    Abstract: Electrochemical cell has impervious electrode plates mounted in a symmetrical circular fashion forming a closely packed bundle of plates close to or on top of one another. These are spaced by spacers which form an electrolyte space between them, the spacing being 10 mm. The plates are arranged around a hollow rotatable shaft, the hollow space being connected to the electrolyte space and, being attached rigidly to the shaft, rotate with it when it rotates. The bundle can rotate as a whole, or all but the outer now of plates can rotate. Alternatively the plates can alternately rotate and stop. The electrical efficiency is much improved by close packing of the plates. However it can lead to high local current densities with consequent local corrosion of the plates. The centrifugal bundle gives the advantage of close packing but avoids the local corrosion.

    Abstract: Secondary batteries with aqueous acid solutions of lead salts as electrolytes and inert electrode base plates also contain redox systems in solution. These systems have a standard potential of from -0.1 to +1.4 V relative to a standard hydrogen reference electrode, do not form insoluble compounds with the electrolytes and are not oxidized or reduced irreversibly by the active compositions applied to the electrode base plates, within their range of operating potentials.

    Abstract: Electrochemical cell consists of two parallel disc shaped electrodes mounted inside a frame of insulating material to form an enclosed electrolyte space. The cell is mounted on a horizontal axis and can be rotated about this by a drive wheel contacting it. The cell can be of circular or square cross-section. In the electrolyte space formed by the frame and the electrodes, a further pair of electrodes can be mounted. These are polarised by the two outer electrodes. The chambers in the electrolyte space are connected by channels. The cell has reduced energy and space requirement. Often this is achieved by recirculation through the cell but the problem with this is that the flow pattern is not uniform, gives erosion in some areas and dead spots in others. The cell described avoids this.
