    摘要: The invention relates to a device for converting heat energy into mechanical energy comprising a first (4) and a second (6) bistable area passing from a first stable state to a second stable state by means of a thermal effect or mechanical action, said areas (4, 6) being mechanically coupled such that the passage from one state to the other of one area (4, 6) by means of a thermal effect causes the other area (6,4) to pass from one state to the other, each area (4, 6) having a blistering temperature and an unblistering temperature, the blistering temperature being higher than the unblistering temperature. Said device is intended to be placed in contact with an environment (SC) having at least one given temperature, such that the temperature of the environment (SC) is lower than the blistering temperature of the first area (4) and is higher than the blistering temperature (Tc6) of the second area (6).

    摘要: Method for harvesting energy using an EAP based deformable body. The EAP based deformable body is an elastically deformable body including an arrangement of stretchable synthetic material and electrodes being arranged as a variable capacitor with a capacitance that varies as the deformable body stretches and relaxes. The method includes: looping through an energy harvesting cycle with a) stretching the deformable body from a minimal relaxed size L1 to a maximal stretched size L2; b) at the maximal stretched size electrically charging of the variable capacitor to create an electric field over the capacitor with an upper electric field level value; and subsequently c) a relaxation step from maximal stretched size to the minimal relaxed size; d) at the minimal relaxed size of the deformable body, electrically discharging the capacitor to a minimal charge level and a minimal electric field level value.
