Electrode gap control for electro chemical batteries and heat generation systems

Claim 1

AN ELECTRODE GAP CONTROL SUSTEM SYSTEM COMPRISING ELECTROCHEMICAL ENERGY PRODUCING CELLS HAVING A CONDUMABLE ANODE AND AN INERT CATHODE IMMERSED IN A LIQUID ELECTROLYTE, THE IMPROVEMENT COMPRISING: A. AT LEAST ONE ANODE ELECTRODE SPACER MEANS MOUNTED ON SAID ELECTRODE; B. A PLURALITY OF ELECTRODE SPACER MEANS MOUNTED ON AN PROJECTING FROM SAID AT LEAST ONE CATHODE ELECTRODE FROM SAID SPACING SAID AT LEAST ONE CATHODE ELECTRODE FROM SAID AT LEAST ONE ANODE ELECTRODE; C. THE WIDTH OF EACH SAID PROJECTING SPACER MEANS BECOMING GRADUALLY NARROWER AS IT EXTENDS FROM THE CATHODE ELECTRODE SURFACE UNTIL IT REACHES ITS APEX; D. A PLURALITY OF CHAMFERED HOLES IN THE ANODE ELECTRODE, EQUAL TOAND MATCHING RESPECTIVE SPACERMEANS ON THE ADJACENT SURFACE OF THE CATHODE ELECTRODE,IN WHICH THE RESPECTIVE APEX ENDS OF SAID SPACER MEANS SEAT; E. THE INCLUDED ANGLE OF SAID CHAMFERED HOLES BEING GREATER THAN THE INCLUDED ANGLE FORMED BY THE SIDES OF SAID SPACER MEANS; F. MEANS FOR PROVIDING A LOADING FORCE ON SAID ANODE AND CATHODE ELECTRODES IN A DIRECTION TOWARD EACH OTHER; G. THE APEX OF SAID SPACER MEANS TRAVELING THROUGH SAID CHAMFERED HOLES AS THE SURFACE OF THE ANODE ELECTRODE IS CONSUMED BY ELECTROLYTE ACTION., RESULTING IN THE CHAMFERED HOLES BECOMING LARGER AND THEREBY AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTING THE SPACER BETWEEN SAID ANODE AND CATHODE ELECTRODES.
