  • Publication number: 20180073508
    Abstract: A supercharger comprises a housing, a gear box, and a shaft. The shaft comprises a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is located closer to the gear box than the second end. The supercharger comprises a shaft bore comprising a base wall, wherein the second end of the shaft is located in the shaft bore. The supercharger comprises a rotor bore in the housing and a rotor located on the shaft in the rotor bore. The rotor comprises an axis. The supercharger comprises a bearing surrounding the shaft and located closer to the second end of the shaft than the first end of the shaft, wherein the bearing comprises an outer ring abutting the shaft bore and an inner ring abutting the shaft. The supercharger comprises a biasing device abutting the bearing, wherein the biasing device moves the rotor along the axis.

  • Publication number: 20060102491
    Abstract: Electrochemical processes and apparatus for obtaining metals from metal salts, particularly separating alkali metal and borate ions from alkali metal borate compounds, are disclosed. Aqueous solutions of metal borates or metal carbonates are converted to metals by preferred electrochemical processes. These electrochemical processes also may be integrated into processes for the production of borohydrides, such as sodium borohydride.

  • Publication number: 20050132640
    Abstract: The present invention relates to improved aqueous fuels for hydrogen generators and a method for using them in the production of hydrogen. The present invention also relates to a system of using the subject aqueous fuels to generate hydrogen gas for use in a fuel cell or other device. The subject fuels contain a mixture of boron hydrides, at least one of which is a metal salt, including metal borohydrides, higher boranes and metal higher boron hydrides. The subject aqueous fuels contain a mixture of boron hydrides having a positive ionic charge (+IC) to boron ratio of between 0.2 and 0.4 or between 0.6 and 0.99. Preferred fuels contain a mixture of boron hydrides having an (+IC) to boron ratio between 0.2 and 0.3 or between 0.7 and 0.8. Mixtures containing a metal borohydride also contain a metal hydroxide to stability it against premature hydrolysis in the aqueous fuel media.

  • Publication number: 20050135996
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of triborohydride salts as hydrogen storage materials. The present invention also relates to a system of using triborohydride salts to generate hydrogen gas for use in a fuel cell or other hydrogen-consuming device. A novel method of preparing triborohydride salts is also disclosed, wherein gaseous diborane is reacted with a carbonate suspended in a non-aqueous solvent in a suitable vessel with agitation. The process is typically carried out utilizing sodium carbonate to form sodium triborohydride. Other triborohydride salts can then be formed by cationic exchange. Hydrogen generating fuels according to the present invention include aqueous or hydroalcoholic solutions or slurries of a triborohydride salt, which may additionally contain a borohydride salt to provide operation over a broader temperature range.
