Abstract text


This invention provides a means to produce on site Hydrogen to power fuel cells or Hydrogen engines storing the energy in Calcium metal. It continues by using the Calcium hydroxide byproduct of Calcium generated Hydrogen reaction to capture Carbon dioxide from exhaust situations, both moving and stationary as trucks and power plants. This reaction goes to completion with the sedimentation of Calcium carbonate, which may be useful to the cement industry as a component of their products, or it could be used to capture sulfates in stack gas. Either Calcium carbonate or Calcium sulfate may be electrolyzed to recover metallic Calcium, which is not readily available on the market at this time. Solar power, water wheels, resistive gym apparatus, wind power generation of electrical energy as well as unused power from power plants can electrolyze water into Hydrogen and Oxygen. The Hydrogen is passed through and over Calcium carbonate freeing the Calcium as pure metal and releasing as gases water and Carbon dioxide, which, if fed into a greenhouse, will make plants grow rapidly and during daylight, release heavily Oxygenated air from the greenhouse environment. Oxygen can be sold to health, scuba and industrial businesses. These reactions are commercially feasible making Hydrogen propulsion as with a Hydrogen piston engine and fuel cell driving for generating power safer because large amounts of Hydrogen do not have to be carried or on hand during use or down times. Replaceable vessels for both Hydrogen generation and Carbon dioxide capture systems provide viable options for both transportation and stationary Hydrogen consumption applications.
