Description
TITLE: HYDROGEN ROTARY GENERATOR
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is directed to a radially and laterally interfaced self-centering electric motor generator, forming an integral part of a directly interfaced ring-shaped hydrogen rotary combustion engine, capable of the production of electricity and jet propulsion at once.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The perception that some day cars may run on air has been a vision for many years. The reasoning behind it is that moisture is constantly being released into the atmosphere in immense quantities, worldwide from an immense variety of sources, including humans and other animals. Conventional air conditioners condense the moisture in the air into water, which can be used by an electrolyser to produce hydrogen and oxygen for fuel. The combustion of hydrogen combining with oxygen back to water, after having done its work, creates energy.
Essentially, an air conditioner, an electrolyser and an electric generator, is all that is needed to complete the cycle of water to hydrogen and back to water. By converting the sun's energy into abundant electricity and hydrogen we have what it takes to complete this vision, for as long as the sun continues to power the atmosphere.
The need for environmentally clean energy sources is at the very foundation of a global effort to achieve a viable practical alternative to dwindling fossil fuels and environment pollution. Hydrogen has long been recognized the ideal clean form of fuel and electricity the ideal form of energy. The harnessing of the sun in its three basic forms of solar, wind and waves at once, day and night, the exploitation of the highest energy areas in the rivers and the oceans - directly into electricity and hydrogen fuel, is a distinct possibility.
The process of conversion of hydrogen fuel into electricity and torque to suit an immense scope of applications for residential and industrial power plants, transportation in its various forms, is also a distinct possibility according to this vision.
The eventual shifting from polluting fossil fuels technologies into clean hydrogen fuel technologies will obviously take many years to accomplish.
There have been numerous creative attempts at providing reliable alternative solutions to produce power at competitive costs with fossil fuels. Recently, solar power plants and windmill farms have been proposed as a viable alternative. However, they have drawbacks that may preclude them from becoming reliable long term solutions. These drawbacks include their reliance on intermittent energy sources, they clutter the landscape, they are vulnerable to inclement weather, are a threat to wild life, are costly to produce and maintain, rely on the high costs of fossil fuels for their proliferation.
The concepts of the fuel cell and the hydrogen rotary generator of the present invention represent a viable alternative. It is highly desirable to decentralize power generation as far as possible as a means to eliminate the need for power lines throughout the land and within cities. Atomic power plants, hydropower and thermal generation plants have contributed to the proliferation of power lines, which are costly to install and maintain, are a threat to wildlife and a major disruption to the landscape and the environment.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The hydrogen rotary generator according to a preferred embodiment of the invention is a variable speed, brushless, ring shaped electric motor generator having radial and lateral stator electromagnets installed within aluminum alloy complementary enclosing stator covers and permanent magnets installed in a ring shaped aluminum alloy rotor. The rotor is supported radially and laterally by roller bearings during the power off and self-centering during power ON. Electromagnetic fields form a virtual magnetic bearing, sealed watertight by means of a spring loaded Teflon sealing ring. A semi-circular "U" shaped stainless steel cover is press fitted over the stator cover assembly and fitted with a stand to provide electromagnetic field containment and provide support for the hydrogen rotary generator assembly.
A integral ring shaped hydrogen rotary combustion chamber rotor having slated vanes is press fitted into corresponding slots molded into the electric generator's ring shaped rotor inner face and locked in position by two lateral snap rings.

The rotary combustion engine stator is interfaced to a lateral stainless steel tubing ring shaped manifold with threaded couplings to a plurality of individual combustion chamber ports. Each manifold coupling has a stainless steel spring loaded sphere check valve to ensure proper distribution of hydrogen fuel and water injection mixture to prevent flame from entering the manifold fuel source. The hydrogen and water supply is computer controlled according to specific interface inputs by servo valves. A plurality of spark plugs also coupled to the same side of the combustion chamber are interfaced to an ignition manifold formed from stainless steel tubing having threaded couplings for each combustion chamber spark plug and a high voltage wire inside for the spark plugs to fire all at once. The combustion exhaust ports are located at the opposite side of the fuel and ignition manifolds and are optionally connected into a ring shaped manifold or, for discharge directly into the atmosphere, or for air and jet engine like operation means of propulsion, depending on application. A ring shaped air intake shutter valve provides a means to control the airflow displaced by the propeller and a radially pivoted shutter provides control of the exhaust mixture for operation of the hydrogen rotary generator to function simultaneously as an electric generator and a jet propulsion engine that combines the ignition of hydrogen fuel with the moisture in the air to achieve jet propulsion.
The variable speed, brush-less electric motor generator operates self-centered by a virtual electromagnetic bearing while on power ON operation. The hydrogen combustion rotor is also self-centering by firing on all cylinders at once. The radial and lateral support roller bearings are common to both the rotary generator and combustion engine rotors in the power OFF

The hydrogen combustion rotor is also self-centering by firing on all cylinders at once. The radial and lateral support roller bearings are common to both the rotary generator and combustion engine rotors in the power OFF
mode of operation. Hydrogen and distilled water being a clean fuel, makes the hydrogen rotary generator very desirable and a reliable source of energy up to very large scales for a very wide scope of potential applications, worldwide.
The hydrogen rotary combustion engine according to the embodiment of the present invention has fuel and ignition manifolds that are adapted to fire all chambers at once. Radial and tangential forces are generated as the hydrogen fuel is ignited by the spark plugs and the heat evaporates the water mixture into hot steam to cool down the engine. As the gas expands the tangential force, forces the rotor chamber to react against the stator chambers and to turn clockwise, and the hot gas to be exhausted through the respective exhaust ports in line, as it prepares for the next cycle. A simple and logical operation process machine, in which the speed can be precisely computer controlled and the output voltage frequency provide a precise reference to fire the spark plugs, the timing of the hydrogen fuel and water servo valves. The air intake and exhaust control valves are also computer controlled to complement harmony of operation with reference to other transducers such as temperature, exhaust speed, power output and the like as deemed necessary.
