Abstract
A non-electrical battery can include a backing plate; a plurality of strings disposed in parallel relation on the backing plate, each string comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of each string is attached to the backing plate and each string extends away from the backing plate; and a charging mechanism attached to the second end of each string to apply a force to the strings to increase a potential energy stored by the strings.
Claims48
A non-electrical battery, comprising:
- a backing plate;
- a plurality of strings disposed in parallel relation on the backing plate, each string comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of each string is attached to the backing plate and each string extends away from the backing plate;
- and
- a charging mechanism attached to the second end of each string to apply a force to the strings to increase a potential energy stored by the strings.
A non-electrical MEMS battery, comprising a plurality of textural members arranged in parallel relation to one another, wherein the plurality of textural members are between 300 μm and 1 cm in length.
A non-electrical MEMS battery, comprising a first member having a first major surface and a second major surface, a second member having a first major surface and a second major surface, a plurality of textural members attached to and connected between a major surface of the first member and a major surface of the second member.
A non-electrical MEMS battery, comprising a plurality of textural members attached to a membrane and arranged in parallel relation to one another, wherein membrane and plurality of textural members form a brush.
