Abstract
Barrel-shaped anodes and cathodes are alternately arranged in layers in a concentric manner with space between the electrodes. Anodes are ferrite poles with a long hole along the center axis or a pipe, and the hole is filled with a metal with a low melting point heated to the temperature at which it has some fluidity. Alternatively the hole is filled with mercury, which is a liquid at room temperature, and then a conductive metal terminal main body is inserted so that it has a sufficient contact area between the terminal and the ferrite electrode,resulting in improved conductivity at the contact point. Consequently, a compact electrolyzer with superior electrolysis performance that is long lasting, even if the electrical current per electrode area is increased, is achieved.
