ABSTRACT:
In an intermittent process, hot reaction by-products are collected and stored in a thermal reservoir to provide heat when the process is not operating. In the preferred embodiment of a vehicle having a heat engine which derives power from a reaction of an alkali metal with water, molten alkali hydroxides are separated from a gaseous exhaust and stored in a thermal reservoir. In frigid weather prior to starting, a thermal exchange fluid transfers heat from the thermal reservoir to melt sufficient alkali metal and water to assure an engine start.
