Description
TITLE: SHORELINE HYDROGEN DELIVERY ROBOTIC SHUTTLE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is directed to a shoreline hydrogen-delivery robotic shuttle, providing a means to deliver large quantities of liquefied hydrogen from a mother ship "intensified radial wave-wind energy vessel"
operating in high wave and wind energy areas of the oceans and hydrogen depots with electric energy conversion generators specifically adapted for the purpose along the shorelines of the oceans.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The quest for the transition from dwindling fossil fuels and their pollution effects on the environment to clean renewable energy alternatives, such as solar, wind and wave energy, has been a long and costly challenge.
From one perspective viewpoint, solar energy is cyclical in nature. Days, nights, cloudy periods, winter, installation costs, etc., all contribute to the cost efficiency formula.
Windmills and windmill farms, although they can operate day and night, rely on the abundance of wind energy, which is also cyclical in nature and changes with the seasons, leaving them idle or operating at low output most of the time. Then we have wave energy harnessing stations along the shorelines, which like solar energy have a daily tide cycle and like windmills depend on energy coming their way to be cost effective with other energy alternatives. One thing these alternative renewable energy sources also have in common, is that they are vulnerable to hurricane force winds and tidal waves.
Another important aspect of the cost efficiency formula is that in nature, everything is relative. From the above brief interpretations, cost efficiency has always played a vital role on investment decisions. Clearly there is an urgent need for the transition from dwindling and environment polluting fossil fuels to renewable clean energy, at reasonable costs, The present solar, wind and wave energy technologies do not fulfill to the potential of an eventual transition from fossil fuels to abundant and inexpensive renewable energy.
The installation of solar, wind and wave power generators inland, are costly, maintenance intensive, unreliable and subject to the inconsistencies of mother nature. Thus it is necessary to look at other potential alternatives with cost-effectiveness in consideration.
Applicant's previously filed application describes intensified radial wave-wind energy harnessing to harness energy from waves and wind at once from any direction. It is specifically configured to exploit the highest wave-wind energy areas in the oceans according to the seasons and convert the harnessed energy to liquefied-hydrogen and to ship it to depots along the shorelines. It consequently has the potential to provide reliable abundant inexpensive renewable energy and provide a viable alternative for an eventual transition from dwindling fossil fuels.
This concept also provides a vehicle for the colonization of the oceans at a small fraction of the costs of outer-space stations. They can readily provide scientific and tourism recreation facilities, readily accessible by cruise ships. They too can provide a base for important research. Most importantly, these hurricane force dwarfing wave-wind harnessing stations can send liquefied hydrogen to shoreline storage and electric power generating stations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a shoreline hydrogen-delivery robotic shuttle, that according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention combines a submersible large scale circular-elliptical reinforced concrete vessel adapted to transport liquefied hydrogen and to shuttle between a liquefied hydrogen producing mother ship operating in the oceans and liquefied hydrogen depots along the shorelines.
Another object is to provide a submersible vessel having high-pressure compressed air pumping systems, and high volume low-pressure water pumps to provide a means for precise submersion control and vessel docking purposes.
Still another object is to provide fuel cells as means to provide for electrical power requirements, including propulsion power.
A still further object is to provide an electric motor driven high-volume high-pressure centrifugal water pump for propulsion, having a turning nozzle driven by an encoded servomotor for precise navigation and docking purposes.
Yet another object is to provide a basic submersible vessel that can be adapted for scientific research, as a tourist recreation vessel, and other applications related to an eventual colonization of the oceans.
Another object is to provide a stainless steel concentric plate with latching mechanisms for the robotic shuttle and liquefied hydrogen safety valve couplings for the safe loading and unloading of the hydrogen cargo.
Still another object is to provide a variety of contemporary technologies such as data transceivers, global positioning systems, video cameras, radar, inertial-navigation and others, as a means to ensure safe remote operation control with satellites and the Internet communications.

Ideally, the reinforced concrete vessel is coated with a colored varnish like paint 16 to provide a minimum possible friction resistance and decoration of the vessel.
FIG. 2 is a cross-section of the robotic shuttle of FIG. 1 to show the location of high-pressure large-volume air compressors 17 for the displacement of water within water ballast cavities 18 and low-pressure high-volume water pumps 19, which serve to pump water in and out of the water ballast cavities as shown by arrows 26 for precise submerging level control and docking assisting. High-volume high-pressure water pump 20 is installed firmly in position within a concentric lower cavity 21 in the vessel, which has a slanting wall of stainless steel shield 22 to slightly deflect water jet propulsion 15 entering the pump shown by arrows 27. Cutouts 23 symbolize reinforcing walls and the concentric walls generally 24, which will eventually be formed according development-required specifications.

and the "intensified radial wave-wind energy vessel" form a link chain of three complementary inventions with the potential for eventually providing a phasing out from dwindling fossil fuels and other forms of less economically viable renewable energy alternative forms, such as inland solar, wind and wave power.
Typically, shoreline hydrogen delivery robotic shuttles, are mass produced by the renewable energy vessel factory-ships, then launched on the water surface and supplied with liquid hydrogen for their trip to the intensified radial wave-wind energy vessels operating in high energy areas of the oceans, according to sophisticated means of precise navigation. Once one of these energy-harnessing vessels has been schedule, the robotic shuttle will aim in its direction and once there submerges.

Typically, the mother ship has a large reserve of liquefied hydrogen and a plurality of robotic shuttles latched in position, ready for launching in any particular direction along the shorelines, at their disposal. Once this request is receive, the particular robotic shuttle unlatches itself and maneuvers out of the mother ship, comes to the surface and aims in the requested direction of the shore line specifically adapted depot, then latches with it for the unloading and returns back after mission accomplished, for another cycle.
From the previous descriptions it will become obvious that the invention presented here, is a complementary part of a three part invention for the harnessing of large-scale wave and wind at once within the oceans, which are in turn a by-product of solar energy, and a means to deliver the liquefied hydrogen to adapted depots along the shorelines.
Another highly important aspect of the present invention is to provide a term of comparison to other alternative renewable energy harnessing concepts; More particularly, the brief explanation of the economic efficiency formula relating to the eventual phasing out form fossil fuels with the other contemporary technologies for solar, wind and waves. That these inventions provide a viable solution far into the foreseeable future and quite possibly the colonization of the oceans, at a very affordable cost.
