Abstract:
1. A power system comprising: a) at least one magnetic field source structured and arranged to produce at least one magnetic field having lines of flux extending in at least one first direction; b) at least one electrochemical energy source structured and arranged to produce at least one electrical potential from at least one electrochemical process; and c) at least one positioner structured and arranged to position said at least one electrochemical energy source in at least one position of interaction with such at least one magnetic field; d) wherein said at least one electrochemical energy source comprises at least one electrode structured and arranged to conduct at least one flow of electrical current, derived from such at least one electrical potential, in at least one second direction perpendicular to such first direction; e) wherein interaction between such at least one electric current and such at least one magnetic field produces at least one magnetic force acting substantially directly on said at least one electrochemical energy source in a third direction perpendicular to both such at least one first direction and said at least one second direction; and f) wherein action of such at least one magnetic force on said at least one electrochemical energy source produces at least one useable mechanical force.
