Abstract
An energy system having a) one or more catalyst sources which store a catalyst; b) one or more water sources which store water; c) one or more heat sources which store a heat storage medium; d) one or more reaction chambers into which the water, the catalyst, and the heat storage medium are introduced, which are configured for an exothermic reaction between the catalyst and the water to take place while in the presence of the heat storage medium, and in which steam is generated from the exothermic reaction; and f) one or more turbines downstream of the one or more reaction chambers which are adapted to be driven by the steam generated within the one or more reaction chambers.

An energy system comprising:
- a) one or more catalyst sources which store one or more nanoparticles;
- b) one or more water sources which store water;
- c) one or more heat sources which store a heat storage medium;
- d) one or more reaction chambers into which the water, the one or more nanoparticles, and the heat storage medium are introduced, which are configured to house an exothermic reaction which takes place when the one or more nanoparticles and the water are in a presence of the heat storage medium, and in which steam is generated from the exothermic reaction;
- and
- e) one or more turbines downstream of the one or more reaction chambers which are adapted to be driven by the steam generated within the one or more reaction chambers;
- and
- wherein the energy system is integrated into a vehicle.
A vehicle having:
- a) an energy system including:
- i) one or more catalyst sources which store one or more nanoparticles;
- ii) one or more water sources which store water;
- iii) one or more heat sources which store a heat storage medium;
- iv) one or more reaction chambers into which the water, the one or more nanoparticles, and the heat storage medium are introduced, which are configured to house an exothermic reaction which takes place when the one or more nanoparticles and the water are in a presence of the heat storage medium, and in which steam is generated from the exothermic reaction;
- and
- v) one or more turbines downstream of the one or more reaction chambers which are adapted to be driven by the steam generated within the one or more reaction chambers, wherein the one or more turbines are configured to convert the steam of the exothermic reaction to a mechanical energy;
- b) a power system configured to convert the mechanical energy to an electrical energy, and which includes a generator which is in rotational communication with the one or more turbines;
- and
- c) a drivetrain in communication with the generator of the power system.
A method for creating energy via an energy system comprising the steps of:
- a) dispensing one or more nanoparticles into one or more reaction chambers for creating an exothermic reaction with water to generate heat;
- b) introducing a portion of the heat into a heat storage medium adapted to store thermal energy;
- c) generating steam from the combination of a presence of the heat stored within the heat storage medium, the water, and the one or more nanoparticles;
- and
- d) dispensing the steam at a pre-determined pressure to convert the steam into mechanical energy, and wherein the steam is dispensed into one or more turbines which convert the steam into the mechanical energy;
- and
- wherein the energy system is integrated into a vehicle.
