Gen 10 Hydrogen Generator Systems in a Dewalt BoxGen 10 Hydrogen fuel system dec 2024 with 30 amp circuit breaker fitted as standard
The first model of Hydrogen fuel system is the Gen 10 System which was developed in 2009 and patented in 2010, after having spent years working in Chemical Engineering / Metallugy at University.
This system was developed for Metallurgical uses as a means of precipitating Precious metals extracted from such materials as Used Catalytic converters. Many hours / weeks were used in developing these systems and many many many months have been spent since Using knowledge and training in Physics, Chemical Engineering and Civil Engineering, to develop a system that has Maximum Hydrogen output and Minimal wasted heat energy.
The Gen 10 Hydrogen system is now mounted securely into a Dewalt toughbox2 measuring 53 cm x 34 cm x 35 cm high, or a marine Battery box measuring 41 cm x 21 cm x 35 cm high, or a lockable Steel or aluminum box measuring 45 cm x 30 cm x 35 cm high.
Originally this system operated excellently generating 3.6 Litres of HHO gas per minute at 12.6 volt and 29 amp.
So as to make the system more suitable for trucking applications and heavy duty 4 wheel drive applications we have improved the system by mounting all parts onto a steel frame.
The steel frame is made of 2 mm thick mild steel .
The assembled system on the steel frame is then lowered into and firmly secured to the base of the Dewalt Box. Ths type of assembly offers the toughness and resistance of a HDPE plastic Dewalt tool box as well as the rigid security of the 2 mm thick steel frame.
The Steel frame allows all components to be securely mounted onto a rigid frame . Mounting the steel frame assembly into the Dewalt Toolbox , allows all parts of the system to me easily serviced.
The Plastic HDPE frame of the toolbox absorbs and vibrations form the vehicle as well as providing a tough box that can absorb impact loads without damaging the internal hydrogen fuel system cells , pump or electronics.
Dewalt Tough-box 2 assembly is a thick HDPE plastic enclosure which can be easily sealed and locked with three locking points . It is suitable for this system as it has sufficient air space within to prevent overheating and is therefore perfectly suited to the Arid Australian outback conditions for Trucking , Mining and Farming .
This system is ideal for work vehicles, Generators, Trucks and Mining and Farming equipment with engine capacity to 6 litres. For larger engines two or more of these units can be connected together to provide the required gas output. This model system was recently used in Road tests on a 2022, 27 tonne , 7.2 litre Diesel truck and produced savings on 31% and 32%. (see webpage report)
Photos below show the 2 mm thick steel frame onto which the Hydrogen Generator system components are mounted. This steel frame is then lowered into the Dewalt Tough-box whch is coated with a thick layer of Sikaflex . This Bonds the assembly to the box base.
The Adhesive Sikaflex was used as a bonding agent because of its shock absorbing / flexible / compressible nature and high binding strength .
Latest developments for these systems include the use of new Resin filter system to increase the purity of the water electrolyte . This development removes impurities from the water to produce Chemistry laboratory grade distilled to produce a purity of 52ppm from tap-water (800pm) or ground water 1500 ppm.
Removing impurities prevents any unwanted oxidation of the anode of an electrolysis unit , producing more gas for the electrical energy input and wasting much less energy as heat.
The Resin filter capsule is able to produce 50,000 litres of pure water and has a lifespan of 5000 hours. The Capsule is easily replaced / serviced with a new filter module.
