Electrochemical conversion system

摘要

An electrochemical conversion system ( 110 ) is disclosed having a housing ( 111 ) defining an opening ( 112 ) and an internal chamber ( 113 ). An electrochemical cell ( 116 ) is mounted within the opening ( 112 ) which is electrically coupled to a circuit ( 117 ). A mass of metal hydride material ( 118 ) is positioned within the chamber ( 113 ). The circuit ( 117 ) includes a load ( 127 ) and a battery ( 128 ) electrically coupled in series. The system may also be adapted to generate DC power with the addition of a rectifier ( 131 ).
