Abstract: In an air-metal fuel cell battery system (1), metal-fuel tape (3), an ionically-conductive medium (2) and a cathode structure (4) are transported at substantially the same velocity at the locus of points at which the ionically-conductive medium contains the cathode structure and the metal-fuel tape during discharging and recharging modes of operation. In a first generalized embodiment of the present invention, the ionically-conductive medium is realized as an ionically-conductive belt, which is transported at substantially the same velocity as the metal-fuel tape and cathode structure at the locus of points where they are in contact. In a generalized second embodiment, the ionically-conductive medium is realized as a solid-state gel-like film layer integrated with the metal-fuel tape, which is transported at the same velocity as the cathode structure where they are in contact. In a third generalized embodiment, the ionically-conductive medium is realized as a solid-state film layer integrated with the movable cathode structure, which is transported at substantially the same velocity as the metal-fuel tape where they are in contact. By transporting the movable cathode structure, ionically-conductive medium and metal-fuel tape within the system as described above, generation of frictional forces among these components is minimized during the operation of the system, and damage to these components is reduced.

Abstract: A recyclable fuel distribution system comprising a hierarchy of operatively linked (with fuel supply and reaction product collection elements) fluid fuel transport vehicles, fluid fuel storage tanks, fuel supply reservoirs (optional depending on specific use), and fluid fuel usage devices operatively linked to the storage tanks or supply reservoirs, as applicable. The fuel, during use, undergoes a reversible chemical reaction, whereby collected reaction product is reversible to the original fuel. At least one and preferably all of the vehicles, storage tanks and reservoirs contain a storage volume with separated chambers, adapted to inversely change relative to fuel being supplied and reaction product being collected and stored. As a result, a single volume during transport, storage, and use, provides the dual function of fuel supply and collection of reversible reaction product, with concomitant nearly halving of transport, storage and use volumes and costs. Electrical production with a zinc fuel which reversibly forms a zinc oxide reaction product is a particularly suitable fuel for the present system for use in large scale fuel cell applications. Applications range from large scale megawatt power levels for industrial levels to tens of kilowatts for homes and transportation systems down to several watts for portable electrical and electronic appliances and devices.

Abstract: In general, a system and method of the present invention include a seed material (for receiving deposited carbon atoms) is provided with an active edge, for instance, at a growth line. A form of carbon is provided from a suitable source, and it is deposited upon the edge generally in a deposition region. The growth line is a position where the portion of the seed attracts the materials for growth. The source is activated to produce carbon (C, C2, other C forms) in a form that has a sufficiently low activity so that it will bond to the active edge (as opposed to oxidizing into other molecules such as carbon oxides). As the carbon material is deposited (i.e., atomically bonded) to the edge, the seed material may be pulled at a desired rate, i.e., to "grow" carbon material in the form of a sheet, ribbon, roll, tube, or many other desirable forms as described further herein.
