Research Abstract |
Possibility of development of flexible energy devices, such as a transformer using magnetic fluid as a core and a device for transforming mechanical force to electric energy, has been investigated in this research project. We have prepared energy harvesting devices which is constructed of a rubber tube with 15mm in diameter and 120mm in length filled by magnetic fluid and an electric coil with 2300 turns, where the rubber tube is put on the coil. Pushing force on the rubber tube produced an electric voltage of about 10 mV at the terminal of the coil under a magnetic field by NdFeB magnet.
