Abstract
A concept for storing energy in small silver-zinc cells enclosed in pressure proof glass instrument housings is presented. These Energy Spheres can be configured to cover a large range of weight to displacement ratios. The resulting energy storage systems are shown to be highly competitive with the popular pressure balanced systems used in many submersibles.
