Description

[Technical Field]

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

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

[0003] Conventional power generation devices or power sources such as batteries have the problem that they cannot generate electrical energy continuously unless they are "supplied with energy or active substances from outside the device" or "replaced due to consumption of active substances inside the device." [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] To address this issue, organic compounds with the material property of converting electrical energy into thermal energy and vice versa, highly conductive metals such as copper and aluminum, or good carbon-based conductors such as carbon allotropes, are processed into powder or solution form and mixed in appropriate amounts and ratios to ensure that the constituent materials are balanced. (As long as the chemical composition of the target substance is the same, there is no restriction on its state, such as solid or liquid.) This mixture is sealed in a power generation device, and electrical energy is temporarily supplied (energized) from an external power source, or thermal energy is 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 (heat generation may also result in light emission)). This method of generating electricity by utilizing the chemical reaction (energy interconversion) of this "mixture of organic compounds and good conductors" solves the problems that existed with conventional power generation devices or power sources such as batteries. Furthermore, this method can be used not only for power generation devices (power sources), but also for heating devices (heat sources) and lighting devices (light sources).

Claims

1. Compounds containing carbon, such as those derived from living organisms such as animals and plants, are called organic compounds. Organic compounds are good conductors with high electrical conductivity, as evidenced by the fact that bamboo was once used as the filament (light source) of incandescent light bulbs. Although it is a material that conducts electricity easily, when current is passed through it (when voltage is applied), Joule heat is generated. "When electrical energy is applied, thermal energy is generated" means that "when electrical energy is applied, it is converted into thermal energy," which, according to the law of energy exchange, means that "when thermal energy is applied, electrical energy is generated (when thermal energy is applied, it is converted into electrical energy)." In other words, organic compounds have the ability to convert electrical energy into thermal energy and vice versa (pyroelectric effect). Depending on the type of organic compound, when electrical energy is supplied (energized), light may be emitted. However, since light energy (visible light) is generated along with the generation of thermal energy (infrared), it is not the case that electrical energy is converted into light energy (visible light), but rather that electrical energy is converted into thermal energy (infrared), and as the thermal energy increases, light energy is also generated, and this is not a mutual conversion between electrical energy and light energy. This organic compound is processed into powder or solution form with a highly conductive metal such as copper or aluminum, or a good carbon-based conductor such as a carbon allotrope, and then mixed in appropriate amounts and ratios to ensure that the constituent materials are balanced. (As long as the chemical composition of the target substance is the same, there is no restriction on the state of the substance, such as solid or liquid.) This mixture is sealed in a power generating device, and is temporarily supplied with electrical energy from an external power source (energized) or thermal energy from an external heat source (heated). 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 is a method of generating electricity by utilizing the chemical reaction (energy interconversion) of this "mixture of organic compounds and good conductors." When this mixture having the power generating function is used as a power source for electric vehicles, electric machines, and electrical appliances, there is no limitation on whether it is in a solid or liquid state. Furthermore, there are no limitations on the shape or material of the outer frame of the power generating device (such as a battery) in which the mixture is enclosed, and the mixture does not need to be enclosed within the power generating device. This also includes the case where the solution mixture is directly applied to the inside of an electrical appliance, etc., like a paint, and then connected to an electrical wire, circuit, etc.
