HC - an Hydrogen Canister
Posted by Tsert.Com
This is the description of an hydrogen canister for vehicles
with an hydrogen combustion engine; as well as for backup power
generators (patent
pending).
It is a fully enclosed block of metal, built like a thermos, with an
embedded aperture for the hydrogen extraction and refilling interface,
where the metal does most of the containment work.

The hydrogen canister is used to fuel a combustion engine, which runs
only on hydrogen. It is used as either, as a fuel-reserve for an
hydrogen powered generator; that you can run inside your home -- the
result of the combustion is water. Particulates from the engine are
kept to a mininum.
The canister is made of one solid block of high-strength metal, and has
built-in interstices to allow cool air or coolant to flow. The
interstices are designed for free flow. The canister has a single
interface at the top. The interface is able to lock in the close
position, when the pressure level reaches a critical level. The
pressure sensor is a mechanical one. The ratio of metal to hydrogen
load of a canister may be 2/3, 3/4, or 3/5.
With hydrogen-powered cars, the canister is cooled with
air-conditioning type coolant, that is made to flow within the
interstices.The canister is encased in an enclosure, which doubles as
the coolant reservoir. The current air-conditioning setup found in most
cars, is redesigned, rerouting the coolant source to the enclosure. The
enclosure, has space for 3-5 canisters, depending on the load of
hydrogen required, to travel 300-500 Kms. The entire setup does not
exceed 160 Kilograms. The enclosure has several heat-proofing layers;
and does most of the work of interfacing with the canisters, and
extracting the hydrogen, to feed it to the fuel injector, into the
engine.
The enclosure requires little power to get coolant to flow inside the
interstice of every canister.
