APOLLO ENERGY SYSTEMS, INC.

OPERATION OF THE APOLLO^™ POWER PLANT

The Apollo^™ Power Plant operates as a Parallel System in a house, farm or commercial establishment with the Lead Cobalt Battery supplying power directly to the DC to AC Inverter 24-hours a day and the Apollo^™ Fuel Cell charging the battery.  The battery can supply excess power to the grid during peak hours at the command of the electric utility company which controls this function.

A Photovoltaic Cell operates in daylight hours and supplies power to a Battery Conditioner or an Electrolysis Unit for generating hydrogen.  This is an optional device which may be used to enhance the system operation.

The Apollo^™ Fuel Cell charges the battery at various rates of charge throughout the day and night, but may be shut down part of the day and all night, as controlled by the Microprocessor.    It can also supply power to the grid during peak hours, by-passing the battery.

A Silver Volt Electric Vehicle contains an Apollo^™ Power Plant which may also supply power to the grid during peak hours by plugging into a special receptacle.

The Apollo^™ Power Plant can be utilized in an infinite number of ways, depending on its size.  Five sizes, Models 101-B, 102-C, 104-C, 115-C and 127-C, have been designed so far to handle different situations for various customers.   Other combinations of fuel cell and battery can be designed for other applications.

One operating scenario for Model 101-B is shown below.   It supplies 51.6 kWh per day to a large house and 48 kWh a day to the grid, for a total supply of 99.6 kWh.    (Its maximum capacity is 276 kWh per day).

Supply to large house:

100-amps x 1-hour       =         100 ampere hours
    5-amps x 23 hours   =         115 ampere hours

            Total                             215 ampere hours x 240 volts         = 51.6 kWh

Additional supply to the grid:

40-amps x 5 hours    =            200 ampere hours x 240 volts          = 48.0 kWh

                                                415 ampere hours                           =   99.6 kWh

Average charging rate for Fuel Cell when charging battery:

19-amps x 24 hours x 288-volts (on-charge battery voltage)                       = 131.33 kWh
(to replace 415 ampere hours:   415 + 41 = 456 a.h. [456 a.h. x 288-volts = 131.33 kWh]

DAILY FUEL CONSUMPTION FOR FUEL CELL IS 131.33 kWh IN THIS EXAMPLE AND CAN BE SUPPLIED BY VARIOUS FUELS AS SHOWN ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES.

MODEL 101-B COULD SUPPLY UP TO 276 kWh OF POWER PER DAY.
