  • Publication number: 20220216485
    Abstract: The thermal batteries improves the operation of electrical equipment by storing energy in thermal materials and changing it to power instead of storing it in chemical energy and having to change the chemical energy to power the machine. The battery can use internal storage on one or both sides of the generator to power the the machine or can use the thermal energy in the environment to power the generator. The battery takes the energy from the high temperature storage on one side and moves it through the generator and sends the excess heat to the low temperature side. The high temperature sides can change to the low temperature side by moving the battery or changes to the operating environment of the machine. The battery extends its operation because it does not have energy limited by the size of the plates and can continue its operation and is charged by sending in new material at the necessary temperature or by increasing the temperature of the material in the battery to power the machine.
