Method for energy mutual conversion and power generation using chemical reaction by mixture of pyroelectric body and excellent conductor

Abstract

To solve the issue that an existing power source such as a power generator or a battery cannot generate electric energy permanently if energy from the outside of a device or an action material is not supplied or if exchange due to consumption of an action material is not performed in a device.SOLUTION: A pure iron having a material characteristic of a mutual conversion action of electric energy and magnetic energy, a highly conductive metal such as copper or aluminum, or a carbon-based excellent conductor such as a carbon isotope are processed into powder or liquid and are mixed together in an appropriate amount and ratio. When the mixture is sealed in a power generator and electricity is applied to the mixture temporarily from an external power source or the mixture is heated from an external power source, the mixture become capable of generating power and heat at one time in the device. The object is achieved by a method of power generation using a chemical reaction (the energy mutual conversion action) of the mixture of a pyroelectric body and an excellent conductor.SELECTED DRAWING: None

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an application technology that utilizes the material properties of pyroelectrics (pyroelectric effect, pyroelectric effect). [Background technology]

[0002] Second Law of Thermodynamics Application Technology Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] Conventional power generating devices or power sources such as batteries had the problem that they could not generate electrical energy continuously unless they were accompanied by "the supply of energy or active substances from outside the device" or "the replacement of active substances inside the device due to consumption." [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] To address this issue, pyroelectrics (such as tourmaline), which have the material property of converting between electrical energy and thermal energy, and highly conductive metals such as copper and aluminum, or good carbon-based conductors such as carbon isotopes, are processed into powder or liquid form and mixed in appropriate amounts and ratios to ensure that the constituent materials are evenly distributed. (As long as the chemical composition of the target substance is the same, there is no restriction on its state (solid, liquid, etc.) This mixture is sealed inside a power generation device, and electrical energy is temporarily supplied (energized) from an external power source, or thermal energy is temporarily supplied (heated) from an external heat source. The mixture then enters a state in which heat generation and electricity generation occur simultaneously within the device (a state in which electrical energy and thermal energy are mutually converted). This method of generating electricity by utilizing the chemical reaction (energy interconversion action) of this "mixture of pyroelectric and good conductor" solves the problems that existed with conventional power sources such as power generation devices and batteries. Furthermore, by using this method, it can be used not only as a power generation device (power source) but also as a heating device (heat source).

Claims

1. There are substances called pyroelectrics (such as the silicate mineral tourmaline). This substance has the physical properties of generating heat when a voltage is applied (current is passed through it), and generating an electromotive force when heated. This means that pyroelectrics have the ability to convert between electrical energy and thermal energy. This pyroelectric body is mixed with a highly conductive metal such as copper or aluminum, or a carbon-based conductor such as a carbon allotrope in powder or liquid form, and then mixed in appropriate amounts and ratios to ensure that the constituent materials are evenly distributed. (As long as the chemical composition of the target substance is the same, there is no restriction on its state (solid, liquid, etc.) This mixture is sealed in a power generating device, and is temporarily supplied with electric energy from an external power source (energized) or with thermal energy from an external heat source (heated). The mixture then reaches a state in which heat and electricity are generated simultaneously within the device (a state in which electrical energy and thermal energy are mutually exchanged). A method of generating electricity by utilizing the chemical reaction (energy interconversion) of this "mixture of pyroelectric and good conductor." When this mixed substance having power generation function is used as a power source for an electrical appliance, there are no limitations on its state (solid, liquid, etc.), nor on the shape or material of the outer frame of the power generation device (battery, etc.) in which the mixture is enclosed. Furthermore, the mixture does not need to be enclosed within the power generation device. This also includes the case where the solution mixture is directly applied to the inside of an electrical appliance like paint and then connected to electrical wires, circuits, etc.

2. A method of utilizing a physical effect called plasmon resonance to improve the power generation efficiency and power output of the power generation method according to claim 1. Plasmon resonance is a phenomenon in which, when light is irradiated onto a nano-sized particle, light of a specific wavelength contained in the light is not reflected but is absorbed within the particle and resonates. When the electrons in the particles resonate with the wave motion of light, electrons with great energy called hot electrons are generated. This physical action is generated within a power generation device or an amplifier device, thereby improving the pyroelectric effect (the conversion of thermal energy into electrical energy), power generation efficiency, and power output.

3. A power generation device or power source using the method according to claim 1 or 2.

4. A heating device and a heat source using the method according to claim 1 or 2.

5. An apparatus, facility, or defense equipment using the apparatus according to claim 3 or 4.

6. A service or business using the apparatus, facility, or defense equipment described in claim 5.
