Abstract
Energy producing apparatus comprising an imbalance wheel mounted for energy producing rotation about a substantially horizontal axis, and which is substantially in rotational balance and defines at least two peripherally located and substantially equally circumferentially distributed electrochemical cell zones for conversion of liquid to gas, each zone having operatively opposed cathode and anode devices and operatively disposed imbalance imparting captive gas collection spaces for collecting corresponding conversion gas therein, plus a liquid feed system for feeding liquid to the zones, electrical conductor devices arranged for selectively providing a circuit of current from a source to the corresponding cathode and anode devices of each successive zone when at a selective imbalance imparting lower location in the lower half wheel portion, and a gas delivery system arranged for delivering conversion gas from the corresponding collection space of each successive zone when at the substantially uppermost location in the upper half wheel portion for recovery therefrom, PA1 whereby successively at such lower location to convert liquid to gas in each zone and collect the gas in the corr…
