| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed a portable power unit (jack) to support the initial rescue work in an isolated large earthquake disaster area. The portable motive power unit employs a hydrogen pressure from metal hydride and can lift heavy rubble 50 mm within one minute without electric power or fuels. A prototype jack which measures 357 mm diameter by 90 mm height provides output over 10000 N at an internal hydrogen pressure of 0.2 MPa while maintaining no hydrogen leakage. A calcium oxide / water reaction has been adopted as a heat source of the metal hydride. The portable power unit can be easily transported on foot in disaster sites where traffic and lifeline has been cut off and be available for the rescue of victims trapped in a closed space.
