Charging a Battery with the Electric Organ Discharge of Malapterurus Electricus Catfish

چکیده
Energy providing to meet user’s requirements is an endless cause of concern. The people living in the developed countries, (G8) represent 13.1% of the world’s population. That 13.1% consumed in 2002 about 1500 Giga Joules per habitant in energy. For the remaining countries’ development, the need in energy will increase up to 500% in relation with the current level of need. Hence, it is necessary to harness new pollution free sources of energy like solar renewable energies. To meet that challenge of energy by taking into account the worldwide warming pollution we have studied Malapterurus electricus catfish in order to extract the electric energy contained in the electric organ discharge (EOD) of the catfish by charging a battery of accumulators.

Solving the oscillating electric dipole equation by Adomian decomposition technique
For modeling the electric organ discharge of Malapterurus electricus catfish we have set up the electromechanical scheme of the catfish as an electric dipole the charges of which are linked by a spring of stiffness k. We call this particular system of charges an oscillating electric dipole. Taking into account the main forces applied to this dipole and applying the Newton’s second law of motion...

The emergences of insecticide resistance in Anopheles and drug resistance in plasmodium have become a matter of great concern for malaria control in Africa South of Sahara. So many solutions have been applied except any electromagnetic challenge. Electromagnetic field can be fatal for all living being. In larval stage Anopheles are very vulnerable. We learn from Malapterurus electricus catfish ...

Electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles are a suitable alternative for vehicles with hydrocarbons fuels to reduce pollution and fossil resources. The batteries operate as the driving force for these vehicles. One of the most critical parameters of the battery is computing the state of charge (SOC). The best range for SOC of lithium-ion battery is between 20% and 90%, and charging and dis...
متن کاملA tail of two voltages: Proteomic comparison of the three electric organs of the electric eel
The electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) is unusual among electric fishes because it has three pairs of electric organs that serve multiple biological functions: For navigation and communication, it emits continuous pulses of weak electric discharge (<1 V), but for predation and defense, it intermittently emits lethal strong electric discharges (10 to 600 V). We hypothesized that these two e...
