System to establish a refueling infrastructure for coming fuel-cell vehicles/marine craft and interim production of gaseous products, power, and inner-city rejuvenation

Abstract

A facility for the generation of electrical power and products for the refueling of vehicles including but not limited to, fuel cell vehicles (FCV's) and marine craft and for use by the facility and / or general market. A host of electrical power generation devices including solar panels, solar collectors, wave action generators, mega capacitors reverse osmosis water purification apparatus, high density capacitor electrolizers, hydrogen / oxygen purifiers and compressors, storage units, fuel cells, AC / DC motors and generators and the various connectors, gauges and networks used for interconnecting and dispensing the products of a combined source system are used jointly and severally in a land / marine readily available site. The idealized site for this combined system is a bridge or other elevated structure such as buildings. The siting structure is most desirably located adjacent a water source, be it a river, bay, tidal estuary or the like. In addition to the generation of DC electrical power, gaseous products such as oxygen and hydrogen may be marketed for their open market value or used in the production of additional power via fuel cell operation are also marketed or use / consumed on site. Unique improvements are made in wind generators, a tidal barge generation system and a wave air generator. Unique improvements are also made in the ability to store energy through use of capacitors.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE1. Technical FieldThe instant disclosure relates, generally, to composite facilities that may be used to refuel non-polluting vehicles and marine craft. Specifically, the disclosure relates to a facility which generates and stores electrical power as hydrogen from a number of non-polluting, renewable sources, such as wind, water and solar sources. Most uniquely, the disclosure is situated in close proximity to and, in large part, on a generally man-made structure such as an industrial facility (possibly vacant), a bridge (possibly abandon), highway overpass system, or even an industrially polluted brown-field, in short, an area open to the sun and wind. Fullest potential of the disclosure is acquired when the facility is co-located adjacent a body of water, preferably moving.2.
