  • Patent number: 8268025
    Abstract: The present invention involves methods and apparatus for supplying hydrogen to a fuel cell to produce electricity. Water may be supplied in the form of steam for input to a catalytic converter. The converter may have a substrate element disposed therein coated with an oxide that may be oxidizable with steam and reducible back to an original state without use of a chemical agent. The steam may be converted to hydrogen and oxygen with the hydrogen channeled to an input and the oxygen channeled to an output of the fuel cell. The hydrogen output of the fuel cell and the oxygen may be combined to produce steam. The steam from the output may be recycled to the converter.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7721681
    Abstract: The present invention involves methods and apparatus for supplying fuel for a hydrocarbon and water hybrid engine. Water may be supplied from a water supply source to a steam chamber disposed with an exhaust conduit. Heat may be conducted from the exhaust conduit to the steam chamber to produce steam. The steam may be flowed to a catalytic converter that may have a substrate element disposed therein with the substrate element coated with an oxide that may be oxidizable with steam and reducible back to the original state without use of a chemical agent while producing oxygen. The steam may be converted to hydrogen and oxygen and the hydrogen and oxygen may be flowed to an intake port of the internal combustion engine. The steam and catalytic converted hydrogen and oxygen may be used as an energy source and the hydrogen and oxygen may be converted to heated water for recycling as a steam source.
