  • Patent number: 11909079
    Abstract: A fuel cell oxygen delivery system, method, and apparatus for full-scale clean fuel electric-powered vehicle having a fuel cell module including a plurality of fuel cells working together that augments gaseous oxygen from ambient air and gaseous hydrogen extracted from liquid hydrogen by pressure change or heat exchangers, with fuel cells containing electrical circuits configured to collect electrons from the plurality of hydrogen fuel cells to supply voltage and current to motor controllers commanded by control units configured to control an amount and distribution of electrical voltage and torque or current for each of one or more motor and propeller or rotor assembly, wherein electrons returning from the electrical circuits combine with both oxygen derived from air and onboard oxygen from the delivery system to form oxygen ions, then protons combine with oxygen ions to form H2O molecules and heat.

  • Publication number: 20220106060
    Abstract: System and method for fuel-cell and motor trend monitoring including recording signals from fuel-cell and motor system-condition sensors or sets of onboard sensors and periodically analyzing results to examine fuel-cell and motor system performance trends to predict the need for fuel-cell or motor system maintenance. Various analyses can be performed, separately or in parallel, including: comparing the current parameter values with recorded parameter values in previous instances of similar operating conditions; comparing parameter values to predetermined nominal ranges; and detecting sensed parameter values that exceed recommended fuel-cell or motor system operating conditions or that exhibit trends over time that if continued result in exceeding fuel-cell or motor system operating conditions or producing out-of-bound readings.
