Claim:
1. A thermoelectric vehicle system, comprising: a vehicle, wherein said vehicle includes one or more electric batteries and wherein said vehicle includes an air conditioning system; a thermal generator adapted to produce heat through a reaction of nickel powder with hydrogen, wherein said thermal generator is comprised of a reactor chamber, a hydrogen storage tank and a hydrogen injector linking said reactor chamber with said hydrogen storage tank, wherein said thermal generator is further comprised of a gas pressurizer connected between said hydrogen storage tank and said hydrogen injector, wherein said thermal generator is further comprised of a heater and a radio frequency generator, wherein said thermal generator is encased within a thermal enclosure case, said thermal enclosure case including a high density shield, wherein said thermal generator includes an internal fluid loop for transferring heat within said thermal generator; a central control system; an energy conversion system adapted to convert heat generated by said thermal generator into electricity, said energy conversion system being comprised of a first Stirling engine and a second Stirling engine for producing linear motion from heat, a first single-action piston compressor and a second single-action piston compressor for increasing the pressure of a working fluid, a turbine and a rotary electric generator, wherein said first single-action piston compressor is connected to said first Stirling engine and wherein said second single-action piston compressor is connected to said second Stirling engine; a hot fluid circuit for transferring heat from said thermal generator to said energy conversion system; an energy storage system for storing said electricity for powering said vehicle; a cooling system for cooling said energy conversion system; and a cooling circuit linked between said energy conversion system and said cooling system; wherein said thermal generator is thermally linked with said air conditioning system, wherein said cooling circuit is thermally linked with said air conditioning system and wherein said central control system is adapted to direct transfer of at least a first portion of said heat produced by said thermal generator to said air conditioning system for providing hot air to said air conditioning system; wherein said thermal generator is thermally linked with said one or more electric batteries, wherein said cooling circuit is thermally linked with said one or more electric batteries, wherein said central control system is adapted to condition a temperature of said one or more electric batteries using at least a second portion of said heat produced by said thermal generator and at least a portion of a cooling fluid of said cooling circuit to regulate said temperature of said one or more electric batteries.
