A system 10 is provided for recovering the potential energy of a hydrogen gas fuel supply within a fuel cell powered vehicle 14. The system 10 includes a conventional storage tank 16 which receives and stores hydrogen gas at a relatively high pressure, an energy conversion unit or assembly 18, a compressor unit or assembly 20, pressure regulators 22, 24, a valve 26, an electrical charge storage device or battery 28, a controller 30, vehicle sensors 32 and electrical switches or switching module 34. The system 10 selectively channels pressurized hydrogen gas through energy conversion unit 18 which lowers the pressure of the hydrogen gas and generates electricity. Controller 30 causes the generated electricity to be selectively communicated to compressor 20, electrical accessories 72, and/or to battery 28 by use of switching module 34, based upon vehicle attribute data received from sensors 32.

The process according to claim 1 wherein the melt stream is further heated by means of an induction coil arrangement and forms a plasma stream. 16. An apparatus for fusion drilling of a borehole in rock, comprising: a pipeline comprised of a plurality of pipeline elements extendable element by element into a borehole in rock; means for feeding a molten metal as a boring medium through said pipeline to emerge from a lowest element of said pipeline, to melt away the rock at a base of said borehole and to produce a waste melt comprised of the molten metal and molten rock, rock surrounding said borehole cracking by effects of temperature and pressure of the feeding of the molten metal into said borehole, said waste melt being pressed into cracked rock surrounding said borehole; and a lining for said borehole formed in situ from solidification of the waste melt around said borehole. 17. The apparatus according to claim 16 wherein surfaces of the pipeline elements in contact with the molten or solidified melt consist of a material resistant to high temperatures. 18. The apparatus according to claim 16 wherein the pipeline elements consist completely of a material resistant to high temperatures. 19. The apparatus according to claim 18 wherein the material has a low friction coefficient smaller than 0.5, and a low surface tension. 20. The apparatus according to claim 19 wherein the material is graphite or a metal composite ceramic. 21. The apparatus according to claim 18 wherein at least the lowermost pipeline element has at least one magnetic arrangement which forms a pump for conveyance of the melt and for producing at least one directable melt stream. 22. The apparatus according to claim 16 wherein each said pipeline element corresponds to a cylindrical piece with a central bore. 23. The apparatus according to claim 22 wherein the ratio of the external diameter to the internal diameter of the pipeline element is larger than 10:1. 24. The apparatus according to claim 16 wherein controllable magnetic devices, which are usable as support and guide magnets in combination with the metallic borehole lining, are located in the wall of a pipeline element. 25. The apparatus according to claim 16 wherein magnetic devices which are usable as valves for the melt to be guided are located in the wall of a pipeline element. 26. The apparatus according to claim 16, characterized in that the lowermost pipeline element forms a boring head and has a funnel-shaped recess. 27. The apparatus according to claim 16 wherein control elements are provided, at least in the lowermost pipeline element, through which the melt can be set in rotation, can be pivoted and can be directed. 28. The apparatus according to claim 27 wherein the control elements consist of at least three current conductors in contact with the melt. 29. A boring device for the production of fusion drilling borings of large-diameter in rock with which rock to be removed is meltable and by means of which a borehole lining made of solidified melt can be produced from the melt occurring in the melt process and fed into the borehole, wherein surfaces of the boring device in contact with the molten or solidified melt mass consist of graphite.
