摘要：A hydrogen gas generation system is provided for use in a mobile vehicle. Themobile vehicle may be for example, a car or truck or other vehicle such as a balloon,dirigible, airship, ship, or boat. The vehicle has an on-board hydrogen generator for

generating hydrogen gas, preferably using an electrolysis process. The hydrogenproduced by the electrolysis process is stored in an on-board hydrogen storage tank.Hydrogen from the storage tank is flowed into a vehicle propulsion system where thehydrogen gas is consumed to provide power to propel the vehicle. An on-board electricalgeneration system provides at least some of the electricity for the electrolysis process.In one example, the vehicle has an on-board electrical generator for providing electricityfor the electrolysis process. The on-board electric generation system may be, forexample, a solar photovoltaic cell system, a wind turbine generator system, or aregenerative braking generator, for example. Depending on the particular electricalgeneration process or processes used, the vehicle may generate hydrogen gas whenmoving, when coasting or braking, or when long-term parked.
