The fuel is made up of a metal core, a metal barrier and an oxidizer layer. The combination of materials disclosed provides a means for melting the metal core so that it can be oxidized in an exothermic reaction to produce power. The metal fuel may also be stabilized with respect to auto-ignition by adding a binder layer. A method for producing the metal fuel is also described herein.Field of SearchMetal baseMetal coating Resin, rubber, or hardenable oil containing coating With post-treatment of encapsulant or encapsulating material (e.g., further coating, hardening, etc.) Applying superposed diverse coatings or coating a coated base Metal or metallic compound containing coating Metal base Nonaqueous dispersion Metal base Metal base Moving the base Inorganic coating material Metal coating | |
