Abstract:
Apparatus to generate electricity, said apparatus comprising:(a) a hot burn chamber,(b) a turbine in said hot burn chamber,(c) a turbine shaft connected to said turbine in said hot burn chamber,(d) an AC generator mounted to said turbine shaft to generate an AC electrical current for use elsewhere,(e) a DC generator mounted to said turbine shaft to generate a DC electrical current,(f) a supply of ethanol fuel,(g) first conduit means to convey said ethanol fuel to said hot burn chamber,(h) a supply of water,(i) an electrolysis tank,(j) second conduit means to convey said water to said electrolysis tank,(k) means to conduct DC current generated by said DC generator to said electrolysis tank thereby to electrolyze water therein to produce hydrogen gas and oxygen gas,(l) second means to pump said hydrogen gas to said hot burn chamber,(m) third means to pump said oxygen gas to said hot burn chamber,(n) whereby ethanol fuel and hydrogen are combusted in said hot burn chamber in the presence of said oxygen, thereby to drive the turbine in said hot burn chamber and to turn said turbine shaft, and thereby operate said AC generator and said DC generator.
