Abstract:
To supply energy to motorised vehicles, a heat engine (SM) is provided to convert heat (106, 107, 108, 114) that accumulates in the vehicle at least partly into kinetic energy of the vehicle and to feed other portions of said lost heat to a heat accumulator (LWS). An optional, mechanical energy accumulator (MES) can take up kinetic energy from a vehicle motor (MGH), store said energy and deliver said energy back to a vehicle motor (MGM when required.
Abstract:
An energy storage unit, such as a galvanic cell, is composed of a first electrode (10), a second electrode (18) and a separation element (24), which is arranged between the first and the second electrode. Therein, the first and the second electrode (10, 18), respectively, comprise an electrode collector (12, 20) and an active electrode material (14, 22), which is applied onto the respective electrode collector on one side or on both sides. In order to improve the longterm stability, in particular for large format lithium-ion cells, the electrode collector (12, 20) of the first and/or the second electrode (10, 18) is made of a copper material, which is technical-grade oxygen-free having at least approximately 99.9% by weight copper and a specific phosphorous content.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device for the controlled transfer of electric mechanisms operating according to galvanic principles from a first operating state into at least a second operating state, in which the functionality and in particular the reaction potential of the electric mechanism operating according to galvanic principles is reduced or completely eliminated.

Abstract:
A protective device for galvanic cells (201, 202, 301, 302) which are interconnected via contact elements (205, 207, 209, 212, 405, 409, 406, 407, 506, 507, 509, 606, 607, 706, 707, 709, 805, 806, 807, 809) that are suitably connected to pole connections (203, 204, 503, 504) of said cells to give a battery can be associated with individual cells of a battery. The protective device has an activation device (1008, 1108, 1208, 1011, 1111) for activation. When the protective device is activated, the protective device bridges the cell associated therewith by changing the interconnection and thus removes it from the electrical functioning of the battery assembly. In the activation device, preferably an electroconductive or insulating component made of a shape memory material brings about the change of the interconnection by changing the shape of said component as soon as and/or as long as the temperature of said component lies outside a defined temperature range.
