发明名称 Method and apparatus for generating electricity and potable water
摘要 The present invention 10 discloses a system for generating electricity and potable water 42. The system comprises an array of solar cells 12 which produce an amount of current. The solar cells have electrical connection means 14 to a bank of batteries 18. The batteries are connected by electrical connection means to an electrolytic device 20. The positive pole of the battery is connected to the cathode electrode 46 and the negative pole is connected to the anode electrode 48 which induces the electric current to pass through the liquid electrolyte 24. The current dissociates the water into its collectable gaseous component parts, oxygen and hydrogen. The oxygen is released into the atmospheric air but could be collected for some further process. A compressor 26 having electrical connection means to the batteries 18 and connection means to the electrolytic device 20 collects the hydrogen gas. A storage tank 28 having ingress connection means with the compressor stores the compressed hydrogen gas for use by additional components of the system. The storage tank further has egress control means for supplying a regulated amount of hydrogen gas to a boiler 34. The boiler 34 has electrical connection means 14 to the batteries 18 for energizing control devices, such as electronic firing, and thermal control devices and has ingress connection means 32 with the hydrogen storage tank 28 and steam egress connection means 36 with the steam turbine 38. The steam turbine 28 has electrical connection means 14 to the batteries 18 for energizing the necessary components of the turbine, as well as, ingress water connection means 50 with the boiler 34 which produces the steam which turns the turbine blades and the steam turbine has egress connection means 52 with a water vapor storage tank wherein the steam, which was used to rotate the turbine blades, is collected through the condenser 40 unit providing a source of potable water 42. The electrical output of the steam turbine can be used as an alternate or primary source of electricity for a structure 44 and can additionally feed any residual electrical output into the municipal power grid 13.
