Methods and apparatus for generating heat and electrical energy from aluminum
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5809938
Heat and electrical energy are generated from aluminum by introduction of aluminum particles on demand into a reaction chamber for reaction with an aqueous electrolyte solution with the concurrent formation of aluminum hydroxide. Improved packing of the aluminum is achieved by exertion of a positive downward pressure on a packed bed of aluminum by a weighted or springloaded piston, the pressure providing improved contact between the aluminum particles with resulting improved electrical continuity.
