Abstract: This invention uses alternating galvanized steel and perforated aluminum plates to increase the extraction rate of hydrogen from salt water by electrolysis. The galvanized steel plates are wired together to form the anode while the perforated aluminum plates are also wire together to form the cathode around which the hydrogen is extracted. The perforated aluminum also reacts with the sodium hydroxide, produced during electrolysis, to release even more hydrogen from the solution. The myriad of perforations in the aluminum plates creates numerous contact points with the solution so that the electrical current can extract the hydrogen more efficiently from the salt water.

Abstract: This invention uses the rushing air from the forward motion of a vehicle to turn five wind turbines and their generators. Four small turbines and generators are located just behind the front grill and utilize the air entering into the engine compartment to spin the turbines and then the generators. The fifth and larger turbine and generator are located in the rear of the vehicle where air, from four intake vents on the outside of the vehicle, is piped back and directed across the blades of the turbine. Each turbine has a gearbox to increase the rotational speed of the attached generator. The electrical current thus produced from the generators passes through regulators and is used to recharge the storage batteries of the electric vehicle as it travels forward down the road.
