Abstract
According to the present disclosure, the system includes a plurality of liquid-hydrogen-producing balloon stations that form a total network for distributing liquid hydrogen, and said balloon stations in the network are positioned at the nearest of said target areas of use, substantially above the latter, such that the transfer of the liquid hydrogen between said production balloon stations and said target areas of use is minimal.
Claims14
A global system for distributing energy such as liquid hydrogen obtained and stored from a balloon station located in altitude, on top of cloud layers, and converting a water supply on board said balloon station into liquid hydrogen from sun radiation, comprising
- a plurality of balloon stations for producing liquid hydrogen forming a global distribution network of liquid hydrogen in the direction of use target areas of said liquid hydrogen, wherein said balloon stations in network are positioned as close as possible to said use target areas, substantially on top of the latter, so that the transfer of liquid hydrogen between said production balloon stations and said use target areas is minimum.
