After years of study, Wei-Chuan Liao success of the new research team to design high-performance transducer, so that collector efficiency gains into the 5 is expected to made of self-sufficiency, zero pollution, long-life battery ; Shown at right is Liangjun Rui.
Modern society, environmental pollution, the increasingly serious energy shortage, human urgently need to develop new green energy sources. In addition to solar, wind and hydro energy sources such as more people know, the fact there is a kind of invisible life, free green energy ─ ─ vibrational energy. In recent years, research teams around the world, it has become the focus of attention. The Chinese University professor in the Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering, Wei-Chuan Liao Xin, aThinkPad T60 battery successful breakthrough in the scientific community in the collection of vibrational energy bottlenecks, the first to design a new type of high-performance “transducers,” greatly increasing the vibrational energy is converted to the effectiveness of the power may be become the embodiment of self-sufficiency self-sufficiency, zero pollution, and long life battery million times. He therefore gained international authority of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 2009 annual “Best Paper Award (automation)”, or another will bring a new era of green energy.
Wei-Chuan Liao a new introduction that the vibration can be part of environment and energy (Ambientenergy) in a widely exist in different parts of everyday life, such as the people to do sports, vehicles, and even electrical appliances in use there is in the process of vibration, which includes kinetic energy and potential energy. He said frankly that in the past vibrational energy have been neglected, but with the the energy crisis and environmental issues looming, coupled with the development of micro-electronic components, the scientific community has begun to focus on energy-related research, but also gradually create a new world.
On the environment, energy, the energy harvesting (EnergyHarvesting) is the most important first step. Wei-Chuan Liao new interpretation, the vibration can be collected using a piezoelectric effect (PiezoelectricEffect) principles, through the unique material, when subject to compression can then be among the mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy. The design of high-performance transducers (EnergyTransducer) have used specially designed artificial piezoelectric ceramic (PiezoelectricCeramics), KD186 , MM165 , WW116 select the appropriate size and shape for energy harvesting purposes.
