摘要： Fuel cell systems and methods for controlling the operation of components of the fuel cell system, such as which may include a fuel source and a fuel cell stack. In some examples, a fuel source is adapted to provide supply fuel to a fuel cell stack at a supply pressure. In some systems, fuel not used by the fuel cell stack is discharged through at least one exit orifice at an exit pressure. In some examples, a control system is adapted to control operation of one or both of the fuel source and the fuel cell stack based on the flow of unused fuel. In some examples, a target pressure is determined based on the level of electrical current produced by a fuel cell stack, such that when fuel is supplied at the target pressure, the fuel cell stack consumes a given proportion of the supply fuel.

摘要： An inertially activated electrochemical cell has a first and a second electrode and an electrolyte. The electrolyte, or at least an active component thereof, is enclosed in an encapsulant which can be disrupted when a compressive force is applied thereto. When the electrolyte material is encapsulated, the cell is inactive and has a long storage life. When the cell is exposed to a predetermined level of acceleration or deceleration, the encapsulant is subjected to a compressive force causing it to be thereby disrupted freeing the electrolyte material and rendering the cell active.

摘要： An improved redox battery energy storage system is disclosed for reducing oxygen gas levels and separating oxygen gas from hydrogen gas, thus reducing the likelihood of flammable gas explosions. The system includes at least one cell, which includes a positive compartment having positive solution, a negative compartment having negative solution, and a membrane separating the positive and negative compartments. A positive reservoir is in fluid communication with the cell's positive compartment, the positive reservoir defining a positive vent space for positive gas, which includes oxygen. A negative reservoir is in fluid communication with the cell's negative compartment, the negative reservoir defining a negative vent space. A return line is in fluid communication with the negative compartment and the negative reservoir to return the negative solution from the cell to the negative reservoir through the negative vent space. A positive gas draw line is in fluid communication with the positive vent space and coupled to the return line at a connection, causing positive gas to be siphoned from the positive vent space into the negative vent space, where the negative solution of the negative reservoir scavenges the oxygen. A balancing line is in fluid communication with the positive and the negative vent spaces to recirculate oxygen-depleted positive gas to the positive vent space.
