Abstract:
1. A method for generating mechanical energy, comprising the steps of: storing first water in a first fuel-cell and a first pressure equalization device; storing second water in a second fuel-cell and a second pressure equalization device; electrolyzing the first water stored in the first fuel-cell into first hydrogen gas and first oxygen gas; displacing the first water stored in the first pressure equalization device with the first hydrogen gas and the first oxygen gas; feeding the displaced first water to a hydraulic device to drive the hydraulic device in a forward direction to produce mechanical energy; and then recombining the first hydrogen gas and the first oxygen gas, the recombining suctioning the first water from the first pressure equalization device into the first fuel-cell to drive the hydraulic device in a backward direction to produce additional mechanical energy and potential electric energy; electrolyzing the second water stored in the second fuel-cell into second hydrogen gas and second oxygen gas, while recombining the first hydrogen gas and the first oxygen gas; displacing the second water stored in the second pressure equalization device with the second hydrogen gas and the second oxygen gas; feeding the displaced second water to the hydraulic device to drive the hydraulic device in the backward forward direction to produce the mechanical energy; and recombining the second hydrogen gas and the second oxygen, the recombining suctioning the second water from the second pressure equalization device into the second fuel-cell to drive the hydraulic device in the forward backward direction to produce additional mechanical energy potential electric energy, while electrolyzing the first water.
