The inputs of solar energy and hydrogen gas from water.
SThe Prior art.
The prior art includes many forms of electricity generating devices. The 00 need for electrical energy has grown with the proliferation of technological developments which are an unabating trend. As this evolution advances the supply of electrical energy has been delivered by large centralised infrastructure, transporting electrical energy over vast distances to where it is needed. Predominantly these are fed by fossil fuels or nuclear reaction, both of which have undesirable side effects and aspects both financial and environmental. The inherent problems delivering large amounts of power over distance is the inbuilt energy loss factor. Many small diesel, petrol, motors are used in places where power is not readily available, adding further to the overall cost of power. There are also steam solar steam power plants, utilising thermal heat from the suns rays. The photovoltaic cells are used in vast quantities to produce electrical energy. Our product amalgamates old and new technology concepts in a way that creates an innovative product.
00 c The innovation As an electricity generating device in accordance with this innovation. It S generates electricity by exposure to sunlight of the photovoltaic cells and ^c the electronic separation of the hydrogen gas available in water, the use of steam driven turbines, and solid state deep cell batteries, use of low o0 boiling point chemicals, these are known technologies synchronised together and operating in synergy in this innovation.
The innovation technology is flexible in scale. Preferably this innovation can be built in a compact unit, situated as the need arises. Such as on the outer side of a dwelling or business or other structure as required. To gain the solar input required by the innovation as well as having a supply of water.
The hydrogen gas is utilised as a fuel to heat water flowing into the apparatus and converting this to steam to drive a turbine which in turn drives a generator producing electricity and adding to the current produed by the photovoltaic array. The produced electricity is clean of Undesirable emissions. The photovoltaic cells may be of propriety origin.
The photovoltaic arrangement will deliver electric current through a battery in line or parallel to the battery directly into the master current Inverting module. The inverter module is preferably a rectifier which converts the direct current into an alternating current and regulates the 00 O 3.
Sflow of current, and can also direct the current to and from the battery, or Cc out to the desired load. The battery in this innovation is a long cycle mc sealed gel type which is the bank of reserve power. The battery is the start up following a period of dormancy or service and is used also at periods 00 of low solar flux. Electrolysis to produce hydrogen gas will be occurring ^c on demand in the hydrogen generating module within the innovation. The electrolosis will be charged by current produced initially by the photovoltaic cells. The cells will produce more electricity than is needed to continue the electrolysis and thus will produce more electricity than is needed to continue the electrolysis process and thus will continue to deliver current as an output parallel to the demand to the electrolysis.
The hydrogen generating module is comprised of a vessel enclosed and plumbed to a water supply and being vented to an oxygen handling cylinder for storage or release into atmosphere. The vessel is also plumbed to hydrogen gas drawing line which is directed to the burner.
The same vessel is also plumed to a water supply, controlled in level by flotation valve to a preset level. The electrolysis rods are attached to a serviceable cover for replacement All inlet and outlet ports and plumbing is of a one way flow controlled by one way liquid or gas valves.
00 4.
The flow control of the gas to burner is controlled for variable gas flow by means of solenoids gaining there setting configuration from the master Inverter. The burner is of an open burner configuration. The boiler is the SPressure vessel which contains a body of latent heat, the boiler is heated to a temperature suffient to turn the water to steam. The boiler is also 00 filled with a suitable liquid in the form of glycol or other low boiling Spoint chemical, thus transferring heat uniformly to the water passing through the coils within it.
The boiler has a single coil through which the water passes and is so heated and exits the boiler as steam. The boiler is preferably constructed of stainless steel and may be also constructed of alloyed metals. The boiler is preferably lined with a ceramic internally if required. The boiler is cylindrical in shape and is of a size proportional to the capacity of the generating module. The boiler may be filled and surround the coil with a synthetic oil. The same boiler is fitted with non return valves at water inlet add steam outlet The coil inside the boiler is preferably tapered to maximise the steam temperature and pressure.
The turbine is loaded with the steam directly from the boiler in the central port and thus pressurises the turbine clusters. Preferably the turbine will be a propriety unit .The turbine may exhaust its spent steam into a 00 The turbine may exhaust its spent steam into a Recovery vessel for recirculation. The recondensed water may re enter the cycle through a valve prior to the boiler for reheating. Water delivery to ti the whole unit is preferably from the public utility water supply.
The alternator generating the current is preferably an alternating current Sunit and may be a direct current unit of single or three phase output. The capacity determined by the demand. The phases, frequencies and current control are rectified and regulated by the inverter module of proprietary design.
