    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for converting energy using a change of a contact area and a contact angle of liquid and, more specifically, to a method and a device for converting mechanical energy into electric energy by applying a reciprocal phenomenon of electrowetting, wherein liquid and gas are positioned between two facing substrates and energy is converted by using a volume change of a fluid, such that the present invention has the advantages of preventing channel-blocking without requiring all facing electrodes to be patterned, simplifying a device configuration, implementing easy control, and removing the need to apply an external power source.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a flexible energy conversion device using a liquid, and more specifically, to a method and a device for converting mechanical energy into electric energy by applying an opposite phenomenon of electrowetting, which can change a surface contacting the liquid between one pair of electrodes, and use the change of the surface contacting the liquid to generate electric energy, so as to prevent channel blocking or so that a lubricating layer or electrodes patterned onto a channel in a complicated manner are not required, thereby enabling simplification of the device, reduction of manufacturing cost, and the energy conversion device that is less faulty.
