Abstract
⺠Underwater propulsion using aluminum-water combustion for high energy density. ⺠Included SOFC for eliminating H2 venting, improved efficiency, depth independence. ⺠Developed scaling methods to link thermodynamics to system energy density. ⺠2.5- to 7-fold range improvement over batteries with aluminum combustor system. ⺠3- to 4-fold improvement over batteries (and no H2 venting) when SOFC is added.
