1. A system comprising:
at least one reformer assembly receiving hydrocarbon fuel and outputting hydrogen from a first output and product depleted of hydrogen from a second output separate from the first output outputting hydrogen;
at least one fuel cell receiving hydrogen from the first output of the reformer but not being connected to the second output of the reformer, the fuel cell providing a first energy output and an output of water vapor;
the water vapor being mixed with product from the second output of the reformer to provide a mixture; and
the mixture being directed into a turbine to impart torque to the turbine.
2. The system of claim 1, wherein the mixture further includes a surfactant.
3. The system of claim 1, wherein the output shaft of the turbine is coupled to a generator to cause the generator to output electricity when the output shaft is rotated.
4. The system of claim 1, wherein the turbine propels a vehicle to move.
5. The system of claim 1, wherein the first energy output of the fuel cell is connected to an electric motor and the electric motor is coupled to a rotor coupling of the turbine, the first energy output actuating the electric motor.
6. The system of claim 1, wherein the hydrocarbon fuel is provided to an intake of the turbine in addition to being provided to the reformer.
7. The system of claim 1, wherein the fuel cell is electrically connected to a turbine ignition component to provide ignition energy thereto.
8. A system comprising:
at least one turbine including an output shaft;
at least one fuel cell providing output that is coupled to the turbine so as to impart torque to the output shaft;
at least one reformer receiving hydrocarbon fuel and outputting, from a first output, hydrogen, and from a second output, product depleted of hydrogen separate from the hydrogen from the first output;
the fuel cell receiving hydrogen output by the first output of the reformer but not product output by the second output of the reformer, wherein the fuel cell produces vapor, the vapor being mixed with product depleted of hydrogen output by the reformer to provide a mixture, the mixture being directed to a turbine to impart torque to the turbine.
9. The system of claim 8, wherein the fuel cell is electrically connected to an electric motor to actuate the electric motor.
10. The system of claim 8, wherein fluid or steam produced by the fuel cell is directed to an intake of the turbine.
11. The system of claim 8, wherein the system provides hydrocarbon fuel to an intake of the turbine in addition to providing the hydrocarbon fuel to a reformer supplying hydrogen to the fuel cell.
12. The system of claim 8, wherein the fuel cell is electrically connected to a turbine ignition component to provide ignition energy thereto.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
What is claimed is:
5. A method utilizing interactive television to allow a plurality of user types to access and select options in an electronic classified advertising system comprising the steps of:
accessing said electronic classified advertising system via a single channel;
prompting an electronic classified advertising system user to enter a code on a remote control unit;
determining if the entered code is an advertiser direct access number;
searching for all advertisements in said electronic classified advertising system associated with said advertiser direct access number;
displaying each of said advertisements sequentially;
prompting said advertiser to press a button on said remote control unit in order to indicate satisfaction with a displayed advertisement; and
prompting said advertiser to press a button on said remote control unit to indicate dissatisfaction with a displayed advertisement.
6. A method according to claim 5 wherein said advertiser is connected to a service representative upon indicating dissatisfaction with a displayed advertisement.
7. An interface to enable a plurality of user types to interact with equipment in an electronic classified advertising system said interface comprising:
a television including a screen;
a remote control in electromagnetic communication with said television, said remote control including a plurality of buttons;
said equipment including a computer to provide instructions to said plurality of user types via a single channel, said instructions including:
prompting the user to press one or more predetermined buttons on said remote control to enter an access code;
determining if the entered access code is an advertiser direct access number;
searching for all advertisements in said electronic classified advertising system associated with said advertiser direct access number;
prompting an advertiser to press one or more predetermined buttons on said remote control to control playback of said advertisements;
prompting an advertiser to press a predetermined button on said remote control to indicate satisfaction with said advertisement; and
prompting an advertiser to press a predetermined button on said remote control to indicate dissatisfaction with said advertisement.
8. An interface according to claim 7 wherein said advertiser indicating dissatisfaction includes an automatic connection to a service representative upon said indication.
9. A method for distinguishing among a plurality of electronic classified advertising system users via a single interface comprising the steps of:
having a user call said electronic classified advertising system;
promoting said user to enter a code; and
distinguishing between seller users and buyer users as a function of the code entered.
