Energy harvesting using dielectric elastomers is an interesting possibility to convert ambient energy into electric energy. Different small scale prototypes of energy harvesting devices, like wave-power generators, have been developed so far. Nevertheless, the theoretical limits and practical implementation still have to be considered. To analyze and optimize the design of the dielectric elastomer...
Energy harvesting using dielectric elastomers is an interesting possibility to convert ambient energy into electric energy. Different small scale prototypes of energy harvesting devices, like SRI's wind- and wave-power generators have been developed so far. Nevertheless, the theoretical limits and practical implementation still have to be considered. In a previous paper the achievable energy gain...
Actuators based on magnetorheological fluids have already been realized with a coupling function due to their special advantages, such as a fast response time and an excellent controllability of torque. In this paper novel concepts for integrated designs of MRF based clutches in combination with a shiftable electromotive actuator are presented. For an optimized use of the design space both functionalities,...
