Electrochemical generator for naval craft, naval craft and related electrical generation method

摘要

The generator (16) has an electrochemical block (24) comprising a cathode (42) located opposite to an anode (40), where the cathode and the anode delimit an intermediate channel (44) to circulate an electrolyte. A circulation system (32) circulates the electrolyte from an electrolyte supply pipe (28) toward an electrolyte discharge pipe (30) through the channel. The system has a generation assembly (50) to generate magnetic field in the channel to cause partial displacement of electrolyte by effect of Lorentz force during circulation of an electric current between the anode and the cathode. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a naval craft (2) a method for power generation in a naval craft.
