            Appeal No.  2001-2650                                                     
            Application No.  08/808,639                                               

            pressure when said ozone is discharged.                                   
                 31. An electric energy converting/storing method,                    
            comprising the steps of:                                                  
                 producing an ozonized gas by using electric energy;                  
                 storing ozone contained in said ozonized gas, wherein said           
                 stored ozone contained in said ozonized gas is absorbed by           
                 an adsorbent; and                                                    
                 discharging said stored ozone as an ozone containing gas             
            for utilization thereof, wherein a pressure around said                   
            adsorbent is above atmospheric pressure when said ozonized gas            
            is adsorbed and said pressure around said adsorbent is below              
            atmospheric pressure when said ozone is discharged.                       
                 32. An electric energy converting/storing method                     
            according to claim 30,                                                    
                 wherein a temperature of said adsorbent is controlled when           
                 said ozonized gas is adsorbed and said temperature of said           
                 adsorbent is not controlled when said ozone is discharged.           
                 33. An electric energy converting/storing method                     
            according to claim 30,                                                    
                 wherein said ozonized gas is stored by a plurality of                
            ozone adsorption/desorption towers.                                       
                 34. An electric energy converting/storing method                     
            according to claim 31,                                                    
                 wherein a temperature of said adsorbent is controlled                
            when said ozonized gas is adsorbed and said temperature of                
            said adsorbent is not controlled when said ozone is                       
            discharged.                                                               
                 35. An electric energy converting/storing method                     
            according to claim 31,
