HYDROGEN POWER SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18416947 titled 'HYDROGEN POWER SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a hydrogen power system that includes a hydrogen engine, a hydrogen tank, and a hydrogen pump. The system is designed to optimize the efficiency of the hydrogen pump by stopping and restarting its operation when needed.
- The system includes a hydrogen engine that runs on hydrogen as an energy source.
- A hydrogen tank is used to store liquid hydrogen.
- A hydrogen pump is responsible for pumping liquid hydrogen from the tank to the engine.
- The hydrogen pump has a sliding part within the tank.
- A controller is used to monitor and control the operation of the hydrogen pump.
- The controller stops the pump when it detects a decrease in efficiency and restarts it after a specified wait time.
Potential Applications: 1. Automotive industry for hydrogen-powered vehicles. 2. Aerospace industry for hydrogen-powered aircraft. 3. Energy production for clean and efficient power generation.
Problems Solved: 1. Optimizing the efficiency of hydrogen pumps. 2. Enhancing the performance of hydrogen-powered systems. 3. Improving the overall sustainability of energy systems.
Benefits: 1. Increased efficiency in hydrogen power systems. 2. Reduced energy consumption. 3. Lower environmental impact due to the use of clean energy sources.
Commercial Applications: Hydrogen power systems can be utilized in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, and energy production for sustainable and efficient power generation.
Questions about Hydrogen Power Systems: 1. How does the hydrogen pump optimize efficiency in the system? 2. What are the potential environmental benefits of using hydrogen power systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
A hydrogen power system includes a hydrogen engine that operates using hydrogen as an energy source, a hydrogen tank that stores liquid hydrogen, and a hydrogen pump that pumps up the liquid hydrogen from the hydrogen tank and outputs it to the hydrogen engine, A hydrogen pump, a part of which slides within the hydrogen tank, and a controller, and the controller stops driving the hydrogen pump when it is determined that the efficiency of the hydrogen pump is decreasing, and then, after a prescribed wait time has elapsed, the hydrogen pump is driven again.
