1. Electrolysis device with plural electrolytic cells, comprising:
- a vessel with cylindrical wall and discharge outlet for gas;
a plurality of concentrically arranged tubular electrodes, disposed in the vessel and concentric thereto, and defining plural annular concentric cells, each being open at the top so that a collecting chamber for a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen is defined above all of said cells in the upper portion of the vessel serving as collection chamber for a gas mixture to be discharged from the chamber via said outlet, the the annular cells being adapted to be filled with electrolytic liquid whereby each tube serves as anode of one and cathode of the radially next cell; and
insulating means for embedding bottom portions of the tubular electrodes thereby mounting the electrodes in relation to each other and to the vessel.

Abstract
Plural concentric, tubular electrodes are disposed in a cylindrical pressure vessel to establish therein plural, at least, partially serially connected cells in radial, spaced-apart relation. The tubular electrodes are either mounted in an insulative bottom layer of the vessel, or when closed at their lower axial ends, are nested with spacers inbetween. Various provisions are made for cooling and for equalizing the electric current density in the several cells or the volume of the cells is kept similar.
