Introducing an invention that efficiently converts the electrostatic attraction between electrodes into mechanical work, resulting in a significant generation of force.
Electrostatic attraction has the characteristic of increasing sharply as the distance between electrodes decreases. In conventional electrostatic actuators, the initial driving force is weak, and furthermore, the driving force is consumed in the deformation of the supporting members for the movable components, resulting in a reduced force that can be extracted externally. In this invention, by utilizing nonlinear springs and the like as members for storing mechanical energy, an electrostatic actuator is produced. By using springs, particularly nonlinear expanding and contracting springs, to convert the work done by electrostatic attraction into elastic energy, it is possible to efficiently convert electrostatic attraction into mechanical work, generate large forces and work, and also create a compact design. [Research Overview] ■ Efficiently converts electrostatic attraction between electrodes into mechanical work, resulting in a large generated force. ■ Ultra-compact. ■ Current flows only during the initial charging phase, making it energy-efficient. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
