first embodiment

o 7 and FIGS. 10, 11, 14, 15 and 23

[0168]One embodiment of the hydrogen generator 1 is illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. The present embodiment utilizes electricity derived from a HOLLOW TURBINE 3, as seen from the left side in FIG. 2, and as seen from the right side as reference number 6 in FIG. 3, and is mounted to a submersible structure 2.

[0169]I contemplate the submersible structure 2 be constructed from reinforced, possibly marine grade, concrete, or other suitable materials, and sufficient in size to accommodate all of the apparatus that comprise the hydrogen generator 1. The submersible structure 2 may be fabricated onshore and towed into place by tug boats, and lowered to its ideal position. The apparatus to be included with the structure, such as turbines, electric generators, and electrolyzers may be assembled and installed onshore as well. As seen in FIGS. 25 and 26 the submersible structure 2 also includes an underwater entrance 129 and 131 that provides access to the st...

Abstract

A self-sustaining, fully automated, hydrogen generator that utilizes the ocean's currents, tides, and water to produce vast amounts of hydrogen and oxygen. Additional electricity may be supplied by locally generated means including offshore wind, offshore geothermal, as well as wave powered generation. Hydrogen is exported as well as the oxygen not consumed by the life support systems. Residue collected from the ocean water purification process is collected and exported for use elsewhere or dispersed locally around the underwater facility. Systems orchestration is achieved by control systems that operate independently of one another with no single point of failure.

Some proposed solutions for commercial development utilize propeller style turbines mounted on the ocean floor, with processing done either underwater or aboard stationary vessels on the surface. Another solution for hydrogen generation involves using a vessel as a wave style electric...
