Japan's Falken is developing a new technology that can use tires to generate electricity while driving. Falcon ’s parent company, Sumitomo Rubber Industries, and Kansai University professor Hiroshi Tani jointly developed an Energy Harvester that uses static electricity (that is, frictional charging) ) Accumulates electricity efficiently when the tire turns.
There are two layers of rubber inside the energy harvester, each layer of rubber is covered on an electrode, and a layer of negatively charged film is connected to the positively charged film. When it is fixed inside the carcass of a conventional tire, when the tire deforms during rotation, it generates electricity.
Engineers believe that this energy harvester can be used as a power source for sensors that do not require batteries in TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) and other automotive equipment, thereby realizing practical applications.
It was developed as part of Sumitomo's R & D program to develop technologies that improve safety and environmental efficiency. Now, the research has been selected by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (National Research and Development Agency) as an FS-type seed project under A-STEP (a goal-driven R & D adaptability and seamless technology transfer program). Sumitomo Rubber Industries will now advance this research with the support of the Japan Science and Technology Agency.
