Filed:

Jul 29, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/628290

Inventors:

Alain Vallée - Varennes, CA
Dany Brouillette - Brossard, CA
James K. Pugh - Pinellas Park FL, US
Wade W. Guindy - Henderson NV, US

Assignee:

Solicore, Inc. - Lakeland FL

International Classification:

H01M 4/82
H01M 4/58
H01M 4/00
H01M 4/50
H01M 6/18

US Classification:

296235, 4292312, 4292313, 4292315, 42923195, 429221, 429224, 429307, 429314

Abstract:

The present invention relates to Lithium Metal batteries. In particular, it is related to lithium metal batteries containing a polyimide-based electrolyte. The present invention concerns a new concept of polyimide-based electrolytic component having an electrolyte consisting of at least one solvent and at least one alkali metal salt, with specific amounts of solvents, to optimize the properties of conductivity of the polyimide-based electrolyte and the mechanical properties of the polyimide-based electrolyte separator towards metallic lithium anode to prevent dendrites growths.

Appl. No.:

13/200994

Inventors:

Bradford A. Wood - Clearwater FL, US
James K. Pugh - Pinellas Park FL, US
Juan A. Cubero - Largo FL, US

Assignee:

The Enser Corporation - Pinellas Park FL

International Classification:

H01M 6/36

US Classification:

429 90, 429112

Abstract:

An improved emergency power system is disclosed for providing electrical power to a load such as a blowout preventer of a petroleum drilling apparatus. The improved emergency power system comprises a thermal battery having an anode and a cathode with a separator containing an electrolyte disposed therebetween. An internal heat layer is located in proximity to the separator containing the electrolyte. A squib is provided for activating the internal heat layer. The thermal battery remains dormant until the squib is energized to ignite the squib enabling the heat layer to render the electrolyte molten thereby activating battery to provide electrical power to the load. The squib may be energized remotely, mechanically or electrically.
