Abstract
Systems, apparatuses and methods in interoperating with multiple clean energy sources, such as pneumatic energy, electrical energy, hydrogen energy and steam energy, with engine configurations employing theses clean energy sources dynamically and synchronously. Further embodiments including fossil fuel energies.
Claims23
A modular multiple clean energy engine comprising:
- a plurality of cylinders, wherein each said cylinder is configured to receive and combust a respective clean energy source,
- said respective clean energy source being selected from the group consisting of hydrogen gas, compressed gas and externally generated steam, said clean energy source driving respective pistons, said respective pistons coupled to a transmission;
- and
- a processor, said processor configured to coordinate the release of said hydrogen gas, said compressed air, and said externally generated steam to respective cylinders,
- wherein said processor selectively operates to provide power to said engine from at least two of said plurality of cylinders acting substantially in unison.
2 more elements
A multiple clean energy power system for generating clean energy, comprising:
- an engine, said engine having a plurality of cylinders,
- wherein each of said cylinders comprises respective inputs to selectively admit therein a respective clean energy source,
- said respective clean energy source being selected from the group consisting of hydrogen gas, compressed air, and externally generated steam;
- and
- an engine processor, said engine processor configured to run said engine in a respective mode, wherein said respective mode is where each of said plurality of cylinders are driven only by a given one of said respective clean energy source.
2 more elements
A method for utilizing multiple clean energy generation sources, said method comprising:
- injecting, in respective inputs of respective cylinders, a respective clean energy source,
- each said respective cylinder configured to selectively admit said respective clean energy source, said clean energy source selected from the group consisting of hydrogen gas, compressed air, and externally generated steam, and
- controlling, by an engine processor, said energy processor operating to selectively provide a clean energy source to respective inputs to said respective cylinders.
