Estimating the term…
A device and related method for producing electrical energy, in the form of current flowing in a load. The said method uses two solutions with different ionic concentration as energy source. The said device includes at least two electrodes immersed at least partially in a liquid contained in a cell. The method includes a plurality of phases. Among them, a phase in which the electrodes and are brought into contact with a first solution; a phase in which they are electrically charged; a phase in which they are brought into contact with a second solution; a phase in which at least a part of the accumulated charge is let flow through the load. The energy provided to the load is more than the energy used to charge the electrodes.
Device (10) able of producing electric energy using solutions with different ionic concentration including at least two electrodes made of conductive material, at least partially immersed in a liquid containing said solutions, characterized by the fact that the ionic concentration of said liquid in which in said electrodes are immersed is modified in succeeding phases, by substituting or mixing said liquid with said solutions, and comprising at least a charge phase in which said electrodes are electrically charged, and at least a discharge phase in which said electrodes are electrically discharged completely or partially.
