Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs I.The The invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim I.
Mobilität ist eine Grundvorraussetzung unserer Gesellschaft. Diese Mobilität wird durch Maschinen gewährleistet, die chemisch oder elektisch gespeicherte Energie in mechanische Arbeit umwandeln. Klassische Beispiele sind der Ottomotor und der Elektromotor. Der Ottomotor und verwandte Energiekonverter, die über den Umweg der Wärmerzeugung (z.B. Verbrennung von Kohlenwasserstoffen) mechanische Arbeit verrichten, sind aufgrund der limitierten Effizienz (max. der des Carnot-Prozesses, üblicherweise um 30%) und der hohen Schadstoffemissionen problematisch. Der Elektromotor hingegen hat eine hohe Effizienz und keine Schadstoffemissionen. Die Speicherung von elektrischer Energie (Batterien o.a.) ist im Gegensatz zu der von chemischer Energie (Benzin/Diesel/Gastanks) ein noch unbefriedigend gelöstes Problem, so daß meistens die chemische Energie in sog. Brennstoffzellen in elektrische Energie umgewandelt werden muss.Mobility is one Basic requirement of our company. This mobility is through Ensures machines, the chemically or electrically stored energy into mechanical Convert work. Classic examples are the gasoline engine and the Electric motor. The gasoline engine and related energy converters that over the Detour of heat generation (for example, combustion of hydrocarbons) perform mechanical work, are due to the limited efficiency (max of the Carnot process, usually around 30%) and the high pollutant emissions are problematic. The electric motor however, it has high efficiency and no pollutant emissions. The storage of electrical energy (batteries or similar) is in Unlike that of chemical energy (gasoline / diesel / gas tanks) a still unsatisfactorily solved Problem, so that mostly the chemical energy in so-called fuel cells into electrical energy must be converted.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, chemisch gespeicherte Energie direkt in mechanische Arbeit umwandelt, ohne über den Umweg der Wärmerzeugung zu gehen.task The invention is to provide a device, chemically stored Energy is converted directly into mechanical work, without over the Detour of heat generation to go.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 wiedergegeben.These The object is achieved by a device having the features of the claim 1 reproduced.
Wesentlicher Vorteil der Erfindung ist die direkte Umwandlung von chemischer Energie in mechanische Arbeit ohne den Umweg der Wärmeerzeugung oder zusätzlicher Aggregate. Im Ausführungsbeispiel wird die chemische Energie über die Gasreaktion 2H2 + O2 ⇔ 2H2O elektrochemisch in mechanische Arbeit umgewandelt. Die Vorrichtung kann bei Raumtemperatur betrieben werden, bei Wahl entsprechender Materialien sind auch höhere Temperaturen möglich. Durch die Verwendung niedriger Temperaturen sind keine Schadstoffemissionen zu erwarten. Die Leistungsregelung kann sowohl elektrisch als auch mechanisch gesteuert werden. Der H-Muskel ist das künstliche Pendant zum tierischen Muskel, er lässt daher vorzüglich in Robotern verwenden, da er ähnliche (lineare) Bewegungsformen ohne mechanische Übersetzungen erlaubt. Das Ausführungsbeispiel ist an die Speicherung von chemischer Energie in Form von Wasserstoff angepasst, andere chemische Reaktionen sind denkbar, die auch in flüssigen Medien durchgeführt werden können. Die Leistungsdichte erhöht sich bei Verwendung mikroskopischer Strukturen, so dass der H-Muskel auch als mikroskopischer Attraktor verwendet werden kann.An essential advantage of the invention is the direct conversion of chemical energy into mechanical work without the detour of heat generation or additional aggregates. In the exemplary embodiment, the chemical energy is converted electrochemically into mechanical work via the gas reaction 2H 2 + O 2 ⇔ 2H 2 O. The device can be operated at room temperature, with choice of appropriate materials and higher temperatures are possible. By using low temperatures no pollutant emissions are expected. The power control can be controlled both electrically and mechanically. The H-muscle is the artificial counterpart to the animal muscle, so it is excellently used in robots because it allows similar (linear) movement without mechanical translation. The embodiment is adapted to the storage of chemical energy in the form of hydrogen, other chemical reactions are conceivable, which can also be carried out in liquid media. The power density increases when using microscopic structures, so that the H-muscle can also be used as a microscopic attractor.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in den Zeichnung 1 und 2 dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher beschrieben. Es zeigenOne embodiment The invention is illustrated in the drawings 1 and 2 and is closer in the following described. Show it

Geschildert ist nur ein Ausführungsbeispiel. Alternativen ergeben sich insbesondere durch die Wahl anderer Geometrien. Die Leistungsdichte erhöht sich bei Verwendung mikroskopischer Strukturen, so dass der H-Muskel auch als mikroskopischer Attraktor verwendet werden kann.portrayed is only one embodiment. alternatives arise in particular by the choice of other geometries. The Power density increased themselves when using microscopic structures, leaving the H-muscle can also be used as a microscopic attractor.
Eine weitere Möglichkeit erschliesst sich durch die Verwendung von anderen chemischen Reaktionen. Der H-Muskel beruht auf dem Prinzip der elektrostatischen Anziehung aufgrund einer elektrochemischen Potentialdifferenz zwischen zwei Elektroden. Diese lässt sich auch durch andere Reaktionen als die hier geschilderte Gasreaktion realisieren. Insbesondere die Verwendung von flüssigen Reaktanden verspricht einen grossen Anwedungsbereich.A another possibility is revealed by the use of other chemical reactions. The H-muscle is based on the principle of electrostatic attraction due to an electrochemical potential difference between two Electrodes. This leaves also by other reactions than the gas reaction described here realize. In particular, the use of liquid reactants promises a large application area.
