In a first generalized embodiment of the present invention, the ionically-conductive medium is realized as an ionically-conductive belt, and the metal-fuel tape, ionically-conductive belt, and movable cathode structure arc transported at substantially the same velocity at the locus of points which the ionically-conducing belt contacts the metal-fuel tape and the cathode structure during system operation. In a second generalized embodiment of the present invention, the ionically-conductive medium is realized as a solid-state (e.g. gel-like) film layer integrated with the metal-fuel tape, and the metal-fuel tape, ionically-conductive film layer and movable cathode structure are transported at substantially the same velocity at the locus of points which the ionically-conducing film layer contacts the metal-fuel tape and the cathode structure during system operation.

531929 V. Description of the Invention (Innovative systems and methods for the transformation of metal fuel belts. In theory, improvements in this type of technology allow metal fuel belts to be quickly recharged in an energy-efficient manner in order to be reused for power generation cycles. . Such advances provide high hopes in many attempts that require electricity. However, the biggest limitation of 'know-how metal-air FCB systems is the stationary cathode structure when the metal fuel is being transported to such systems. At the time, friction (such as shear strain) force was generated, which caused some problems. One problem was that this type of friction force caused an increase in the amount of electricity required to transport the metal fuel belt through the system. Another problem It is this type of friction that causes metal oxide particles to fall off the metal fuel belt during transport and become buried in the porous cathode structure, thus preventing ion transport between the cathode and the ion-conducting medium (ie, filling Mentioned) and increase the likelihood of damaging (or destroying) the cathode structure and the surface of the metal fuel ribbon In addition, it is difficult to produce a power density with a high volume measured at, for example, kilowatts per cubic centimeter when using the technology of conventional techniques. Therefore, a large amount of FCB systems are generated from a volume occupying a relatively small physical space. Electricity is no longer possible. Overall, this type of problem tends to reduce the efficiency of the operation and the effectiveness of the metal-air FCB system, as well as the life of the metal fuel used in the JT and cathode structure.

Description of the invention (34) The speed control (ie, equal speed) method in some rough embodiments. Depending on how the cathode structure is implemented, the examples of the present invention disclosed in this document can be classified into one of two groups to simplify the description of the corresponding FCB system. For example, 'in the first group of exemplary embodiments shown in Figs. 2 to 3, the cathode structure has a structure with a rotatable cylindrical geometry with tiny holes in its surface and a hollow center It is realized that the hollow central part can transport air (ie, oxygen) to the interface between the metal fuel belt and the ion conductive medium. In the second group of exemplary embodiments shown in FIGS. 7 to 10D, the cathode structure is implemented as a belt structure having extremely minute holes in its surface to allow oxygen to be transported to the metal fuel belt and The ion conducting medium.

As shown in Fig. 2, the cathode cylinder is rotated at an angular velocity controlled by a cathode drive unit 17 around its rotation axis. As shown in the figure, the cathode driving unit 17 has a driving shaft 18 with a gear 19 attached thereto, and the gear train is connected to teeth formed on the edges of the cylindrical structure. The metal fuel ribbon is transported on the surface of the cymbal-shaped cathode member 14 by a fuel ribbon transporter 21 operable during discharge and recharging. The cathode driving unit 17 and the fuel π transporter 21 are controlled by a system controller 22, so that the metal fuel belt 13, the cathode structure 14, and the ion conductive medium contact the metal fuel at substantially the same speed. The strip is carried at the point of the cathode structure. By controlling the corresponding movement between the metal fuel belt, the ion-conducting medium, and the cylindrical cathode structure, the system controller 22 effectively reduces the frictional (eg, shear strain) force between the first three. The production is minimized and therefore the problems associated with such forces are solved. Generally speaking, the speed control between the cathode structure, the ion-conducting medium, and the metal strip can be achieved in various ways in the system of FIG. 2. For example, one method is to drive the cylindrical cathode structure using a conveyor belt that is also used to transport the metal fuel belt 13 (for example, between the supply and receiving trays or hubs in a box-shaped component). The property bureau employee consumer cooperative prints a method to use-when-the second group of DC control motors synchronized with the first group of D c control motors is used to drive the supply and receiving hubs of the fuel cartridge components, A group of DC-controlled motors drives the cylindrical female = structure 11. In general, it is desirable in most applications to install multiple pairs of "rotatable" cathode and anode contact parts in the cylinder of the system shown in Figure 2.

