Electrical Generation System Using an Aluminum-Water Cell

Abstract: an electric generation system (egs) in which aluminum is an anode material in an electrochemical al-water cell. the aluminum anode is controllably moved in the electrolyte in such a way to modulate and control the electrical energy output from the cell. the al-water cell includes an electrolyte solution in a tank, the movable anode, a cathode that reduces water to hydrogen gas and hydroxide ions, and a membrane situated between the anode and cathode allowing passage of hydroxide ions. an electrical monitoring system monitors the electrical output from the cell and a power controller controllably moves the anode to control electrolyte exposure and provide a desired electrical output from the cell, responsive to the anode position and monitored electrical output. a plurality of al-water cells can be configured in combinations such as series and/or parallel connections, to realize a large-scale egs.
