    摘要: Systems and methods for modifying ice adhesion strength of ice adhered to an object. An electrode is electrically insulated from the object and a power source, e.g., a battery, is coupled to the object and the electrode. The source generates power to an interface between the ice and the object when the ice completes the circuit. The object is conductive or is doped as a semiconductor so that a voltage to the interface selectively modifies the ice adhesion strength. The strength can be increased or decreased relative to its static state (i.e., the state without applied voltage). Ice can, thus, be removed with less work. The system preferably includes an electrically insulating material disposed between the object and the electrode; the insulating material is substantially conformal to the object and the electrode. The invention also includes a ferroelectric material applied to power lines to melt or prevent ice formation.

    摘要: A plurality of electrodes in a solid object are located proximate to the contact interface between an ice layer and the surface of the solid object. A power source provides a potential difference across the electrodes to generate an electric field at the contact interface, thereby increasing the friction force between the solid object and the ice. Preferably, the power source is in AC power source. A capacitor in series between the power source and the electrodes creates an additional impedance for limiting the AC current to a level safe for human exposure.

    摘要: An apparatus for deicing an outer shell includes an element comprised of shaped memory metal which undergoes a transformation from a weaker low temperature form (Martensite) to a stronger, high temperature form (Austenite) when the element is heated through its transformation temperature. The change in shape is utilized to deflect the outer shell to thereby shed ice accumulated thereon.

    摘要: A deicing system for an aircraft engine (4) having blades (14, 16) fixedly attached to rotating propulsors (6, 8) has emitters (22, 28) which irradiate microwave beams (24, 26, 30 32) onto coatings (18, 20) which are fixedly attached to said blades (14, 16). Substantially more of the energy of the beams (24, 26, 30, 32) is absorbed by the coatings (18, 20) than by any water or ice on the blades (14, 16) causing any ice which is on the blades (14, 16) to be thrown off by the centrifugal force of the rotating propulsors (6, 8).
