Patent ID: 8631653

Claim:
A steam-driven electricity generating system comprising: a salt water portion for producing desalinated water from a salt water source, the salt water portion comprising; a boiler, a high pressure turbine generator and a low pressure steam turbine generator, wherein the salt water portion produces electricity in response to the desalinization process; and a fresh water portion in fluid communication with the salt water portion, the fresh water portion comprising: a water source; a hydrogen storage tank; an electrolysis unit for dividing water at the molecule level releasing hydrogen and oxygen, wherein the hydrogen storage tank stores hydrogen molecules released from the electrolysis unit; a heat exchanger, the heat exchanger having a fuel cell with an electrolyte, wherein the fuel cell produces heat and direct current electricity in response to combining hydrogen from the hydrogen storage tank with the electrolyte; and a steam turbine generator, wherein water from the water source is directed adjacent the heat exchanger, the water is converted into steam in response to heat generated by the fuel cell and the steam is directed to the steam turbine generator to produce alternating current electricity.
