DESIGN, ANALYSIS AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDYOF A MECHANICAL BATTERY

摘要

In the present paper, a mechanical battery developedrnis introduced, with which the mechanical energy isrntransformed to electrical energy. In order to acceleraternthe speed of the generator rotor, a gear train is used. Therngenerated energy is stored in a double layers capacitor.rnThe mechanical battery is made in the same size as arnD-type chemical battery so as to be easily used in placernof a chemical battery, only by connecting the positivernand negative poles of the battery to an electricalrnappliance. After it is successful developed, somerncharging and discharging experiments are carried out.rnThe results show that the mechanical battery is able torndrive some electrical appliances, such as a mini-radio, anrnilluminating LED, or a calculator. The mechanicalrnbattery is much suitable for the usages such as forrnmountain climbing or in the remote areas having no otherrnkinds of electricity.
