Abstract
A triboluminescence isotope battery can include a housing defining a chamber, and one or more energy conversion devices. Each energy conversion device can include a holder, a cantilever beam, a triboluminescence component, a first photoelectric conversion component, a radioactive source, a first charge collecting component, a second charge collecting, a first thermoelectric conversion component, and a heat dissipation component.
Claims20
A triboluminescence isotope battery, comprising
- a housing, defining a chamber;
- and
- one or more energy conversion devices disposed in the chamber, each energy conversion device comprising
- a holder, disposed at the housing and in the chamber,
- a cantilever beam, having a first end region fixed at the holder, and a second end region movable in the chamber,
- a triboluminescence component, disposed at an upper surface of the first end region of the cantilever beam,
- a first photoelectric conversion component, disposed at an upper surface of the triboluminescence component,
- a radioactive source, disposed in the chamber and configured to emit a first charge and a second charge which have opposite polarity,
- a first charge collecting component, configured to enrich the first charge and disposed at a lower surface of the second end region of the cantilever beam,
- a second charge collecting component, configured to enrich the second charge and allow the second charge enriched thereby to attract the first charge enriched by the first charge collecting component such that the second end region of the cantilever beam moves toward the second charge collecting component,
- a first thermoelectric conversion component, disposed at an upper surface of the second end region of the cantilever beam, and
- a heat dissipation component, disposed at a surface of the first thermoelectric conversion component.
