Re: Idea to provide an energy source for stations on Mars

Here is an idea on how to use the hydrogen fuel cell engine as a stationary power supply. First: mount an engine block on a stationary surface. Next: attach a shaft to where the engine would connect to the drive shaft of the tranny. This shaft would then be connected to a generator (similiar to that found in dams) to create electricity. That is stage one. Stage two would have another device attached to the exhaust that would use the heat along with the build up of pressure in a pressure vessel to turn a vane that would be conneceted to another shaft that would be connected to a generator that would be use to create electricity. Two power sources from one engine.
