  • Patent number: 11767603
    Abstract: A modular system for hydrogen generation includes a plurality of cores and a hub. Each core includes an electrolyzer and a power supply. The power supply is operable to manage electrical power to the electrolyzer of the core and is redundant to the power supply of at least another one of the plurality of cores. The hub includes a water module, a heat exchange module, and a switchgear module. The water module includes a water source in fluid communication with the electrolyzer of each one of the plurality of cores, the heat exchange module includes a heat exchanger in thermal communication with the electrolyzer of each one of the plurality of cores, and the switchgear module includes a switch activatable to electrically isolate the power supply of each one of the plurality of cores.

  • Patent number: 5814900
    Abstract: A device in the form of a transformer for transmitting electrical energy is comprised of a core of a ferromagnetic material and a primary coil and a secondary coil wound about the core. At least one receiver in the form of an areal antenna and at least one sender in the form an areal antenna are arranged in the direct vicinity of the primary and secondary coils for a contact-free transmittal of changing signals. The receiver and the sender are connected interchangeably to receiving and sending electronics devices, whereby the receiver and the sender form a constructive unit with the primary coil, the secondary coil, and optionally the core. The device allows the simultaneous transmittal of electric energy between components that are adjustable relative to one another as well as the transmittal of changing signals. The power transmittal in the kilowatt range is only limited by the respective constructive size of the device. A high data transmittal rate of analog or digital changing signals is possible.

  • Patent number: 5517400
    Abstract: In a method for controlling rectifiers of an inductive element for reversible energy transmission first rectifiers are connected to a primary circuit of the inductive element and second rectifiers are connected to a secondary circuit of the inductive element. The first and the second rectifiers are switched in a constant timing ratio. The first rectifiers are controlled by a central signal source with a constant frequency. The second rectifiers are constant frequency. The signals derived from the changing potential at the inductive element. With this method it is possible to provide a control of the rectifiers such that they are switched depending on one another without being directly connected to one another.
