Can rice cookers, refrigerators, and even the heat emitted by kitchen appliances be converted into usable energy?
Mitsubishi Electric (Hong Kong), which has always been keen to promote environmental education, recently sponsored the research project of "Direct Thermal Rechargeable Battery" by Dr. Feng Xianping from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Hong Kong to support the development of this scientific research and contribute to green innovation and technology. .
In addition, Mitsubishi Electric and Dr. Feng's team also organized the "Hot "Charge" and "Child" Nature" event, aiming to enable more children to learn about the application of renewable energy and related environmental protection knowledge. Learn about!
Sponsor the application of the new "Direct Thermal Rechargeable Battery" to contribute to the green environment
Mitsubishi Electric has always taken "Changes for the Better" as its purpose, and has continued to innovate for 100 years, providing reliable, high-quality and advanced products, and is committed to developing high-end green technology, hoping to contribute to the sustainable development of society.
The "direct heat rechargeable battery" is a scientific research result developed by Dr. Feng Xianping from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Hong Kong for 8 years. Carbon emissions to alleviate global warming.
Regarding the future development direction of this new invention, Dr. Feng pointed out: "As the power required to operate electronic sensing devices decreases, in the near future, this battery may have the opportunity to recover part of the human body's heat energy for wearable electronic devices and Sensor power supply." The "direct thermal rechargeable battery" developed by Dr. Feng's team coincides with Mitsubishi Electric's concept of supporting innovative technology and practicing a sustainable society, which contributed to the opportunity for this sponsorship.
Through this plan, Mitsubishi Electric hopes that Dr. Feng's team can continue to invest in research and development, and promote this invention to the application level, and jointly create a better green society.
Mr. Makoto Kitai, Chairman and General Manager of Mitsubishi Electric (Hong Kong) said: "Mitsubishi Electric is committed to creating a sustainable society through continuous technological innovation and infinite creativity. Just like the invention of the "Direct Thermal Rechargeable Battery", Can contribute to a green environment."
"Direct heat rechargeable batteries" can effectively convert waste heat into electrical energy.
At present, its conversion efficiency exceeds 5%, surpassing all existing thermoelectrochemical and thermoelectric systems.
"Heat "Charge" and "Child" Nature" workshop to cultivate children's concept of environmental protection
In order to arouse the awareness of the new generation of making good use of the earth's resources and environmental protection, Mitsubishi Electric (Hong Kong) held a "Hot "Charge" and "Child" Nature" workshop in June this year, and invited Dr. Feng Xianping and children to participate. The content includes Dr. Feng introduced renewable energy and explained the principle of "Direct Thermal Rechargeable Battery", as well as a wealth of activities for children to put the theory into practice.
While understanding the basic circuit knowledge, children can learn and use them on the spot, using conductive ink to complete animal drawings.
After the circuit is turned on, the electrical energy converted from waste heat will instantly drive the sound device to broadcast animal sounds.
At the end of the activity, the children personally posted the completed animal pictures on the nature background map, and pressed down the animal sounds together, symbolizing the use of innovative environmental protection technology to protect the harmony of nature.
Mitsubishi Electric hopes to use this activity to inspire the next generation to use creative thinking and contribute to the earth.
In the workshop, Dr. Feng Xianping explained to children how "direct heat rechargeable batteries" absorb waste heat, convert them into electrical energy, and recycle them to reduce energy waste. It is a new scientific research product that is conducive to the sustainable development of earth resources.
The children learned in the workshop that the heat of the original cup of hot water has been converted into usable energy.
Using conductive ink to paint, children can more easily understand the principle of electrical circuits, and learn in games.
Participate in the mini game to give away the "Animal Circuit Card Collection"!
After the workshop, Mitsubishi Electric (Hong Kong) is preparing to integrate animal pattern circuits into an animal circuit card set to continue to promote renewable energy and promote environmental awareness.
The box includes an animal connection diagram, a conductive ink pen, a battery that converts waste heat into electrical energy, and a sound device. After receiving it, children can easily play and learn at home or school.
Please pay attention to the Mitsubishi Electric (Hong Kong) Facebook page to https://fb.watch/7COZzD_q8P/, participate in the mini game, and you will have the opportunity to receive an animal circuit card set!
