DRIVER INTERACTIVE SYSTEM FOR REDUCING THE POSSIBILITY OF A STATIC DISCHARGE DURING THE REFILL OF HIGH PRESSURE STORAGE TANKS IN HYDROGEN FUEL CELL POWERED VEHICLES

摘要

A driver interactive system to indirectly monitor hydrogen fuel cell vehicle electrical charge potential through vehicle to ground resistance measurements, and to permit refueling only when vehicle to ground resistance does not exceed a predetermined safe level thereby reducing the possibility of a static discharge during the refill of high pressure storage tanks in hydrogen powered vehicles.
