Air-metal cell with constant interelectrode spacing

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A device for production of high outputs and efficiencies with high current densities in an electrochemical system, particularly a metal - air cell compris-, ing a consumable electrode, an air electrode an electrolyte, disposed in an electrolyte space and current take-off. The The consumable electrode has a rod-shape spacial form made at least partially of compact metal, the consumable electrode having a front face constituting a sole working surface and projects sealed in the electrolyte space. An air electrode is spaced by the smallest distance parallel to the working surface of the consumable electrode, and an adjustable mounting for one of the electrodes, particularly the consumable …
