Abstract:
PURPOSE: A dielectric elastomer generation unit, a joint attaching independent electricity generating apparatus including thereof, and a weight attaching electricity generating apparatus are provided to generate electrical energy by changing a transform layer. CONSTITUTION: A dielectric elastomer generation unit comprises the following: a transform layer(111) containing a dielectric elastomer in a gel form, generating electricity by the transformation of extending and contracting; a guide unit(114) maintaining the shape of the transform layer; electrodes(112, 113) formed on first and second surfaces by turns into a positive electrode and a negative electrode; and a housing for storing the guide unit and the electrodes.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An emergency power generation apparatus using a dielectric elastomer generator is provided to rapidly generate the large amount of electric power for itself, thereby efficiently handling the emergency. CONSTITUTION: An outer electrode outputs the generated electric power to the outside. At least one dielectric elastomer generator (100) has the outer electrode. The dielectric elastomer generator includes a wearing body, a fixing band, and an elastic body. An electrode connection unit (300) supplies the power to a charging circuit. The fixing unit (200) detachably fixes the dielectric elastomer generator.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an energy harvesting boosting module, comprising a boosting lever (30) including an a free end which receives an external force and has an opposite end connected to one end of a mounting bed (10) in a state of being spaced apart from a piezoelectric element (20) in a length direction of the piezoelectric element (20) included in the mounting bed (10); a joint (40) which acts as a lever center of the boosting lever (30); and a press (50) for receiving a load applied by amplifying the external force through a portion where the boosting lever (30) is connected to the joint (40) and compressing the piezoelectric element (20). Therefore, the energy harvesting boosting module can have a high efficiency compared to a piezoelectric element stroke amplification manner, realize the unlimited expandability through a superposition operation of a lever principle, in particular, be miniaturized using the lever principle to be easily mounted in the limited space such as military boots.
