Claims20
A magnesium fuel assembly, comprising:
- a separator formed with liquid-absorbable material;
- a magnesium plate incorporating magnesium encased in the separator;
- and
- a rotating shaft formed by a semiconductor electrically connected to the magnesium plate, the rotating shaft arranged to penetrate at a point near the center of the magnesium plate, which rotates with the rotating shaft at its center.

A magnesium battery, comprising:
- a separator formed with liquid-absorbable material;
- a magnesium plate incorporating magnesium encased in the separator;
- a rotating shaft formed by a semiconductor electrically connected to the magnesium plate, the rotating shaft arranged to penetrate at a point near the center of the magnesium plate, which rotates with the rotating shaft at its center;
- a cathode arranged so that it contacts the magnesium plate and the separator by sandwiching the magnesium plate and the separator from above and below;
- an electrolytic solution retainer that holds electrolytic solution inside;
- wherein the magnesium plate that serves as fuel moves by rotation and is impregnated with electrolytic solution in the electrolytic solution retainer, the magnesium plate inserted in the cathode serves as fuel to produce an electromotive force;
- wherein after a reaction is caused by the insertion of the magnesium plate, the magnesium plate is extracted from the cathode simultaneously with insertion of an unreacted magnesium plate into the cathode.
