| 摘要 |
A system and method are disclosed comprising coupling a compression ignition engine ( 17 ) to an AC electrical generator ( 18 ) and/or a DC hompolar generator ( 19 ), wherein the homopolar generator (19) produces an electric current which is used to electrolyse water into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen from the water electrolysis process may be used as a renewable fuel, either in the form of a gaseous fuel or a reactant in a fuel cell. The oxygen from the water electrolysis unit ( 23 ) may be used to produce an oxygen enriched combustion atmosphere in the engine ( 17 ). The oxygen may optionally be used as a reactant, along with the hydrogen, in a fuel cell.
