  • Publication number: 20240136081
    Abstract: Disclosed are galvanic cells and methods for treating a molten salt by use of the galvanic cells. The galvanic cell can provide anti-corrosion treatment and improved corrosion resistance via electrochemical and chemical reactions involving a corrosive impurity in a molten salt. Reaction products of the chemical and electrochemical reactions include hydrogen gas that can carry hydrogen isotopes evolved in the molten salt. The system can also include removal of the hydrogen gas from the molten salt and separation and recovery of tritium contained therein.

  • Patent number: 4638593
    Abstract: A generally boat-shaped fishing accessory comprises an enclosed hull having a live bait compartment and an adjoining insulated compartment for storing food, beverages and other articles. The hinged lid to the insulated compartment comprises a tackle tray with a hinged cover. A pair of longitudinal depending fins provide for stability in the water. A pair of tubular enclosed air chambers extend vertically along the outer stern portion and another pair extend horizontally along the side walls of the hull to keep the device balanced in the water. A pair of tubular rod holders are angularly disposed on each side of the hull to receive and hold fishing rods. Holes are provided for attaching stringers to the floating fishing accessory and for attaching the accessory to the belt loop of the user. The floating fishing accessory allows the user full use of both hands, easy access to live bait and tackle, insulated storage for food, beverages, and other articles, even while the baited hooks are in the water.
