Abstract
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for a heat source for a hydrogen fuel supply system of a turbine engine. An example apparatus includes a heat source configured to burn gaseous hydrogen to produce heat energy and a byproduct of combustion, a pipeline to transport gaseous hydrogen from a hydrogen supply to the heat source, a vent coupled to the heat source to vent excess gaseous hydrogen and the byproduct of combustion, and a heat exchanger coupled to the heat source to use the heat energy of the heat source to heat liquid hydrogen in the pipeline.
