中大團隊研發「人體動能」發電裝置 智能手錶或可永久免充電

智能手錶和手環日漸普及,但電池耐用程度較低,用家不時需要充電。香港中文大學機械與自動化工程學系系主任廖維新,帶領其研究團隊,花近十年研發出可以將人體動能轉換為電力的裝置。用家戴手錶正常活動,裝置可產出足夠電能供日常使用,將來有望為智能手錶和手環提供用之不盡的電力,免卻用家天天充電的煩惱。團隊正與鐘錶製作公司商討合作,最快半年內或會有好消息。

中大研採集裝置 「永續」智能錶電力

智能手錶及手環雖方便,但如忘記充電,電力秏盡時亦無所用。
 
為做到永續電力,中大機械與自動化工程學系主任廖維新花近10年研究出「高效電力採集裝置」,可用於智能手錶及手環,只要用家戴上手錶正常活動,裝置就可產生足夠的電能供全日所需。目前廖維新正與瑞士和中國的鐘錶製作公司接洽,希望未來在其產品中使用他的發明,有望半年內有所進展。

「揮一揮手」即為智能手錶充電

智能手錶和手環近年大熱,坊間幾乎人手一隻,但此類便攜電子產品因電池容量小,電量往往無法持久,很快就與主人「say byebye」自動關機。中文大學機械與自動化工程學系主任廖維新透過磁性升頻器,研發出高功率的動能電力採集系統,將人體活動時肢體擺動轉化為電力的效能提高10倍,可望為穿戴式電子產品「永續供電」。近日他就相關成就獲美國機械工程師學會頒發「適應結構與材料系統獎」,成為香港學者獲此獎項的第一人。

中大研高效電力採集裝置 助智能手錶手環免充電

中大機械與自動化工程學系成功研究一套高功率人體動能電力採集的裝置,用家只需戴上手錶正常活動,便可為智能手錶和手環提供永續電力。 
 
現時部份傳統手錶使用微電機經由機械直齒輪發電,但由於機械齒輪結構不夠緊密等物理限制,產生的電力只夠供傳統手錶使用,無法滿足智能手錶的電力需求。中大機械與自動化工程學系主任廖維新教授率領的團隊,嘗試利用電磁組件取代機械直齒輪結構。

Prof. Wei-Hsin Liao was selected to receive the Adaptive Structures and Material Systems Award by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).  The Adaptive Structures and Material Systems Award recognises significant contributions to the sciences and technologies associated with adaptive structures and material systems. Professor Liao is the first Hong Kong recipient of this award. 
 
Professor Liao is an international expert in the area of mechanical engineering. Since 1997, he has been with the CUHK where he is currently the Chairman of the Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering, and the Director of the Institute of Intelligent Design and Manufacturing. Striving for the innovative spirit, his research has led to publications of over 280 papers in international journals and conference proceedings. He has also held numerous granted patents and recognitions. 
 
Professor Liao said, “I am truly honoured to have received this award from ASME. This is a recognition of my research team and I am grateful to my colleagues who have been there to support me over the years. As a scholar, not only do I hope that I can invent new solutions with engineering research, but I can also offer insights and inspirations to the next generation of youngsters, making them a force for technological advancement.”

Specialising in smart materials and energy harvesting, innovation achievements bring Prof. Liao an international awarde
