  • Patent number: 9455482
    Abstract: A self-recharging battery apparatus including a magnesium-air fuel cell component having external battery connector elements; a rechargeable battery; and a water-tight inner sleeve configured to and receiving the rechargeable battery and the inner sleeve being fixedly connected to an inner side of the magnesium-air fuel cell component and the rechargeable battery being electrically connected to the magnesium-air fuel cell component external battery connector elements.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 8, 2012
    Date of Patent: September 27, 2016
    Assignee: Argopower, LLC
    Inventor: Allan Riggs
  • Patent number: 9368989
    Abstract: A non-electric battery charging fuel cell system that includes a fuel cell system with a closed internal chamber and at least one magnesium anode and a cathode pair that is electrically connected to eternally accessible battery positions designed to receive rechargeable batteries. The addition of saltwater to fill the fuel cell begins the generation of electricity to recharge batteries.

  • Patent number: 8814616
    Abstract: An autonomous aquatic vehicle with one or more fuel cells, a controller, a plurality of sensors, a battery, and at least one electric motor and propeller. The one or more fuel cells provide power to the battery, and the battery provides power for the vehicle. Seawater is provided to anodes of the fuel cell and air or oxygen is provided to the cathode to produce power for supply to the battery. The seawater-anode reaction creates waste or byproduct that tends to decrease output of the fuel cell. The waste or byproduct is automatically flushed from the fuel cell using seawater.
