Obviously, the embodiments described are only a part of the embodiments of the invention and not all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the utility model generally described and illustrated in the figures herein could be arranged and configured in a wide variety of different configurations.Example:This embodiment discloses an apparatus for the direct conversion of water vapor into usable hydrogen energy comprising a water vapor generator 1 and a reactor 2 connected in series via piping.The water vapor generator 1 is used to generate water vapor.The reactor 2 is used for heating, pressurizing and ignition reaction to steam, and then the remaining steam is discharged.The water vapor generator 1 comprises a sealed reaction vessel 11, wherein a water inlet 12 is provided on a bottom side of the reaction vessel 11 and a water vapor outlet 13 is provided on a top side of the reaction vessel. Valves 14 are provided at the water inlet 12 and at the water vapor outlet 13. An electric heater 15 is arranged inside the reaction vessel 11 and a vacuum outlet 16 is located on the top side.Before using the water vapor generator 1, a sufficient amount of pure water is first injected into the reaction vessel 11 through the water inlet 12, and then the residual air in the reaction vessel 11 is exhausted through the vacuum outlet 16 to prevent the air from impairing the purity of the water vapor. Subsequently, the water in the reaction vessel 11 is heated by the electric heater 15, and the generated water vapor is introduced into the reactor 2 through the water vapor outlet 13 to react.The reactor 2 comprises a drive unit 21 and a reaction chamber 22.On both sides of the top of the reaction chamber 22, an air inlet 221 and an air outlet 222 are respectively disposed, and on the air inlet 221 and the air outlet 222, an air inlet piston 223 and an air outlet piston 224 are respectively disposed. An igniter 225 is disposed on the top surface of the reaction chamber 22.At the bottom of the reaction chamber 22, a compression piston 226, a rotating shaft 227 and a crank connecting rod 228 are disposed. The drive unit 21 is used to drive the rotating shaft 227 and reciprocate the compression piston 226 through the crank connecting rod 228 to compress the water vapor in the reaction chamber 22.The operation of the reaction chamber 22 includes: an intake stroke, a pressurization stroke, a reaction stroke, and an exhaust stroke.As shown in FIG. 5, the rotating shaft 227 continuously rotates clockwise under the action of the driving unit 21. During the intake stroke, the compression piston 226 drops downwardly, driven by the crank pushrod 228. At this time, the air inlet piston 223 opens and water vapor enters the reaction chamber 22 through the air inlet 221.As shown in FIG. 6, the crank connecting rod 228 drives the compression piston 226 while the rotating shaft 227 continues to rotate. As a result, the water vapor sucked into the reaction chamber 22 is compressed, thereby creating a high-pressure state.As shown in FIG. 7, the igniter 225 is started after the high pressure state is established to perform the ignition operation and generate a high temperature. At this time, the water vapor reacts rapidly under the action of high temperature, high pressure and ignition to produce hydrogen peroxide and hydrogen. At this time, the superoxide and hydrogen expand and enable the compression piston 226 to perform work, converting the hydrogen energy into kinetic energy.As shown in FIG. 7, the air outlet piston 224 opens and simultaneously the compression piston 226 rises to discharge the remaining water vapor through the air outlet 222.The reactor 2 is equipped with a plurality of reaction chambers 22. The reactor 2 is equipped with an air intake manifold 23 connected to the water vapor outlet 13. The air inlet 221 of each reaction chamber 22 is connected to the air intake manifold 23. The reactor 2 is also equipped with a main gas outlet duct 24. The air outlet 222 of each reaction chamber 22 is connected to the main gas outlet pipe 24, and the reaction product is transported to the purification component 3 through the main gas outlet pipe 24.The drive unit 21 includes a motor 221, a drive gear 212, and a transfer gear 213, the drive gear 212 rotates synchronously with the output shaft of the motor 211, and the transfer gear 213 rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 227.After the motor 211 rotates, it drives the rotating shaft 213 via the drive gear 212 and the transfer gear 213, and thereby drives the compression piston 226 to create a high-pressure environment. The high pressure environment only needs to be implemented at the initial stage of device operation. During subsequent operation, the device can ensure, by connecting a plurality of reaction chambers 22, that each reaction chamber 22 is located in a high-pressure environment and energy is thus saved.The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, but the scope of the utility model is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art familiar with the art of the utility model disclosed within the technical scope of the utility model should fall within the scope of the utility model to equivalently replace or change according to the technical solution of the utility model and its utility model concept.
