Portable Pneumatic Battery: Chemical Power Generation for Fluidic Elastomer Actuators

技术优势

-Portable and silent pressure generation-Green/ Clean technology: No emissions or harmful byproducts.-High energy density: Pure H2O2 has a theoretical energy density of 2.7 kJ/g. The energy density of our peroxide solution is comparable to Lithium batteries.-Oxygen generation: In addition to pressure, oxygen can be stored and transported with our device. This eliminates the need for high pressure tanks, but can still offer high oxygen density.

技术应用

Convert chemical energy to mechanical energy for use in robotics, wearable tactile interfaces, and active orthoses or prostheses.

*Abstract

Problem:Fluidic actuators require a pressure source, which limits their mobility and mainstream usage.Technology:This invention uses a chemical approach to achieve portable and silent pressure generation. It specifically focuses on on-demand pressure generation by mechanical self-regulation of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into oxygen (O2). Another key feature is its rotation-invariant usage, which allows the battery to operate in any orientation.
