Energy Storage System

This invention provides a system for storing surplus electrical energy and for generating electrical energy from such stored surplus as conditions require.The system includes an electrolysis unit wherein surplus electrical energy is utilized to generate hydrogen and oxygen from water. The hydrogen and oxygen are separately stored under pressure. When energy is required from the system the hydrogen and oxygen are reacted to produce super heated steam in an aphodid burner. Steam from the burner is connected directly to a turbine which drives a generator.By a condenser system the exhaust steam from the turbine is condensed into water and a portion of the water reinjected into the aphodid burner to control the temperature of the steam entering the turbine. The other portion of the water from the condenser is being returned to a water storage container for usage to maintain the water level in the electrolysis unit. The system may be arranged to be completely closed
