Hydrogen replenished lighter-than-air vehicle and method to replenish hydrogen

摘要

The present invention discloses a lighter-than-air vehicle and a method to replenish hydrogen into the vehicle while the vehicle is in the sky. The lighter-than-air vehicle can use helium or other gases that doesn't react with hydrogen as lifting gas. Hydrogen will be replenished into the lighter-than-air vehicle while it is still in mid-air. The lighter-than-air vehicles can comprise an aerostat, a hydrogen generator; a water tank and a duct. The present invention can also comprise an aerostat, a compartment, hydrogen generator, a water tank; and a duct. The present invention can also comprise an aerostat, a compartment, and a hydrogen storage alloy device. The present invention can also comprise an aerostat and a hydrogen storage alloy device.

主权项

1. A lighter-than-air vehicle comprising:
an aerostat; at least one hydrogen generator; at least one water tank; and at least one duct; wherein said aerostat further comprises a pressurized chamber filled with helium and pressure sensors for monitoring the pressure in said pressurized chamber; wherein said hydrogen generator is attached to the aerostat, and further comprises a blower and a control valve for releasing the generated hydrogen to said pressurized chamber to maintain pressure in said pressurized chamber; and wherein the water tank is attached to the aerostat and connected to the hydrogen generator through the duct.
