$1,5 Million to Replace Old Military Batteries with Kinetic Generators |
|
The effectiveness of a soldier, or a group of soldiers depends on how they are trained and how quickly they act in a certain situation. The reaction speed in a mission depends on physical condition and also depends on the military equipment weight.
In general,soldiers military equipment includes batteries for portable talking stations and other communication devices. Researchers from the University of Leeds have thought that they could improve soldiers efficiency by reducing the weight of military equipment. Their plan is to replace classical military batteries(batteries used for military equipment weighing pretty much), with different electricity generators, kinetic generators, solar or wind powered systems.
A similar system we have presented in an earlier post on this post, a solar jacket, easier than military batteries. Were invested 1.5 million dollars to find ways of producing electricity from alternative sources, in particular through kinetic energy generated by human body. Here we can talk also about systems that could convert body heat in electricity. In this way, soldiers military equipment will be improved, and also soldiers efficiency will increase.
These systems will be based on piezoelectric technology. Piezoelectric effect is the property of some crystals to retain electrons when they are exposed any extent or compression process.
