and an attached duct for hydrogen, wherein the duct for hydrogen leads to an energy user or an internal combustion engine. An inlet (26) to the container (2) provides water from a reservoir (42), so that the level of water is maintained at a constant level within the container (2).
