HYDROGEN POWERED THERMAL MASS OVEN- (THINK LIGHT BULB DESIGN) 1. Using hydrogen engines to generate electricity to heat large tungsten hot plates set beneath steel boilers (100' high x 20' in diameter) which boilers will be stood upright in a boiler room, which will be totally encased in a cement blockhouse. (think "light bulb") 2. The blockhouse will have two vacuum sealed, insulating walls on the outside to effectively trap heat produced within. 3. The blockhouse will have steam pipes in the walls and ceiling, to allow the collecting and distribution of hat throughout the structure. 4. The boiler room will also be flooded with inert argon gas to aid heat transfer, and limit oxidation. 5. Hydrogen engines will be used to generate electricity. This will be used to heat tungsten hot plates beneath the individual boilers, to superheat steam in the boilers. The remaining heat will become trapped within The Thermal Mass Oven, 6. Thus, the heating the entire structure to from 1200-1600 degrees Fahrenheit, will allow the system to coast for hours on the latent heat trapped within the structure. 7. Some of the electricity produced will be used for electrolysis, splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen gases, for use in the hydrogen engines needed to generate electrical power for the tungsten hot plates beneath the boilers. A. This can be best accomplished by drilling into the earth and sinking a large pipe to a 4000 ft. depth. and filling it with water, using steam from the hydrogen engines to heat it near 200 degrees, and sending a cable to the bottom, where anode and cathode will split the water into the gases. A pulley system with upside down buckets will catch the gases, producing 8 lbs. per gallon of lift, which could also be used to generate electricity to power the hydrogen engines, or electrolysis process. (Ocean too) 7. The larger the structure the more efficient it will be. This could lead to the using of its own generated electricity to heat the boiler room hot plates, thus making it perpetual in its nature. 1. This Hydrogen Powered Thermal Mass Oven will not generate carbon gases or pollution of any kind. Further, the efficient of heat use will not add much heat to the atmosphere. Making this design the most eco-friendly system possible. 2. The costs of building and running this hydrogen powered thermal mass oven power generation stations will be very little in comparison to modern nuclear, coal and other fossil fuel fired plants. As well as much cleaner and eco-friendly. 3 The ease of building design; and the lack of material costs (just keep recycling the water), will make electrical power readily, and cheaply available across the world. This will: 4. make the prospect of electrically run cars and motorcycles more economically feasible, decreasing heat and pollution produced by these. 5. Allow for the building of large, high speed electro-magnetic trains, that will be capable of carrying cars and trucks across the country, to do their business and deliveries, faster, and in their own vehicles. While cutting down the pollution and heat these cross country trips create. 6. This system could be used to power water desalination plants across the world to address water shortages across the globe. 7. Bringing cheap power to third world nations would allow them a better opportunity to power, educate, and industrialize their nations. 8. This power station was originally developed to be used to power "ocean cooling machines" which are needed to fight the realities of pollution and global warming. A. These large structures will contain many large 20' diameter tubes sunk down into the ocean to a depth of 2000'. In these tubes large props will be used to drag the cold water to the surface, passing it through a screen to aerate it, and ramps to slow its drop back into the depths due to density differences. These will be connected on the bottom using a large bell housing to increase up flow efficiency. B. The platform will contain possibly 100 of these tubes, and could cool as much as 80,000,000 cubic ft. of water, by 5 degree Fahrenheit, per day. C. Thus making the oceans cooler to promote the growth and habitat of phytoplankton. Too increase oxygen production, and carbon sequestering, as well increasing this base food source for the whole ocean, which will not grow and reproduce in warm water. D. Further, this will wash out the acidic, carbon gas pollution that is infiltrating the worlds oceans, and making it hard for zooplankton to form calcium based shells. They eat phytoplankton, and form the entire base of the marine food chain. 9. It is the intent of the author to use these ocean cooling machines to create huge fish farms measuring 100 miles x 100 miles, in the "warm water deserts" across the earth equator. The water there is presently to warm to support sea life. A. I picture 1000's of these 100 miles sq. fish pens to fight global warming, ocean warming, and acidic build up in the oceans. B. This, while increasing food production to help pay for such an endeavor. 10. The power generation/ocean cooling station could be converted to produce ice and dry ice in the Antarctic, and Arctic, to drop into the waters in these areas to fight against the melting of the ice caps.
