Abstract
The present disclosure provides an electrohydraulic device. The device includes a battery having a vessel containing a flowable electrolyte. The battery may be a flow cell battery, such as, for example, a redox flow cell battery. In a flow cell battery, the flowable electrolyte may a catholyte and/or an anolyte. An actuator is in fluidic communication with the vessel of the battery. The actuator is configured to be actuated using the flowable electrolyte. A cation exchange membrane may separate the vessel into an anolyte side and a catholyte side. The actuator may be in fluidic communication with either side (anolyte side or catholyte side) of the vessel.
