ENERGY GENERATION SYSTEM AND RELATED USES THEREOF |
摘要 |
A self contained energy generating system that comprises a galvanic battery and a power distribution system. The energy generating system is used to purify water by using a reverse osmosis device that draws in a source of water and transfers electrolytes to the galvanic battery. Upon contact with the electrolyte, the galvanic battery produces energy by an oxidation-reduction reaction of the cathode and anode and transfers energy to the power distribution system, which in turn provides power to the osmosis device. Additionally, the system includes a hydrogen fuel cell to increase the amount of energy generated and a power storage device for storing excess energy generated. The system also includes a controller which is configured to regulate the overall operation of the system. |

1. A method of converting a waste stream to energy for purifying water, the method comprising:
segregating, by a reverse osmosis device, the waste stream and purified water; detecting by a salinity sensor, the saline level of the waste stream; adding salt to the waste stream to bring the salinity level of the waste stream to a predetermined level; performing an oxidation reduction reaction between the waste stream and a metal to generate a first electric energy; transferring hydrogen generated as a byproduct of the oxidation reduction reaction to a hydrogen fuel cell, to generate a second electric energy; and distributing at least a fraction of a total generated electric energy to the reverse osmosis device. |
