Abstract: A system and method for generation of energy from renewable energy sources and consumption of said energy, where appropriate, to produce hydrogen. An overall systems approach improves efficiency by controlling electricity generation over a wider range of conditions, and by controlling the electric conversion to that required by the hydrogen converter much more efficiently, than a collection of independent systems. The approach employs an overall systems controller which dynamically optimizes the complete system to maximize the available inputs, such as renewable and stored energy, while providing the maximum desired outputs, such as power, hydrogen and income, taking into account the ultimate capacity of components along with historical, current and predicted future data.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine with a novel system of rotary valves is disclosed. A conventional engine has a pair of hollow tube rotary valves for each head, one tube being employed as an intake and the other tube as an exhaust. Slots are strategically placed around the circumference of each hollow tube. Each slot has a corresponding port located in the engine cylinder head and the slot passing over this port has a temperature and wear resistant seal that utilizes a wave spring (similar to an oil ring) to compensate for wear. The tubes are sealed on one end which is rotated from the crankshaft using a timing belt mechanism. The opposite end of each tube is fitted into a machined port in the cylinder head for conduction of gases. A carburetor or fuel/air control device is connected to the intake stationary port of the cylinder head. The exhaust system is connected directly to the cylinder port by the exhaust tube. The tubes are sealed to this stationary part with sealing rings.
