A container including: at least one wall defining an interior cavity; a propellant disposed in the interior cavity; a release valve disposed in the at least one wall for selectively releasing the propellant from the interior cavity; and a heater for heating the propellant in the interior cavity. Preferably, the container is provided with a venturi device and operates as a suction device upon release of the propellant from the interior cavity into the venturi device.

摘要:
A device for generating power from a locomotion energy associated with leg muscles acting across an ankle joint. The device including: a cuff worn on the leg; a shoe; an energy absorbing element operatively connected to the cuff and shoe for absorbing energy during one or more periods of a periodic motion of the joint in which energy is absorbed by the muscles.
摘要:
A device for generating power during a locomotion cycle from mechanical energy of a living body. The device including an energy absorbing and converting device disposed across a joint of the living body, the energy absorbing and converting device configured to be selectively in an engaged state and in a disengaged state during selected portions of the locomotion cycle while the device remains disposed across the joint of the living body, wherein the device is engaged to absorb mechanical energy of the living body only during a portion of the locomotion cycle during which muscles of the joint would otherwise be doing work across the joint to absorb mechanical energy of the living body, the device is disengaged during a portion of the locomotion cycle during which the muscles are doing work across the joint to increase mechanical energy of the living body and at least partially converting the absorbed mechanical energy to converted energy and the converted energy is provided to one of an energy storage device or power consuming device.

An apparatus for generating an electrical power upon an acceleration of the apparatus is provided. The apparatus including: a piezoelectric member having at least a portion thereof formed of a piezoelectric material; and a mass-spring unit having a spring element attached to the piezoelectric material and configured to compress and/or elongate within a predetermined limit, the mass-spring unit further having a mass offset from the piezoelectric material; wherein the mass-spring unit is configured to vibrate within the predetermined limit, upon the acceleration of the apparatus, the vibration applying a cyclic force to the piezoelectric member to generate an output power from the piezoelectric member.
