Abrégé

The present invention provides an apparatus and method to generate optimally sized microbubbles and/or nanobubbles of hydrogen gas, oxygen gas and/or oxyhydrogen gas according electrolysis cell parameters and voltage and/or size and/or volume of water in a water reservoir or from a flow of water. In a water reservoir a control unit is operable to control water pump means to pump water at a predetermined velocity through the electrolysis cell according to the parameters of the electrolysis cell to control the average size of the nanobubbles and/or microbubbles generated, and the water flow at the predetermined velocity shears the generated nanobubbles and/or microbubbles from the electrodes into the water flow and through the water outlet of the apparatus. In a water flow, a control unit operable to adjust voltage to the electrolysis cell, whereby the amount of the voltage adjustment is made according to the rate of flow of water and to the parameters of the electrolysis cell to control the average size of the nanobubbles and/or microbubbles generated, and wherein the flow of water shears the generated nanobubbles and/or microbubbles from the electrodes into the water flow and through a water outlet.
