  • Patent number: 11458533
    Abstract: A measuring device includes a furnace, a draining vessel, a loader and a computing system for physical properties. The draining vessel with molten metal fluid is in the furnace. The loader accumulates the molten metal fluid from the draining vessel. The computing system includes a recording unit, transform unit, computing unit and processor. The recording unit records the vessel information. By the assumed physical parameters and the vessel information, the transform unit transforms a weight of the molten metal fluid in the loader into a first length criterion, and the computing unit simulates the flowing of the molten metal fluid to have a second length criterion. The processor minimizes the difference of the first and the second length criterion by changing the assumed physical parameters. The physical properties of the molten metal fluid are determined when the difference is minimized.

  • Patent number: 8973746
    Abstract: A hydrogen storage apparatus includes a canister and at least one hydrogen storage unit. The canister has at least a hollow rod. The hydrogen storage unit is disposed in the canister. The hydrogen storage unit includes a housing, a heat-dissipating channel and a plurality of heat-dissipating partitions. The periphery of the housing is configured with a plurality of grooves, and each groove has a plurality of first holes. The heat-dissipating channel is located within the housing. Each heat-dissipating partition has a plurality of second holes and connects to the housing and heat-dissipating channel. The heat-dissipating partitions divide the space inside the housing. The first holes and the second holes connect to the inner space of the housing.

  • Publication number: 20120211376
    Abstract: A hydrogen storage apparatus includes a canister, a first filter element and at least one hydrogen storage unit. The canister has an opening and a rod. The first filter element is disposed in the opening. The hydrogen storage unit is accommodated in the canister. The hydrogen storage unit includes a compartment structure and a hydrogen channel element. The compartment structure divides a space inside the canister, and the hydrogen channel element is pierced by the rod and connected with the compartment structure. The hydrogen channel element includes a plurality of axial channels and a plurality of radial channels. The axial channels are connected with the opening and the radial channels. The radial channels are connected with the space inside the canister.

  • Publication number: 20120132545
    Abstract: A hydrogen storage device includes a hydrogen storage can, at least one first partition, and at least one second partition. The hydrogen storage can defines a major axis. The at least one first partition is used to partition the space in the hydrogen storage can into at least one compartment. The at least one second partition includes a plurality of sub-compartments. The sub-compartments are arranged linearly in at least one row perpendicular to the major axis.