71 V. Description of the invention () The belt conveyor 121 is transported. The cathode cylindrical drive unit and the fuel belt transporter 121 are controlled by a system controller 120, so that the metal fuel belt 108, the array of cathode structures 103, and the ion conductive medium are brought into contact with the ion conductive medium at about the same speed. The point where the metal fuel ribbon and the cathode structure are carried is transported. By controlling the corresponding movements between the cathode cylinder, the metal fuel belt, and the ion-conducting medium in the engine casing, the system controller 120 effectively reduces friction (such as shear strain) between the aforementioned three. The generation of force is minimized. This operating condition results in a reduction in the amount of power required to transport the metal fuel ribbon, the ion conducting medium, and the cathode structure. This operating condition also reduces the shedding of metal oxide particles from the metal fuel belt and the occurrence of the porous cathode structure being buried. In sequence, this reduces the possibility of damage or damage to the cylindrical cathode member Π 6 and the metal fuel belt. Generally speaking, speed control between the cathode structure, the ion-conducting medium, and the metal fuel ribbon can be achieved in various ways in the FCB system of Fig. 11. For example, one method is to use a set of engaging gears as shown in Fig. I 1 to drive the array of cathode cylinders. Another method is to drive the array of cathode cylinders with a conveyor structure that is also used to transport the metal fuel belt 108 (e.g., between the supply and receiving trays or hubs in a box-type component). Still another method is to use a first group of DC control motors when a second group of DC control motors synchronized with the first group of DC control motors is used to drive the supply and receiving valleys of the fuel tank element. To drive the array of cathode cylinders. Other methods of achieving speed control will become obvious to those skilled in this technology, and will also get reading.

In Figure 24C, this type of table is schematically described. When When electricity is being generated from individual FCB subsystems, metal fuel indication data is automatically generated in each subsystem during the discharge mode, and metal oxide occurrence data is generated during the recharge operation mode. As shown in Sections 24A and 24B, the metal fuel instructions generated regionally are the materials and metal oxide instructions.

Description of the invention (^ Use the network-type metal fuel management (basic data) subsystem 713 to manage the availability of the metal fuel and the occurrence of metal oxides in FCB subsystems such as A 'and (4) allow selective The metal fuel in the selected fCb system is discharged (and optionally, the metal oxides along the metal fuel are selectively recharged) so that the metal fuel availability in each FCB subsystem is at an average The time base is roughly equal. This method can be achieved in a direct way planned by techniques well known in the computing arts. From making the network control subsystem 7 丨 across each FCB subsystem to metal fuel, etc. The advantages derived from the `` chemical effect '' can be best understood by referring to the illustration in Figure 25. Generally, the amount of power generated by the power system depends on the (or other) electrical power connected to the system. The amount of power required by the load is determined. According to the present invention, the increase in power output from the system is achieved by enabling an additional metal-air FCB subsystem to generate and supply power under the control of a planned network control subsystem 711 This is achieved by the output power bus structure 706 (or 717 in the case of AC load). For example, consider an electric power system having eight DC power bus structures 706 and? (: The condition of the power system of the FCB subsystems connected between the bus structures 712. In this type of example, it may be helpful to look at each of the FCB subsystems 707A to 708D figuratively To "power cylinders" in a functioning engine, so consider the case of a power generation system (or equipment) according to the present invention, in which eight FCB subsystems (ie, power cylinders) are grouped together and surrounded In the structure of an electric car or similar conveying device, the paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 113 531929

As shown in Figure 23A. In such cases, the number of FCB subsystems capable of generating electricity at any time instant will depend on the electrical load that occurs in the power generation equipment on the car. Therefore, when the car is traveling along a flat horizontal road or driving downhill slowly, it is conceivable that only one or a few FCB subsystems (ie, power cylinders) will be activated by the network control subsystem 711. However, when traveling uphill or overtaking another car, multiple or all FCB subsystems (ie, power cylinders) can be activated by subsystem 711 in order to meet the power requirements required for such operating conditions. Regardless of the load conditions imposed on the power generation system of the transport device, the average consumption rate of metal fuel in each metal-air FCB subsystem 708A to 708H will be based on the above-mentioned metal fuel equalization principle on an average time basis Are substantially equal, so that on the basis of the average time, the amount of metal fuel that can be used to discharge in each FCB subsystem 708 A to 708H is maintained in a substantially equal state by the network control subsystem 711. Printed by the Consumers ’Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs In this exemplary embodiment, the network control subsystem 711 performs a control program (ie, an algorithm) that is designed to receive various input parameters and generate various output parameters so that The control procedures of the present invention are performed in an automated manner. The input parameters in the control program include, for example, > the material is related to (i) the load conditions induced by the load sensing subsystem 71 and other sensors on the electric transport device (for example, the The RPM of the electric motor, the speed of the delivery device, etc.); (ii) the amount of metal fuel that can be obtained along each area of the metal fuel in each metal-air FCB subsystem; (curse) along each metal The amount of metal oxides present in each area of the metal fuel in the air FCB subsystem; (iv) the size of the paper for each metal applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) 114 531929

The network control subsystem 711 may be implemented using a microcomputer that is planned to perform the above functions in a direct manner. The network control subsystem can be embedded in the main system in a simple manner (for example, the transport device 701). Significantly, in the exemplary embodiment shown in Figs. 23A to 24C, each of the metal-air FCB subsystems 708A to 708H has an electric operation mode and a recharge operation mode.
