Abstract

A hydrogen gas generator system comprises a reactor stack adapted to perform electrolysis on water in an electrolyte solution, the reactor stack comprising a plurality of spaced apart electrode plates and electrolyte solution disposed between the plates, each plate having an upper outlet aperture and a lower inlet aperture to allow movement of electrolyte solution across the plates. A separator is configured to receive a mixture of gas and electrolyte solution from a top of the reactor stack and separate the gas from the electrolyte solution. A gas outlet configured to remove gas from the separator, and an electrolyte solution inlet configured to return electrolyte solution from the separator to a bottom of the reactor stack. The system comprises a pump configured to pump electrolyte solution in a circuit from the electrolyte solution outlet of the separator/reservoir, through the reactor stack at velocity, and back to the separator/reservoir, and in which in the upper and lower apertures are sufficiently large to allow pumped flow through the reactor stack.
