20150337729 | MULTI-STAGED THERMAL POWERED HYDRIDE GENERATOR - An electric generator is driven by a gas turbine by using the impelling power of subatmospheric pressure hydrogen/deuterium released from hydrogen storage alloy contained in a first container and heated by indirect heat exchange with a heating medium while reabsorbing the hydrogen discharged from the gas turbine in a second hydrogen storage alloy contained in a second container and cooled by indirect heat exchange with a cooling medium. Alternately switching heating and cooling media contact with the hydride alloys maintains hydrogen gas flow as it is the pressure differential between the inlet pressure and the outlet pressure that is performing the work. Great volumes of hydrogen throughput, at subatmospheric pressures, operate the turbine. Electric energy is continuously and efficiently obtained from the electric generator. The principles can also be applied to other metal hydrides devices, e.g., pumps, compressors etc. | 11-26-2015 |
