The electrolysis unit comprises an outer housing and an inner container which is disposed entirely within the outer housing. Between the outer housing and the inner container is a space for the collection of gases. The upper portion of the inner container is provided with a series of alternating peaks and valleys. At the tops of the peaks are louvered openings which permit the gases formed in the electrolysis to enter the space between the inner container and the outer housing. At the bottom of each valley of the inner container are a plurality of electrically conductive sleeves. The bottom of the inner container is provided with a series of troughs which are disposed beneath the valleys and in which the lower ends of the conductive sleeves are received. Each sleeve is provided with a plurality of holes which are disposed on the outside of the sleeve above the level of water in the troughs. A supply of water is provided to the troughs and a conventional pump is employed to pump water from the water into the troughs to keep the water at a constant level therein. An electrode projects downwardly into the center of each sleeve and connects with a supply of electric current through a spark plug. In a modified form of the invention, the outer housing is provided with peaks and valleys parallel with the peaks and valleys of the inner container to permit external access to the spark plugs. | 01-29-2009 |
