    Abstract: A circuit for use with an external power source and at least one load. The circuit includes a Hydro-Pyroelectrodynamic (“H-PED”) storage/capture device (“SCD”), a plurality of contacts, and a recharging device. The H-PED SCD stores electrical energy and is configured to discharge power to at least one output contact of the plurality of contacts. The plurality of contacts also include an input contact configured to be connected to the external power source. The recharging device is configured to be powered by the external power source when the external power source is connected to the input contact and supplies power thereto. The recharging device is operable to charge the H-PED SCD when powered by the external power source. The recharging device may be an infrared light emitting diode configured to generate incident infrared radiation operable to charge the H-PED SCD.

    Abstract: A novel electrical energy storage system that includes one or more cells. Each cell includes a polar liquid, a negatively-charged-surface electrode, and a positively-charged surface electrode. An interstitial space is defined between the electrodes. The negatively-charged-surface electrode has a hydrophilic surface adjacent the interstitial space. The liquid includes a self-organizing zone in the interstitial space. Each cell includes means to increase and/or decrease electrical potential between the electrodes. Increasing the electrical potential between the electrodes induces expansion of the self-organizing zone in the interstitial space. Decreasing electrical potential between the electrodes (e.g., via current discharge through an external load) causes a contraction of the self-organizing zone.

    Abstract translation: 一种包括一个或多个电池的新型电能存储系统。 每个电池包括极性液体,带负电荷的表面电极和带正电的表面电极。 在电极之间限定间隙空间。 带负电的表面电极具有邻近间隙空间的亲水表面。 液体包括间隙空间中的自组织区。 每个电池包括增加和/或减少电极之间的电位的装置。 增加电极之间的电位引起间隙空间中自组织区的扩展。 电极之间的电位降低(例如,经由外部负载的电流放电)导致自组织区的收缩。
