Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to an electrode consisting of a conductor and adjacent to said conductor an electrolyt body, that contains copper ions. The electrolyt body is immobilized by a pervious structure, that may consist of a fine copper wire folded randomly in a recess containing the electrolyt body. Preferably the electrolyt body is bounded by a perforated plate.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 98 words
A system for measuring an electric field in a free electrolyte comprising: two conductors, at least one of said conductors including an elongated wire; means enclosing said elongated wire within a bounded portion of said electrolyte and holding said bounded portion of said electrolyte in intimate contact with said elongated wire, said elongated wire being folded in multiple strands to and fro within said enclosing means, leaving only small intersticies between adjacent portions of said wire which severely impede circulation of said bounded portion of said electrolyte; and means for measuring the voltage drop between said two conductors.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 98 words
A system for measuring an electric field in a free electrolyte comprising: two conductors, at least one of said conductors including an elongated wire; means enclosing said elongated wire within a bounded portion of said electrolyte and holding said bounded portion of said electrolyte in intimate contact with said elongated wire, said elongated wire being folded in multiple strands to and fro within said enclosing means, leaving only small intersticies between adjacent portions of said wire which severely impede circulation of said bounded portion of said electrolyte; and means for measuring the voltage drop between said two conductors.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 23 words
The system defined in claim 1, wherein said bounded portion of said electrolyte is separated from the free electrolyte by a pervious wall.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 17 words
The system defined in claim 1, wherein said elongated wire comprises a plurality of thin copper subwires.
Claim 5
Independent Claim 89 words
A system for measuring an electric field in a free electrolyte, comprising: two conductors, one of which includes an elongated wire; means enclosing said elongated wire within a bounded portion of said electrolyte and holding said bounded portion of said electrolyte in intimate contact with said elongated wire; means for a substantially immobilizing circulation of said electrolyte in close proximity to said elongated wire, including multiple strands of said wire folded to and fro in said enclosing means; and means for measuring the voltage drop between said two conductors.
Claim 6
Independent Claim 89 words
A system for measuring an electric field in a free electrolyte, comprising: two conductors, one of which includes an elongated wire; means enclosing said elongated wire within a bounded portion of said electrolyte and holding said bounded portion of said electrolyte in intimate contact with said elongated wire; means for a substantially immobilizing circulation of said electrolyte in close proximity to said elongated wire, including multiple strands of said wire folded to and fro in said enclosing means; and means for measuring the voltage drop between said two conductors.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 25 words
The system defined in claim 4, wherein said circulation immobilizing means further comprises a viscosity increasing substance added to said bounded portion of said electrolyte.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 34 words
The system defined in claim 4, wherein said bounded portion of said electrolyte is separated from the free electrolyte by a pervious wall; and said elongated wire comprises a plurality of thin copper subwires.
