ABSTRACT:
An environment-friendly engine system is characterized by that hydrogen gas that fuels the engine is generated from water by electrolysis and that the electric power for electrolysis is supplied by a fuel cell in a water fuel tank and a leadacid cell connected in parallel with the fuel cell. As the engine system is operating, the fuel cell burns methyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol to generate power for activating water electrolysis that produces hydrogen gas. The hydrogen gas fuels a hydrogen engine, and the steam produced in the engine is used to drive an electricity generator and subsequently a turbine, whereby the electricity is stored in a leadacid cell used together with the fuel cell. Thereby, the engine system is safe to operate and produces no any of the greenhouse gases, truly friendly to the environment.
