Abstract:
1. A system for storing and converting energy, the system comprising: an electrolyser for splitting water Into hydrogen and oxygen; a hydrogen tank operably coupled to the electrolyser to receive and store hydrogen; an oxygen tank operably coupled to the electrolyser to receive and store oxygen; a first cylinder operably coupled to the hydrogen tank via a first injector-igniter and operably coupled to the oxygen tank via a first valve; a second cylinder operably coupled to the hydrogen tank via a second injector-igniter and operably coupled to the oxygen tank via a second valve; a water driven motor operably coupled to the first cylinder and to the second cylinder; an electric generator operably coupled to the water driven motor; and a controller operably coupled to the first valve, the second valve, the first injector-igniter and the second injector-igniter, wherein the controller operates the first valve, the second valve, the first injector-igniter and the second injector-igniter to introduce and ignite hydrogen and oxygen within the first and second cylinders, and wherein the ignition of the hydrogen and oxygen exerts a pressure force on water in the first and second cylinders to power the water driven motor and drive the electric generator to produce electricity.
