Self-generating station fuel for automotive

Self-generating station fuel for automotive: cars, trucks, etc.Based on: Simplicity, ease of maintenance, durability, investment amortization, etc. so that the economic profitability apart from the ecological conscience, is attractive to the consumer.For those, the biggest fears may be: high fuel prices, supply shortages, fuel shortages, etc. But they can have the advantage of having a garage, a basement, etc., where to locate a small installation. Therefore they could make their own green fuel from the hydrolyzation of water.The installation is powered by photovoltaic solar energy. This energy would feed the cell, the electric motor that turns the compressor and a battery for its operation at night if necessary. A small control board would control the level of h2 available stopping production if it were sufficient. The volume of h2 generated would be shown on an LCD display.========== Components: ===========================================* Electrolyzer:A solid oxide electrolyzer cell 1 (SOEC) is a solid oxide fuel cell that operates in regenerative mode to achieve electrolysis of water through the use of a solid oxide or ceramic electrolyte to produce hydrogen gas and oxygen.* Compressor:The pressure ratio in a screw compressor is fixed, this means that the pressure of the compressed air it produces will depend on the length of the element, the screw pitch and the discharge port. Maximum efficiency is achieved when the element pressure ratio matches the working pressure required by an application.One of the advantages of screw compressors over other technologies is that they are generally not equipped with valves and do not have mechanical forces causing imbalance. They can operate with a high shaft speed and combine a high flow rate with compact dimensions. Bearings, on the other hand, are responsible for absorbing the axial force produced by the pressure difference between the air inlet and outlet.Screw compressors operate at lower temperatures than other types of compressors, allowing them to achieve 100% duty cycles. They generate less noise and vibrations and wear less, so their useful life is longer. In addition, they are more reliable, robust and efficient than piston compressors. They also offer better quality air.Hydrogen tank:Due to the small size of hydrogen molecules, they are capable of permeating through different materials, which must be taken into account when designing tanks. Likewise, safety problems that may arise due to possible leaks or in the event of an accident must also be taken. My hydrogen tank design is a Type III. They consist of an internal metallic lining with or without seams in order to prevent hydrogen leakage by diffusion, all covered by a composite material arranged in different directions. The metal part is normally made of aluminum, although it can also be made of steel. If we´ll use carbon fiber as a composite material, we're being able to withstand up to 700 bar. In this case most of the structural load is borne by the composite material. The elimination of thick walls of metallic materials and the greater use of composite materials reduces the weight of these deposits compared to type I and II.
