  • Publication number: 20240063475
    Abstract: A metal air battery having multiple anode-cathode disc assemblies that include a first and second cathode disc flanking an anode disc. An actuator moves at least one cathode disc relative to the other cathode disc, and thereby facilitates the size of the anode-cathode gap. The anode disc has a hole that engages a power shaft to rotate the anode disc.

  • Publication number: 20230318091
    Abstract: A control system is described to improve all dynamic, multi-cell metal air batteries to ensure load requirements are met while optimizing battery performance according to a range of performance criteria. This control system can be augmented with Machine Learning to further improve both the effectiveness and efficiency of the battery system over time. A dynamic multi-cell metal air battery system design is disclosed to achieve continuous or intermittent high power, broadening the applicability of metal air batteries combined with electric motors to applications traditionally reserved for internal combustion engines.
