ABSTRACT:
A new power system employs aluminum as a primary fuel resulting in a total energy/volume ratio several times more favorable than gasoline. The system includes a fuel store, a reactor which may be the same mechanical element as the store and means to utilize the released energy. Illustratively, aluminum may be reacted with steam to form aluminum oxide with the release of large quantities of usable energy. After the reaction, the aluminum oxide may be reconverted to aluminum.
