β¦ Synopsis
To develop a hydrogen source for underwater applications, a composite of sodium borohydride and super absorbent polymer (SAP) is prepared by ball milling sodium borohydride powder with SAP powder, and by dehydrating an alkaline borohydride gel. When sodium polyacrylate (NaPAA) is used as the SAP, the resulting composite exhibits a high rate of borohydride hydrolysis for hydrogen generation. A mechanism of hydrogen evolution from the NaBH 4 -NaPAA composite is suggested based on structure analysis by Xray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The effects of water and NiCl 2 content in the precursor solution on the hydrogen evolution behavior are investigated and discussed.

Four-bar mechanisms traditionally are made of rigid links and they are used for path, motion or function generation. Actively changing the length of the rocker in a crank rocker four-bar mechanism results in the tip of the rocker following a closed path. In this paper a crank rocker mechanism has be
