摘要： A method includes processes of (a processing part 8) calculating an estimated heat generation temperature by using drive conditions (22, a storage part 6) at least including drive timing information (18) and drive current value information (20), and temperature change characteristic information (24) of a capacitor, calculating state change information (28) of the capacitor after elapse of a reference time by using the estimated heat generation temperature, and calculating a lifespan estimation value (lifespan estimation result 30) of the capacitor by using the state change information. This enables capacitor lifespan estimation corresponding to fluctuations of a drive current value flowing through the capacitor, the applicability of the capacitor is confirmed, and the safety of equipment using the capacitor is improved.

摘要： A method for forming an energy generating device which includes two layers of dissimilar materials in terms of electron density and configuration in contact with each other, sandwiched between an anode and a cathode. The two layers of dissimilar materials are each formed as a paste or ink and include an ionic material absorbed or incorporated into the two layers of dissimilar material. The ionic material facilitates the flow of electrons within the device, thereby creating a cell with an electric potential across an interface of the two layers of dissimilar material.

摘要： Thermally regenerative ammonia-based battery systems and methods of their use to produce electricity are provided according to aspects described herein in which ammonia is added into an anolyte to charge the battery, producing potential between the electrodes. At the anode, metal corrosion occurs in the ammonia solution to form an ammine complex of the corresponding metal, while reduction of the same metal occurs at the cathode. After the discharge of electrical power produced, ammonia is separated from the anolyte which changes the former anolyte to catholyte, and previous anode to cathode by deposition of the metal. When ammonia is added to the former catholyte to make it as anolyte, the previous cathode becomes the anode. This alternating corrosion/deposition cycle allows the metal of the electrodes to be maintained in closed-loop cycles, and waste heat energy is converted to electricity by regeneration of ammonia, such as by distillation.

摘要： An electrochemical reactor includes positive and negative electrodes. A conductive and/or dielectric liquid is provided between the positive and negative electrodes. A first isolation member provided on the positive electrode isolates the positive electrode from the liquid, and a second isolation member provided on the negative electrode isolates the negative electrode from the liquid. The first and second isolation member each includes a liquid-repellent porous membrane. The reactor further includes a pressure-applying member which pressurizes the liquid to fill the pores of the first and second liquid-repellent porous membranes with the liquid, thereby causing an electrochemical reaction involving the positive and negative electrodes.

摘要： The present invention provides an ionic and electronic insulator interposed between a BASE tube and a tube mounting member in an AMTEC cell for preventing shunt currents from forming between BASE tube electrodes. In a first embodiment of the invention, an insulator is formed integral with the BASE tube by leaching out an alkali metal ion component of the BASE tube at a desired location. In a second embodiment of the present invention, an alpha alumina ring is brazed to the end of the BASE tube. In a third embodiment of the present invention, a glass material seal is formed between the BASE tube and the mounting member.
