A low cost, low part count, high efficiency thermodynamic DC Generator. |
Economic characteristicsA higher efficiency lower cost replacement for gasoline powered generators to recharge electric batteries for electric automobiles and trucks. Cheaper than AC Generators. Hydrogen capable at 75% efficiency. 100 times cheaper than comparable sized Fuel Cell stack. $100 per 1 kilowatt capacity vs $10,000 per kilowatt capacity. Economically viable zero pollution mobile car engine. So cheap it is immediately competitive with gasoline powered cars.
|
Physical characteristicsSmaller, lighter engine than 4 stroke engines used in AC generators. Smaller electrical components than AC generators. No efficiency penalty for lower speed operation. Very few moving parts compared to an AC Generator. A "Natural" DC generator, not a rectified AC Generator, no high current rectifier cost, reliability issues or losses. Thermodynamically cooled. |
