研究人员们相信,他们已经研制出了一种新型的装置,可以利用空气中的能量为你的手机和其他的电子设备充电。
They have found that by harnessing energy from the air around us could potentially power wireless sensors, microprocessors and communications chips.
他们发现,存在于你我周围的空气里所具有的完全无公害的能量具有一种潜力,可以为无线传感设备,微型处理器以及通信电脑芯片补充电量。
These 'energy scavenging' devices could even be stored in places like our shoes and can be used by itself or with other generating technologies.
这样的“能量收集”设备可以被放置于任何的空间环境之下,甚至于是我们的鞋子之中,它能够自给自足补充电量,或者与其他的发电装置相连。
Manos Tentzeris, professor in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, said: 'There is a large amount of electromagnetic energy all around us, but nobody has been able to tap into it.'
Manos Tentzeris教授就职于美国坐支亚洲工业大学的电气和计算机工程学院,他说:“在我们大家的周围便存在着大量的电磁能源,不过却从没有人能够将其很好的利用起来。”
If a battery or a solar-collector or battery package failed completely, scavenged energy could allow the system to transmit a wireless distress signal while also maintaining critical functionalities, according to a Georgia Tech statement.
据佐治亚理工学院所发表的一份申明称,一旦当电池、太阳能集热器、电池组失效或故障时,能量收集器便能发出提醒的求救型号,于此同时,保持着电器关键性的功能正常运转。
