20 Watt-Hour Per Pound Regenerative Fuel Cell

Abstract

The electrolytically regenerative fuel cell is an electrochemical energy storage device, wherein the energy density per unit weight substantially exceeds present acceptable power sources. The report is concerned with a cylindrical regenerative hydrogen oxygen fuel cell which is a basic electrochemical cell serving the dual function of a primary fuel cell and a water electrolysis cell. It was demonstrated that regenerative fuel cells of the design described are capable of cyclical storage and release of 20 watt- hours of electrical energy per pound of energy storage system. The report briefly discusses the design and then presents environmental test data on its operating performance.
