Nanogenerators for Self-Powered Gas Sensing

Looking toward world technology trends over the next few decades, self-powered sensing networks are a key field of technological and economic driver for global industries. Since 2006, ZhongLinWang’s group has proposed a novel concept of nanogenerators (NGs), including piezoelectric nanogenerator and triboelectric nanogenerator, which could convert a mechanical trigger into an electric output. C...

Development of a Hot Gas Actuator for Self-Powered Robots

This paper describes the design of a liquid-propellantpowered hot-gas actuator appropriate for human-scale power-autonomous robots. A prototype of the actuation system is described, and closed-loop tracking data is shown that demonstrates good motion control. Experiments to characterize the energetic performance of the actuation system indicate that the proposed system with a diluted propellant...

The Optimized Solar-Powered LED Lighting System in Gas Stations

In accordance with the specifications for the design of the gas station lighting system, the original lighting system was transformed into the overall solar-powered LED lighting system. The original lighting was replaced by using the same illumination LED lamps. Calculations were made to determine the optimum tilt angle of solar components. Based on the reasonable LOLP rate, solar module and ba...

JIMO Mission with Antiproton Powered Gas Core Fission Rocket

Recent theoretical and experimental studies have shown that “at rest” annihilation of antiprotons in U nuclei results in fission at nearly 100% efficiency. The resulting highly charged, very energetic fission fragments can be utilized to heat a suitable medium to very high temperatures. Such an ionized medium can be confined by a magnetic field during the heating process, and if subsequently ej...
