DEVICES, APPARATUS, METHODS AND PROCESSES FOR GENERATING HYDROGEN, OXYGEN AND ELECTRICITY FROM CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS WITHOUT PRODUCING UNDESIRABLE BY-PRODUCTS

摘要

Devices, apparatus, methods and processes are adapted and arranged toefficiently produce bothhydrogen and oxygen, while at the same time producing electricity.Advantageously, virtually noundesirable by-products are produced, thus yielding environmentally friendlysources of fuels andenergy. Through the cyclic use and re-use of acidic compounds, and especiallysulfuric acid, water isprocessed to produce hydrogen, oxygen and electricity. One or more of thehydrogen, oxygen andelectrical output of the methods, devices and apparatus of the invention canbe stored, or can be usedin many ways, for example, in a fuel cell to produce additional electricity orother reaction products.Hydrogen and oxygen produced by the invention can be combined in an engine,such as an internalcombustion engine, to power a vehicle, while electricity producedsimultaneously can be used to powerother features of the vehicle, such as radios and communications equipment aswell as electrical motorscommonly found in hybrid vehicles. The invention is also ideal as an idealsource of power for useswhere efficiency and the cyclic use of resources are paramount, such as forproviding electricity and fuelfor use in homes and industry.
