[0003] Second Law of Thermodynamics Application Technology Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] 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]

[0005] Tungsten, which has the material property of being able to convert between electrical energy and thermal energy, and highly conductive metals such as copper and aluminum, or carbon-based conductors such as carbon allotropes, are processed into powder or liquid form and mixed together in appropriate amounts and ratios to ensure that there is no bias in the constituent materials. (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 from an external power source (energized) or thermal energy is temporarily supplied 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 converted). The problem is solved by using the chemical reaction (energy interconversion) of this "mixture of tungsten and good conductor" to generate electricity. Furthermore, this method can be used not only as a power generation device (power source) but also as a heating device (heat source). Furthermore, when a certain amount of electricity is generated and heat is generated, light energy is generated, making it applicable as a lighting device (light source).

Claims

1. Incandescent light bulbs mainly use a metal called tungsten processed into a coil (thin wire) as a light source. Tungsten has a large electrical resistance and therefore generates a large amount of Joule heat. Therefore, even a small current generates heat, and this heat causes the material to emit light. The principle behind the light emission of incandescent light bulbs is not the direct conversion of electrical energy into light energy, but rather the action (by-product) of thermal energy. Tungsten converts electrical energy into thermal energy, and when this thermal energy reaches a certain level, light energy is generated. Therefore, according to the law of energy interconversion, tungsten has the material property of being able to interconvert between electrical energy and thermal energy. This tungsten is mixed with highly conductive metals such as copper and aluminum, or carbon-based conductors such as carbon allotropes 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 electrical energy is temporarily supplied from an external power source (energized) or thermal energy is temporarily supplied from an external heat source (heated). The mixture then reaches a state in which heat and electricity are generated (light is emitted when the temperature reaches a certain level) simultaneously within the device (a state in which electrical energy and thermal energy are being converted into each other). This is a method of generating electricity by utilizing the chemical reaction (energy interconversion) of this "mixture of tungsten and good conductors." When this mixture having a power generating function is used as a power source for electrical appliances, there is no restriction on whether it may be in a solid or liquid state. Furthermore, there are no limitations on the shape and material of the outer frame of the power generating device (such as a battery) in which the mixture is enclosed. Furthermore, the mixture does not need to be enclosed within the power generating device, and the liquid mixture may be directly applied to the inside of an electrical appliance like a paint and connected to electrical wires, circuits, etc. for use.

2. A power generating device, a power source, using the method according to claim 1.

3. A heating device or heat source using the method according to claim 1. (Because thermal energy can be obtained with a small amount of electricity, small amounts of tungsten can be used to make portable hand warmers, hot water bottles, food warmers, etc.)

4. A lighting device, a light source, using the method according to claim 1.

5. An apparatus or facility using the apparatus according to claim 2, claim 3 or claim 4.

6. A service or business using the device or facility according to claim 5.
