| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of various conditions on the AED. The output energy was reduced when the pathways between the electrode pads were formed by the conductive liquid. However, the remarkable change in the energy was not observed when they were not formed. These results mean that the energy loss is negligible small if the pathway does not exist between the electrode pads. The remarkable temperature increase was not observed when the contact area of electrode pads was reduced. However, there is a possibility of ignition if the surface is wet.
In this work, the influence of low-temperature environment on AED was also investigated. There was no effect on the main unit at low temperatures. However, for some kind of electrode pads, the film sheet tore and the gel remained on the base sheet below -9°C. From these results, we need to give attention to the temperature for AED, not only main unit but also the electrode pads.
