Iranian Inventor Makes New Type of Battery to Store Kinetic Energy of Rotating Objects
“The mechanical rechargeable battery based on improved storage was the title of the invention of a group of five, and the judges gave a silver medal to it,” Massoud Arab Ameri told ANA.
“In this type of battery, we store the kinetic energy resulting from the rotation of objects and receive it in the form of electrical or mechanical energy at the required time,” he added.
“The most common application of this invention is in the stop/start of high-speed engines and centrifuges, which significantly reduces the time to reach extreme speeds,” Arab Ameri said.
The invention provides a mechanically-rechargeable single-cell consumer electric battery for generating up to two volts, the battery being capable of electrical recharge and comprising a replaceable zinc anode, a housing containing the anode and provided with an aperture sealed by a removable closure, the aperture being sufficiently large to allow removal and replacement therethrough of at least the zinc anode, a cathode selected from the group consisting of manganese dioxide, nickel hydroxide, silver oxide, and air reduction types also contained in the housing, a non-spillable electrolyte in contact with both cathode and anode, and a separator system physically separating the anode from the cathode.
