Apparatus and method for generating and using multi-direction DC and AC
electrical currents
Abstract
Multi-directional currents are generated in a medium by cyclically
reversing the direction of a conventional current applied to at least
one of at least two electrodes so that an electromotive force (EMF)
pulse travels from side of the electrode to the other, changing the
direction of current in the medium. The multi-directional currents may
be used to accelerate electrolytic processes such as generation of
hydrogen by water electrolysis, to sterilize water for drinking, to
supply charging current to a battery or capacitor, including a
capacitive thrust module, in a way that extends the life and/or
improves the performance of the battery or capacitor, to increase the
range of an electromagnetic projectile launcher, and to increase the
light output of a cold cathode light tube, to name just a few of the
potential applications for the multi-directional currents.
