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.
Claims26
An energy system comprising:
- 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 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.

A vehicle having:
- a) energy system including:
- i) one or more catalyst sources which store a catalyst,
- ii) on 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 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 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;
- b) a power system configured to convert a mechanical energy to an electrical energy, and which includes a generator;
- 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 a catalyst 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 heat stored within the heat storage medium, the water, and the catalyst;
- 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.
