Abstract

In one embodiment, the method of dispensing hydrogen gas comprises: selecting a hydrogen gas pressure using a pressure selector disposed in operable communication with a hydrogen gas output port, dispensing hydrogen gas at the selected hydrogen gas pressure, ceasing a flow of hydrogen gas to the vessel, and removing the nozzle from fluid communication with the vessel. The nozzle is in fluid communication with a hose and the hydrogen gas output port to form a first outlet disposed in mechanical connection with a mobile platform. In yet another embodiment, the method of dispensing hydrogen gas comprises: producing the hydrogen gas in an electrolysis cell system, activating a hydrogen dispenser, dispensing the hydrogen gas to a vessel, and ceasing a flow of the hydrogen gas to the vessel. The hydrogen dispenser and the electrolysis cell system are on a mobile platform.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method of dispensing hydrogen gas, comprising: 
 selecting a hydrogen gas pressure using a pressure selector disposed in operable communication with a hydrogen gas output port;    disposing a nozzle in fluid communication with a vessel to receive the hydrogen gas;    dispensing hydrogen gas at the selected hydrogen gas pressure;    ceasing a flow of hydrogen gas to the vessel; and    removing the nozzle from fluid communication with the vessel;    wherein the nozzle is in fluid communication with a hose and the hydrogen gas output port to form a first outlet disposed in mechanical connection with a mobile platform.    
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising vertically actuating the first outlet.  
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the selected pressure is about 2,700 psi to about 4,500 psi.  
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the selected pressure is about 3,700 psi to about 6,750 psi.  
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first outlet further comprises a valve, and further comprising actuating the valve.  
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising adjusting a hydrogen gas fill pressure to the selected pressure.  
     
     
         7 . A method of dispensing hydrogen gas, comprising: 
 disposing a first nozzle of a first outlet in fluid communication with a vessel to receive the hydrogen gas, wherein the first outlet comprises the first nozzle in fluid communication with a first hydrogen output port, wherein the first hydrogen output port is in operable communication with a first display panel, and wherein the first nozzle, the first hydrogen output port, the hydrogen gas, and the first display panel, are on a mobile platform;    dispensing the hydrogen gas;    ceasing a flow of the hydrogen gas to the vessel; and    removing the nozzle from fluid communication with the vessel.    
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising dispensing additional hydrogen gas from with a second outlet, and wherein the first outlet and the second outlet are dispensing hydrogen gas at different fill pressures.  
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein a first outlet pressure is about 2,700 psi to about 4,500 psi, and wherein a second outlet pressure is about 3,700 psi to about 6,750 psi.  
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising vertically actuating the first outlet.  
     
     
         11 . A method of dispensing hydrogen gas, comprising: 
 producing the hydrogen gas in an electrolysis cell system;    activating a hydrogen dispenser;    dispensing the hydrogen gas to a vessel; and    ceasing a flow of the hydrogen gas to the vessel;    wherein the hydrogen dispenser and the electrolysis cell system are on a mobile platform.    
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the hydrogen gas is dispensed with a first outlet, and further comprising dispensing additional hydrogen gas with a second outlet, and wherein the first outlet and the second outlet are dispensing hydrogen gas at different fill pressures.  
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein a first outlet pressure is about 2,700 psi to about 4,500 psi, and wherein a second outlet pressure is about 3,700 psi to about 6,750 psi.  
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein activating the hydrogen dispenser further comprises vertically actuating a first outlet.  
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein activating the hydrogen dispenser further comprises selecting a hydrogen gas pressure using a pressure selector disposed in operable communication with a hydrogen gas output port.  
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein producing the hydrogen further comprises introducing water to the electrolysis cell system.
