摘要: Methods and apparatus for the generation of energy from oxidation aluminum comprise means breaking up continuity passivating oxide layer on surface by exposing said to a mercury-, indium- or gallium-containing substance, surface-treated fluid which is capable oxidizing aluminum, withdrawing useful reaction. The may be air, with energy-withdrawing thermal engine, preferably closed cycle type. Alternatively, an aqueous electrolyte, neutral saline, mildly alkaline acidic solution, comprising electrochemical cell.
