摘要 |
A power source and related methods comprise a slurry-type reactive metal anode containing such metals as aluminum, lithium, magnesium, calcium or magnesium, or alloys or mixtures of such metals, suspended in a flowing aqueous electrolyte, in conjunction with a water-consuming hydrogen-evolving cathode in an electrochemical reactor cell, so as to generate electrical power from the metal-water reaction. The hydrogen evolving from said cell may be fed to a hydrogen-consuming fuel cell or battery to yield additional electrical energy.
