System for feeding gaseous fuel, in particular hydrogen, for fuel cells which comprises a storage tank for the gaseous fuel of the type comprising a case containing a material absorbing the gaseous fuel, in particular a metal hydride, and means for applying an amount of heat to the material absorbing gaseous fuel and determining the flow of the gaseous fuel from the absorbing material towards an anode of one or more fuel cell. The storage tank and the one or more fuel cell are mutually arranged in such a way as to achieve a heat exchange relationship between the anode of one or more fuel cells and the gas absorbing material, the means for applying an amount of heat comprising the heat exchange between the anode of one or more fuel cells and the gas absorbing material.

System for feeding gaseous fuel, in particular hydrogen, for fuel cells

Described herein is a fuel-cell stack, which comprises a plurality of direct-alcohol fuel cells electrically connected together. Each cell has a miniaturized structure comprising a first electrode, a second electrode, an electrolyte set between the first electrode and the second electrode, means for conducting electrical current to the first electrode, and means for conducting electrical current to the second electrode. The miniaturized structure of each cell is made up of a plurality of layers set on top of one another, and the various miniaturized structures are associated in an unremovable way to a flexible substrate capable of being wound up in a roll.

Direct-alcohol fuel-cell stack and corresponding method of fabrication

A light-emitting device comprises a structure defining an orderly and periodic series of cavities of nanometric dimensions, in which a process of catalytic combustion is confined. The dimensions and/or the distance between the micro-cavities are selected to obtain a light emission in the visible and prevent and/or attenuate at the same time emission of infrared radiation.

Combustion light-emitting device and corresponding method of fabrication

The generator comprises at least one source of pressurized gas and a closed hydraulic circuit containing a solution comprising an electrically conducting vehicle liquid in which a charge of micro- or nanoparticles of a metal material is dispersed. The circuit has The generator also comprises magnetic field generating devices, associated with a length of the hydraulic circuit lying between the inlet port and the restriction in cross section in order to generate an induction flux () at right angles to the direction of flow of the solution in that length of circuit, and The arrangement is such that, when in operation, an electric current whose strength depends on the flow velocity of the solution in that length of the hydraulic circuit, the strength of the associated magnetic field and the electrical resistance between the electrodes flows between the electrodes.

Electric generator having a magnetohydrodynamic effect

Described herein is a microgenerator of electrical energy with a high power density, which uses an internal-combustion micromotor with two combustion chambers set opposite to one another, within which a piston is displaced with reciprocating motion. The piston is at least in part made of magnetic material and is wound with a coil, within which is generated an electric current by induction. The fuel, the oxidant, and preferably a catalyst, are injected into each of the two combustion chambers by means of injectors that are substantially of the same type as those used in ink-jet printer heads. The dimensions of the device are comparable to those of a 1.5-V NiCd battery of a traditional standard type.
