Polymeric liquid with nanotubes and tiny turbines
(dimensions ~ 500x500x1000 um)
dispersed
throughout is cured and inert gas is pumped through to
induce spongy morphology upon curing. Now we have a
sponge with turbines in the walls that connect to
nanotubes in the bulk material.
The resulting
sponge should be able to connect to leads
and
generate current every time the sponge is contracted or
expanded in an appropriately viscous liquid (probably
water).
The tiny turbines need all the machinery to convert
mech. to
elec. energy. each turbine has electrodes that randomly
connect to nanotubes; these tubes in turn send current
throughout the spongy material to the external
electrodes.
