Problems solved by technology

However, mechanical motors that generate electricity usually must use coils and magnetic devices to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, so the motors are very bulky and the energy density will be less than 2 watts per gram

Embodiment Construction

[0028] In one aspect, the methods and devices of the present invention enable enhanced peak power and energy conversion rates and further enhance desorption of waste and pollution products from conductive surfaces. The method involves selecting a catalyst that has a relatively low affinity for waste. Such catalysts include platinum, palladium, and related catalysts exhibit this property for the combustion of hydrogen with alcohols.

[0029] In another aspect, the method includes passing fuel and oxidant into the reaction zone and passing waste products out of the reaction zone. Waste products can be removed and diffused. The method of removing and diffusing the waste product includes flowing the reactant gas over the reaction surface and allowing the waste product to exit the surface into the gas stream. On the other hand, the apparatus of the present invention can be designed to generate simple one-shot pulse power, in which case waste products need not leave the reaction z...

Abstract

An apparatus and method for extracting energy is provided. In one aspect the method includes using chemical reactions to generate vibrationally excited molecules (101), such as high-quantum-number-vibrationally-excited gas molecules in a region. The vibration energy in the vibrationally excited molecules is converted into hot electrons when the excited molecules contact a conductor (103). A geometry is provided so that the excited molecules may travel, diffuse or wander into a conductor (103) before loosing a useful fraction of the vibrational energy. Optionally, the generating and the converting process may be thermally separated, at least in part. The short lived hot electrons are converted into longer lived entities such as carriers and potentials in a semiconductor, where the energy is converted into a useful form.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for the direct conversion of chemical reaction energy into electrical energy, and more particularly, the present invention relates to the generation of vibrationally highly excited reaction products and the direct conversion of the energy of this product into its useful form, such as electricity, on metal surfaces Methods and apparatus for thermal electrons, long-lived carriers in semiconductors, radiation or coherent radiation. technical background [0002] A fuel cell is a clean and efficient method of electrochemical energy conversion, usually by directly and efficiently converting the chemical reaction energy of reactant gases into electricity. However, the energy per mass or volume exhibited by a fuel cell system is generally at least lower than the mechanical energy. Furthermore, the volume required for a fuel cell employing liquid storable fuel to generate a given amount of battery power...
