Title:
RESOURCE TOWER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/019992
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Invented is a Resource Tower that uses water electrolysis to separate out its elemental and purified H2 hydrogen gas and O2 oxygen gas. These gases form a pressurized flow for electricity generation for distribution and transport to heights atop the Resource Tower. Core advancements of this invention are the use of fuel cells at the top of the Resource Tower to electrochemically combine hydrogen gas and oxygen gas to produce electricity, heat, and water. The Resource Tower distributes the electricity, converts heat and water to steam to generate additional electricity for distribution, and ultimately coalesces the steam back to water at a height. The water that falls under acceleration of gravity from atop the Resource Tower is used to generate additional electricity for distribution. In addition to multiple sites of electricity generation for distribution, the purity of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas from water electrolysis is retained and the water resulting from the Resource Tower is purified and potable for distribution.
