Abstract
A device for generating an electric current comprises a housing, a reaction chamber which is positioned in the housing, and a chemical energy conversion device (“CECD”) which is positioned in the housing adjacent the reaction chamber. In operation, first and second reactants are communicated through respective conduits into the reaction chamber, where they react on the CECD and generate chemical energy which the CECD converts into an electric current. This electric current is then is transmitted to an external device over a pair of leads in order to power the external device.
Claims20
A device for generating an electric current which comprises:
- a housing;
- a reaction chamber which is positioned in the housing;
- a chemical energy conversion device (“CECD”) which is positioned in the housing adjacent the reaction chamber;
- a first conduit which extends between the reaction chamber and a source of a first reactant;
- a second conduit which extends between the reaction chamber and a source of a second reactant;
- wherein when the first and second reactants are communicated through their respective conduits into the reaction chamber, they will react on the CECD and generate chemical energy which the CECD will convert into an electric current;
- means connected to the CECD for transmitting the electric current to a device which is located externally of the housing.
