TITLE: INTEGRAL SERVOMOTOR GENERATOR-ELEC'TROLYZER
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is directed to an
apparatus for renewable energy conversion directly to
electricity, oxygen, hydrogen fuel and water and the
ability to alternatively function as a means of
propulsion for electric and hydrogen fuel powered
vehicles, according to computer control.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Propeller type windmills require aiming into
the wind and their basic design limits them to small-
scale power according to the size of the propeller and
wind speed rating. Typically they are restricted to
operate within a narrow band of wind speed, beyond which
they are shutdown. They require high towers, gear
mechanisms and electric generators, which contribute to
high costs of energy. Meanwhile they continue to spread
into vast windmill farms allover the world, apparently
considered the best alternative
A fundamental problem with both., solar power
plants and windmill farms is that they rely on cyclical
power coming to them. Despite their high technology
improvement over the years they cannot overcome this
dependence.
Abundant renewable electricity and hydrogen
fuel provided by the subliminal sun's perpetual recycling
of water is a fascinating and inspiring alternative just
at our fingertips. It simultaneously provides us with the
potential for expanding our habitat at least tenfold,
within the atmospheric confines of our planet earth with
plenty of water.
V~hat's even more exiting is that we can achieve
this while at once cleansing the air of po7_lutants caused

atmosphere to contain global warming and f:Looding of the
costal-lowland areas, at-once.
