Abstract
An electric power system particularly adapted for use in powering the electric motor or motors used in the drive train of an electric vehicle. The power system includes a power cell which is a continuous flow concentration cell which utilizes the electrochemical reaction between an acid electrolyte and a base electrolyte to produce electrical energy. Both the acid and base electrolyte utilized in the power cell are kept in external reservoirs. The use of external reservoirs for the electrolytes provides for increases in the energy of the system which is only limited by the size of the reservoirs. Recharging of the system is quickly and conveniently accomplished by recharging the reservoirs with fresh electrolyte, or by electrically recharging the system.
