Abstract:
1. A process for conversion of chemical energy directly into electrical energy which comprises the steps of supplying an aqueous solution of hydrazine to the interface between an anode and an aqueous electrolyte in a fuel cell, supplying an oxidizing agent to the interface between a cathode and an aqueous electrolyte in said fuel cell said anode and cathode being ionically connected, and electrically connecting said anode and cathode through an electrical load.
Abstract:
The present invention is a new rotary engine consisting of a stator with a cylindrical cavity, a hollow cylindrical rotor located within the cylindrical cavity of the stator, a power shaft along the axis of the stator and an eccentric mounted on the power shaft. A plurality of spaced vanes are mounted in the stator for reciprocal movement with respect to the stator to provide working chambers between adjacent vanes, the stator, and the rotor so that rolling movement of the rotor around the interior of the stator in response to combustion of explosive charges in the chambers causes the eccentric to roll around the inner surface of the rotor and thereby rotate the power shaft.
