Single site wind turbine electrical power conversion into hydrogen and oxygen

Abstract

With reference to FIG. 3/3 . This method of my invention is for the conversion of wind power to produce hydrogen and oxygen gases or in their other forms. All the processes are done on one site and all of the equipments are located in body water. Wind turbine farms, located in a body of water (off shore), will produce more electrical power than if they were installed on land (on shore). The Wind Farm electricity generators ( 21 ) convert the energy of the winds into electrical power. This power, through switch, protection devices and other devices, is fed directly to the hydrogen converting plants ( 23 ). Because the wind does not blow at a constant velocity, the electrical power is not constant. However, the hydrogen converting plants ( 23 ) can function in this environment without having precise electrical tolerances. Taking water ( 22 ) from the surrounding area and with the input of electrical power, the hydrogen converting plants ( 23 ) produce hydrogen and oxygen gases. There will be time periods when there is no wind, so there will be no production of both gases. Since the hydrogen is currency energy and can be stored, that presents no problem. So my invention produces hydrogen and oxygen gasses without the use of fossil fuels as the power source.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . The production of hydrogen and oxygen gases comprising of a method, which is more energy efficient and in addition requires no fossil fuel in the production of these gasses: 
 Providing wind farm electricity generators and hydrogen converting equipments in a body of water. Positioning them such that the output of the wind turbine electrical generators are connected directly, through switching, protective and other devices, to the input of the hydrogen converting equipments. Getting water from the surrounding location, the hydrogen converting equipments will produce hydrogen and oxygen gases and it's other forms directly from the output of the wind turbine electrical generators. The gasses can now be stored in various ways e.g. gas or liquid. Whereby, all the equipments are within very close proximity with each other. As such, there can be wind turbine farms located in lakes, seas, rivers etc producing hydrogen and oxygen, ensuring a fuel devoid of fossil fuels. There will no generation of electricity for export through wires.
