Abstract
An LED lighting fixture powered by a Metal-Organic Framework heat battery. The heat battery is formed of a canister, a MOF container comprised of a plurality of MOF tunnels, each MOF tunnel containing a powdered MOF material, a gate, and a plurality of thermoelectric devices. Below a certain adsorption activation temperature, the MOF material adsorbs a gas from the atmosphere. Above a certain desorption activation temperature, the MOF desorbs the gas. The heat from the adsorption is used to generate electrical current. The desorbed gas is captured to remove it from the atmosphere.
Claims20
A battery and gas storage device comprising:
- A canister with first end, a second end and a cavity, the canister having a gate at the first end and at least one valve for gas removal at the second end;
- A container for metal organic framework material, the container being shaped to fit within the cavity of the canister and having a plurality of tunnels, each tunnel being shaped to contain metal organic framework material;
- At least one thermoelectric device attached to the exterior of the canister, the thermoelectric device attached to conduct heat from the canister wall to the thermoelectric device, the thermoelectric devices each attached to wiring configured to output a current and voltage output;
- The metal organic framework material chosen to adsorb a specified gas below a adsorption activation temperature and to desorb the specified gas above a desorption activation temperature;
- The gate having an electric motor configured to open the gate when the ambient temperature is at or below the adsorption activation temperature and to close the gate when the ambient temperature is at or above the desorption activation temperature;
- Each of the at least one valves on the canister attached to a vacuum hose, the vacuum hose with a first end and a second end, the canister attached at the first end and the second end attached to a vacuum pump;
- and
- The vacuum pump connected to a gas storage cylinder configured to store the specified gas.
