Abstract

To solve the problem that a plurality of active substances having characteristics of pyroelectric effects is utilized as a power source or a heat source by generating power or generating heat through an energy interconversion action of a mixture in a device, in which the active substances are mixed and encapsulated, and a method for promoting the conversion action and improving conversion efficiency is needed.SOLUTION: Particles in a nano size are added to a mixture of a plurality of active substances encapsulated in a power generation device, such that a chemical reaction of plasmon resonance occurs in addition to a conventional energy interconversion action and becomes an amplification effect of in-device energy. In addition, an infrared ray cutoff film is adhered using a technique of an optical film for applying coating processing by using a magnetic body for an inner wall or an outer wall of the device. Such a method contributes to the solution of the problem by suppressing heat dissipation of infrared rays in the device to the outside of the device and promoting the energy interconversion action.SELECTED DRAWING: None

[0004] Optical film technology that blocks light of specific wavelengths Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Materials that have the property of the pyroelectric effect (the action of converting thermal energy into electrical energy) also have the property of converting electrical energy into thermal energy according to the laws of energy conversion. There has been a demand for a method for enhancing the energy interconversion action in power generating and heat generating devices that utilize the pyroelectric effect. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] (Solution 1) Method for amplifying thermal energy by plasmon resonance The material to be enclosed within the power generation device utilizing the pyroelectric effect is not only a mixture of a material with pyroelectric properties and a good conductor, but also an appropriate amount of nano-sized particles are added. (Or the mixture itself can be processed into nano-sized particles). As a result, in addition to the conventional energy exchange reaction, the thermal energy (light in the infrared wavelength range) generated within the device interacts with the nano-sized particles, causing a chemical reaction called plasmon resonance and promoting energy interaction, thereby contributing to solving the problem. (The material, size, shape, and amount of nano-sized particles used are not limited). (Solution 2) A method for amplifying thermal energy using magnetic energy A magnetic field (magnetic energy) has the property of blocking (not transmitting) most regions of infrared light. Taking advantage of this property, "ferromagnetic materials such as neodymium magnets," "metals that stick to magnets such as pure iron and nickel," and "highly conductive metals such as copper and aluminum, or good carbon-based conductors such as carbon allotropes" are processed into powder or liquid form and mixed together, and the mixture is then coated (applied) onto the inner or outer wall surfaces of the generator. This mixture generates a very strong magnetic field, and the presence of a strong magnetic field outside the interior where the pyroelectric effect substance is enclosed prevents infrared rays (thermal energy) inside the device from being dissipated outside the device, promoting energy exchange, thereby contributing to solving the problem. (Solution 3) A method for amplifying thermal energy using optical film technology There is a technology used in optical film technology that blocks infrared rays (does not allow them to pass through). They are attached to the windows of cars and trains, blocking only the infrared rays contained in sunlight, preventing the temperature inside the room from rising. This infrared blocking film is attached to the inner wall surface or the outer wall surface of the device in which the pyroelectric effect substance is enclosed. Alternatively, a coating process can be carried out using a powder or solution with the same chemical composition as the film. This prevents infrared rays (thermal energy) inside the device from being dissipated outside the device, promoting the energy interconversion process, thereby contributing to solving the problem.

Claims

1. A material that has the property of "pyroelectric effect (the action of converting thermal energy into electrical energy)" also has the property of "converting electrical energy into thermal energy" according to the law of mutual conversion of energy. There is a technology for generating and heating electricity that utilizes a chemical reaction (energy interconversion reaction) using a mixture of materials that have the properties of this pyroelectric effect (pyroelectrics such as tourmaline, metals such as tungsten, and semiconductors such as silicon) and good conductors (highly conductive metals such as copper and aluminum, and good carbon-based conductors such as carbon allotropes). In order to promote the power generation and heat generation (energy exchange) of this technology, a chemical reaction called plasmon resonance is utilized, which occurs when an appropriate amount of nano-sized particles is added to a mixture (whether in a solid, liquid, or other state) (or the mixture itself is processed into nano-sized particles). (Nano-sized particles resonate with different wavelengths of light depending on their material, size, and shape). This method generates electricity and heat by utilizing a chemical reaction (energy interconversion reaction) of a mixture of a "material with pyroelectric properties" and a "good conductor." By adding an appropriate amount of nano-sized particles to this mixture (or processing the mixture itself into nano-sized particles), a reaction called plasmon resonance occurs within the power generating device in addition to the conventional chemical reaction (energy interconversion reaction). This is a method of promoting power generation and heat generation (energy interconversion) by utilizing this chemical reaction. (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 absorbed within the particle rather than reflected, resulting in resonance. When the electrons within the particle resonate with the wave motion of the light, electrons with great energy called hot electrons are generated. The temperature rises due to the energy amplification effect of the infrared wavelength resonance, even without the addition of heat.)

2. In a power generation / heat generation method that utilizes a chemical reaction (energy mutual conversion action) using a mixture of a "substance having pyroelectric effect characteristics" and a "good conductor" as described in claim 1, if the thermal energy generated within the power generation device used is radiated to the outside of the device, the efficiency of the chemical reaction (energy mutual conversion action) within the device will decrease. A mixture of powdered or liquid forms of "ferromagnetic materials such as neodymium magnets," "metals to which magnets will stick such as pure iron," and "highly conductive metals such as copper or aluminum, or good carbon-based conductors such as carbon allotropes" is then coated (applied) onto the inner or outer wall surfaces of the device. This mixture has the material properties to convert magnetic energy into electrical energy and vice versa, generating an extremely strong magnetic field. (When a ferromagnetic material such as a neodymium magnet is processed into a powder or solution form and used as a coating material, the magnetic force is significantly weaker than when it is made into a mixture, but it still has a certain level of effect.) Since the magnetic field (magnetic energy) blocks (does not transmit) most of the infrared wavelength range of light, the presence of a strong magnetic field outside the active substance within the device has the effect of suppressing the radiation of infrared rays (thermal energy) generated within the device outside the device. In this way, the material properties of magnetic materials are used to suppress the radiation of infrared rays (thermal energy) from within the device to the outside of the device, thereby promoting the energy interconversion action within the device.

3. In the power generation and heat generation method utilizing a chemical reaction (energy interconversion action) using a mixture of a "substance having pyroelectric effect characteristics" and a "good conductor" as described in claim 1, if the thermal energy generated within the power generation device used is radiated to the outside of the device, the efficiency of the chemical reaction (energy interconversion action) within the device will decrease. This is a film used in optical film technology that selectively blocks light of specific wavelengths. There is also a film that blocks infrared rays. It is attached to the windows of cars and trains and blocks only the infrared rays contained in sunlight, preventing the temperature inside the room from rising. This infrared blocking film is attached to the inner or outer wall surface of the device in which the pyroelectric effect substance is enclosed. Alternatively, a coating process is performed using a powder or solution that has the same chemical composition as the film. In this way, optical film technology is used to suppress the radiation of infrared rays (thermal energy) from within the device to the outside of the device, and promote the energy interconversion action within the device.

4. An apparatus or facility using the method according to claim 1, claim 2, or claim 3.

5. A service or business using the device or facility according to claim 4.
