This invention concept pertains to an automobile, that is electric, with electric motors, that is extremely efficient, that has a high-voltage battery, that can provide at least 1,000 miles per charge, if there is no hydrogen in the vehicle, however also, there is a hydrogen fuel cell that has a hydrogen tank, that can provide an additional 2,000 miles of travel, per fuel tank fill, so the vehicle can travel for up to 3,000 miles or more, with a single charge to the batteries, and then the fuel cell charging the batteries and providing current for the electric motors, as well. The vehicle would use advanced brakes that convert the braking to electric generation, to convert the centrifugal force to electricity, when braking, to electronically stop the vehicle, without actual brakes, and instead invert the motors, to provide electricity while the motors slow or stop the vehicle, based on how the brake pedal is applied.
A more advanced version of this vehicle could be the collection of the water created from the exhaust, and through the usage of a solar cell, would recycle the water, and break it down into hydrogen, again, to recharge the hydrogen tank, giving off oxygen, as an exhaust, as a hydrogen catalyst engine.
Another version of this vehicle could be an automobile that has a hydrogen combustion engine, as well as a fuel cell, that can provide additional momentum from the hydrogen, for added speed, such as in a racing vehicle.
Another version of this vehicle could be a vehicle that has a tank of water, that is filtered internally, that through using an efficient process of electrolysis, converts the water into hydrogen and oxygen, which could both be stored in separate tanks, that could both be used for a combustion engine, while the hydrogen could also be used with a fuel cell, that could convert the hydrogen into electricity, by pulling oxygen from the atmosphere, or by using the oxygen from the oxygen tank, to re-combine the hydrogen and oxygen into water, to produce electricity.
Another technology that could be employed on a similar vehicle technology, would be to have heat collection technologies that would collect heat from the environment, used to produce electricity through thermocouples, such as a thermocouple array technology on the body of the vehicle, and even a thermocouple engine housing technology, that would collect the heat from a combustion engine, and convert the heat into electricity, such as to charge batteries that could be used to power the vehicle, including through the electrolysis from the water and the fuel cell from the hydrogen, to reproduce the electricity and the water.
An efficient engine technology that can manage the closed loop system, with added electricity gathering capabilities from the various components of the engine technologies or the environment, could provide a vehicle that could provide endless travel, theoretically, if the environment is hot enough to produce enough electricity.
Additionally, there could be a technology that is both a thermocouple array and a solar array, to not only collect the heat and produce electricity from it, however, also collect light from the environment, and use the light with a photovoltaic cell, to produce electricity, as well. This could be accomplished by either creating a thermocouple array that is behind the photovoltaic array, or an array that is comprised of photovoltaic cells that are in a crosshatch grid with thermocouple cells, that are tiny like a pixel on screen, that have electrical connections through nanocircuitry or microcircuitry.
Additional power could be harnessed from photovoltaic cells or from thermocouple cells, through light magnification or heat condensing technologies, that focus specific components of light onto and in different ways, to different electronic micro components.
There are other types of chemicals, such as liquid sodium, that could be used in a closed-loop system, that may more efficiently transport energy, however none possibly as efficient and popularly and widely available as the conversions described above, that are mostly non-toxic. Hydrogen is flammable, so it is critical to develop a fuel tank, that for example, cannot be “detonated” by a “laser blast” from a “satellite” or “spacecraft” or “radio frequency tower”, based on classified military documentation and even public concerns about using hydrogen as a fuel. Additionally, the fueling nozzle needs to be sealed, until it is inserted, securely, to fuel the hydrogen tank, and additionally, no hydrogen fuel can leak out, while the fueling is occurring, or otherwise, such that the fuel tank cannot be opened with any tools, or opened through any electronic overrides, or through any other processes.
The hydrogen fuel tank should be both mechanical, however also monitored by extremely low-voltage sensors, or a sensor type that does not interact with the hydrogen fuel, itself, such as a sensor that is outside of the fuel tank housing, to determine the cut-off point. There should be communication between the vehicle and the tank, and the vehicle and the fueling station, to provide an optimum level of fueling, however not to over-fill the tank, and the tank filling should also be monitored based on a PSI level of feedback from the tank, to ensure that, mechanically, and also based on the pressure levels, that the tank is not overfilled. The vehicle or the fuel tank itself should communicate with the fueling station, so the fueling station can determine what PSI rating the fuel tank has, so the fuel tank is not filled above the recommended PSI rating.
There should also be a vacuum system at the filling station, that sucks out and recycles all potential “spill-off” from the filling nozzle, to make sure that there is no hydrogen fuel left in the fueling nozzle, which will completely eliminate all potentials for fires around the fueling area, however still ensuring that there is no smoking allowed around the fueling area, which should be displayed properly, and monitored with electronics, including for leaks, at all times, by sophisticated electronic sensors, that sound an alarm and voice response if any of the security procedures are violated in the fueling area.
The hydrogen fuel lines, since they would have compressed gas in them, should have an automatic electronic, and fuel cutoff system, that would both electronically seal the fuel lines, and also mechanically and based on a pressure release detection, seal off the fuel tank, if the fuel lines are cut or damaged, from within the hydrogen fuel tank. Additionally, the fuel lines should be protected within the heavy chassis of the vehicle, so they are never exposed in an accident. There should also be a fuel extinguishing system that can put out a fire if the hydrogen fuel leaks out, such as from the fuel lines, or if the tank leaks.
Hydrogen fuel tanks must also be tested, with all of these technologies, to be a sealed system, in it of themselves, by testing the tanks in a wide variety of ways, to ensure that the tanks do not leak fuel if impacted or dropped or damaged, and also the hydrogen fuel tanks must also be certified to be sealed technologies, that have ratings based on their safety, in a wide variety of circumstances and tests that are to be conducted by the relative Automotive Safety and Regulation Bureau, or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the United States of America.
Another technology would be indestructible side panels and engine components, such as a composite metallic material that is lighter than aluminum, however stronger than steel, that can keep or even reform its shape after a direct collision or impact. This new type of metal could also be used in steel structures, such as skyscrapers and other types of buildings. The metal is a type of space age or even foreign planet originating material, that came from space missions to other planets. The metal could even be made into a liquid metal that forms into a solid, permanently, based on its exposure to the air and/or ultraviolet (UV) light.
These indestructible panels would have solar thermocouple array technology on them or in them, such as under a thick clear varnish or thick clear coating of polymers that act as a magnifier, to collect heat and sunlight or other types of light, and convert them to electricity, using the solar thermocouple array technology.
