Title: Method and apparatus for electric batteries including nano-components

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     The current invention is at the field of electric energy produces from electric batteries. More particularly, the invention relates to method and apparatus of nano-components electric batteries, designated to produce a higher production and output of an electric energy, and to enables a longer period of time operation of electrical devices and systems, or for a smaller and light-weight batteries, for improving electric vehicle operational abilities for example, or for improving electric devices and system operation abilities. 
     Electric energy produces by an electric batteries is one of the main energy sources which operating electric devices and system all over the world. There are some archeological findings, even from ancient Egypt period of time, of basic electrical batteries made from ceramic jug, some acid liquids, and an Anode and Cathode putted inside the acid from one side and from their other side connected with conductive electricity wires, for example, to the electric device and electric consumer, for the purposes of electricity production and electric consumer operation. 
     These days, electric energy from electrical batteries enabled by, “solid batteries”, and by batteries type such of those used for example in motorized vehicles, which some of them includes liquid acid. 
     Conventional automobile batteries, for example, include a fairly standard sized rectangular casing inside, for example, of which are positioned cells (six for 12 volt batteries, three for 6 volt batteries for example). The cells each contain positive and negative battery plates and appropriate electrolytic fluid to allow the battery to produce, store, and recharge electrical power. The operation of a conventional battery is well known within the art and will not be explained further at this point. Normal automobile batteries are rated between approximately 300 amps cranking power for the weakest batteries up to 800 or 900 amps for the most powerful. 
     Conventional battery technology has improved considerably in the last decades. Conventionally sized automobile batteries have increased power, increased life, better response to discharge and recharge, and less maintenance than predecessors. This allows improved starting, as well prolonged operation of electrical equipment and auxiliary equipment with the automobile battery. 
     A significant problem still exists, however. If for any reason the conventional automobile battery loses power, or is discharged, the needed source for electrical power is lost. There are no alternatives other than to jump start the automobile or to restore, or replace the battery. 
     The examples of situations where this scenario occurs are legion. If automobile lights are left on for extended periods of time without the car running, discharge of the battery is inevitable. If other auxiliary equipment such as radios, fans, or the like is left on without the engine running, similar problems can occur. Electrical shorts, or bad connections to the battery, may cause that it does not recharge during use, where failure of the battery leaves the vehicle basically helpless. 
     Other problems that come with reliance on a single battery are well known. Despite these problems, conventional batteries are almost universally utilized. Some attempts have been made to solve this problem but none have been accepted or apparently are satisfactory. 
     One example is the mounting of two or more conventional batteries in one automobile. When reserve power is needed, the second battery can be connected into the electrical system. 
     The problems with this system are very clear cut. The system doubles, or more than doubles the cost for battery power, utilizes twice the space, which many times precludes such a system being used, and requires additional needed hardware, such as connecting wiring, switches, and additional mounting structure. 
     The Baumheckel, Warren, Draper and Stroud patents utilize two separate batteries which are interconnected or switchable. Thiess describes a portable reserve battery canister which can be plugged into the automobile&#39;s electrical system through the cigarette lighter plug. 
     However, especially, the new approach of the increases in production and consuming an electrical vehicle at the last few years, see the electrical batteries development as the main task of that industries, and make the electrical batteries of those vehicles essential to that type of vehicle, and even to the hybrid type of vehicle, wherein, the main limitation of the electrical vehicle is because of the electrical battery limited power supply, which lives those vehicles in their most grave disadvantage compared to the vehicular types using fluid fuel, or the gas operated vehicles type for example. Wherein, the main disadvantage is due to the limited “route length” the electrical vehicle can provide until the batteries has to be recharge, or to be replaced, as the electrical battery is the main power of the electric vehicle. Wherein, solutions of multiple batteries, and even those of the “multiple solid batteries” to solve this problem are limited too, for the space it required, its size and weight, and their high costs. 
     New technologies developed in the last years, enabling to develop a new and a better electric batteries then some of these existing in the prior-art, such technology which fitted to develop a new type of electrical batteries, which presented in the present invention method and apparatus, are the nanotechnology process that enable a production of nano-particles from different materials by different process, such as by “top-down” method, in this method a force is activated upon some material for crush the material particles to a nanometers size. Another nanotechnology process that enable a production of nano-particles from different materials is by “bottom-up” method for example, in this method a wet chemical synthesis activated upon some compounds, in some conditions (temperature, pressure, time period and more . . . ), and by the chemical reaction and the relevant conditions, the compounds particles size changed to a nanometers size. Wherein, such process enabling a better electrical conductivity and a higher flow of electrons. 
     Wherein, the present invention method and apparatus renewing in electrical batteries by process that transform some of the batteries components and materials to “nano-particles”, wherein, some of the batteries components and materials that can be transformed to “nano-particles” are: the batteries components and materials that by changing them to “nano-particles” the flow of electrons between the batteries components and materials will increase, or the conductivity will be a better conductivity, or the absorption or the release of electrons between the batteries components and materials will increase, for some examples: some of the batteries components and materials that can be transformed to “nano-particles” by the method and the an electric batteries of the present invention are: the acid, the Ionic liquid, the components and materials that embodies the Anode, the positive pole; the Cathode, the negative pole; components and materials that influencing and enabling the flow of electrons between the batteries components and materials. 
     The present invention by its method and an apparatus of such nano-components electric batteries, designated to produce a higher production and output of an electrical energy, or to enables a longer time of continual operation of an electrical devices that use its electricity for operation, or for a smaller and light-weight batteries, these are some of the significant advantages over the existing prior arts batteries. Furthermore, the present invention by its method and an electric batteries of such nano-components electric batteries, designated to be applied in all the implementations that are using electrical batteries, and even for implementations in the prior-art that does not using electrical batteries, for example for use for electric consumers: devices and systems; for vehicles; for providing electricity to building and houses; for electrical vehicle for example, enabling for example for an electrical vehicle to preforms more kilometer of constant driving before charging, or replacing the batteries, comparison to the existing batteries enabling 120 kilometer, wherein, for example, this is the difference between a sufficient to a nun-sufficient performance of the batteries, from the vehicle driver point of view.
