This document serves as a formal public disclosure and open-source release of the HYDODrive Resonant Hydrogen Generator concept, design, and methods.
This disclosure is intended to place the described technology into the public domain as prior art, preventing any third party from patenting, restricting, or monopolizing the concepts, designs, or methods outlined herein.
HYDODrive is an open-source hydrogen-on-demand generator system that uses resonant frequency field stimulation of water molecules to split hydrogen and oxygen efficiently with minimal electrical input.
The system applies:
Carrier wave generation (~13.5kHz sinusoidal signal)
Gate (modulation) frequency generation (~495Hz complex waveform)
LC Tank Resonance Circuit (typically 1.7mH inductor and 68µF capacitor)
Digital frequency management and waveform generation using modern microcontrollers (e.g., LattePanda, Arduino, Raspberry Pi).
Low-current, high-voltage excitation of water to induce molecular bond stress and field-assisted separation (rather than brute-force amperage electrolysis).
The result is a highly efficient release of hydrogen gas, capable of powering combustion systems, producing high-heat plasma for industrial uses, and purifying contaminated water sources.
Key Features
Two-Board Modular Architecture:
The HYDODrive system typically employs a split-board design, with a Signal Processor Board (responsible for waveform generation, frequency management, and system monitoring) and a separate Driver Board (responsible for high-power switching of the electrolyser LC tank circuits and dry cell array).
This modularity allows the same controller to drive systems of varying sizes — from small portable setups to larger industrial or vehicular applications — by scaling the driver stage as needed.
Real-time control and modulation of waveform parameters to optimize resonance conditions based on water conductivity and cell characteristics.
Compact dry cell electrolyser designs using flat plates or nested tubes.
Driver boards separated from control boards for scalable power handling.
Potential applications include small engine retrofits, decentralized home energy production, portable water purification, and emergency clean fuel generation.
HYDODrive builds on:
Nikola Tesla’s resonance theories regarding efficient energy transfer.
Andrija Puharich - born Henry Karel Puharić (e.g., U.S. patent 4,394,230 ) "Method and Apparatus for Splitting Water Molecules.".
Stanley Meyer’s hydrogen generation patents (e.g., US Patent 4,936,961).
Stephen Meyer’s static hydrogen production methods (Abandoned patent US 20050246059A1, MLS-Hydroxyl Filling Station) and collaborative work with Xogen Technologies (Sadly now defunct).
This disclosure combines prior resonance-based water-splitting methods with modern open-source electronics and manufacturing capabilities.
The HYDODrive system is released under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-SA 4.0).
Anyone is free to build, modify, improve, and distribute the HYDODrive technology — provided any derivative works are also shared openly and credit is given to the original project.
