Abstract
1. A fusible salt electrolyte cell system including a cathode, an anode, and a mass of non-fused electrolyte in contact therewith and wherein said cathode and electrolyte components essentially consist of a series of layers of powders compressed under a pressure of the order of 50,000 to 60,000 p.s.i. into a single pellet with adjacent layers intimately united, said electrolyte being admixed with dehydrated kaolinite in a sheet layer crystalline structure form, which is present throughout the mass of electrolyte in an amount sufficient to impart nonflow characteristics to the fused electrolyte so as to maintain the electrolyte against substantial displacement under pressure when the electrolyte is fused thereby to retain the fused electrolyte in intimate contact with said anode, and heat source material adjacent said electrolyte and adapted to release heat in an amount adequate to fuse said electrolyte so as to activate the cell.
