The development of a hydrogen and oxygen photoelectrolyzer-generator, powered by the light energy,
of an electric vehicle’s interior lamp, which allows the fuel cell of an electric vehicle to be charged
around the clock and continuously for its non-stop movement, is an important step in replacing
conventional transport with an economical electric vehicle. The article presents a developed
photoelectrolyzer-generator, powered by the light energy of an electric car interior lamp, producing
pure hydrogen and oxygen, which charges the fuel cell of an electric car around the clock, leading it to
non-stop operation. Horizontally located on the bottom of developed photoelectrolyzer-generator
electrodes, separated from each other by a thin membrane, made from fire hose material, the gap
between which is regulated by a special device in the developed photoelectrolyzer-generator, permit
during the process of the electrolysis of ordinary water, continuously supplied to the photoelectrolyzergenerator,
to produce pure gases of hydrogen and oxygen. Round-the-clock production of oxygen and
hydrogen in the photoelectrolyzer-generator and therefore round-the-clock continuous charging of the
fuel cell of an electric vehicle for its non-stop movement is ensured by using lamp as an electrical load
for the photoelectrolyzer-generator, including an LED with a daylight charger, which allows, in an
energy-saving way, during the operation of the photoelectrolyzer-generator, to alternately illuminate
the photoelectrolyzer-generator with the electric vehicle interior lamp, and when the electric vehicle
interior lamp is turned off, by an LED, powered by the battery charged during operation of the electric
vehicle interior lamp.
