Thinking of these scenes full of science fiction, are you looking forward to the era of the Internet of Things?
Around us, in fact, there is friction energy everywhere. In nature, wind mulberry leaves, rapping the roof, there is friction; people walking, feet and the ground, limbs and clothing contact, there are friction; mechanical vibration, voice, etc., can also produce friction. Can these humble friction energy be collected for the sensor to power it? The friction generator developed by the team of Wang Zhonglin, a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a chief scientist at the Institute of Nano-Energy and Systems, Chinese Academy of Sciences, provides a potential solution for self-driving sensors
The most appealing is a tennis-sized wave that rubs the generator, turning it on as long as the waves swing gently. It is also another direction the research team hopes friction generators can get into - a massive collection of "blue energy." Compared with the traditional electromagnetic induction generator, the friction generator is more advantageous in collecting water in the ocean. Therefore, the wave, tide and ocean currents in the ocean are lower (0.1 ~ 2Hz) while collecting the low frequency Energy, the output friction friction generator is much higher than the electromagnetic generator. In the future, if scientists can integrate multiple friction generator units into a network structure to collect the enormous water energy contained in the oceans, a revolution in energy will surely be triggered.
"From the present invention to the present, the friction generator has reached 70 points in stability (total 100 points) in just four or five years. In the future, we hope to continue to improve its reliability and efficiency while finding only this Technology can solve the special application, "Turning to the future of friction electric generator, Wang Zhonglin is full of confidence," Next, we will vigorously promote the industrialization of friction electric generator.In the second half of this year, a combination of friction power generation principle of air purification Will be on the market, at the same time, the use of friction power generation smart shoes and smart clothes are also commercial design.
