Q:Wave Line Magne與FMC-TENG.有何差別
Chat YouTube:
Wave Line Magne與FMC-TENG有一些區別，它們是不同的技術。
Wave Line Magne是一種利用水波能源的發電設備，
它是一根柔性長桿，在水中懸掛並被釣在海底。它具有磁力發電機、高壓和低壓室以及一個水泵。隨著海浪的起伏，長桿彎曲並產生能量，該能量被傳遞給發電機並被轉換為電能。 Wave Line Magne是一種低成本、低維護、長壽命、高效率的新型波動動力發電技術。

而FMC-TENG則是一種利用靜電產生電能的新型發電機， 它是由兩個圓筒組成的，外層圓筒採用人造毛皮塗層，內層採用塗有氟乙烯丙烯（FEP）等材料的電導材料塗層。當內部圓筒自由旋轉相對於外部圓筒時，靜電電荷被產生並被電極收集。 FMC-TENG整個發電過程都是基於靜電的發電原理，而且只能利用水面上震動和運動的波浪能量來引導內部圓筒的旋轉，從而產生電能。
因此，
Wave Line Magne和FMC-TENG缺點和優缺點不同，
應用領域也有所不同。
Wave Line Magne適用於需要在水中進行電力發電的應用場景，
而FMC-TENG適用於需要在海上利用波浪能量進行電力發電的場景。


0:00 When it comes to renewable energy, you must have been hearing a lot about wind, solar 0:04 power and of course lithium-Ion batteries. 0:07 Did you know, wave energy is quite a rage among industrialist looking for improved sources 0:12 of sustainable energy? 0:14 I’m not speaking about the Mexican wave here; I’m talking about the waves in the 0:18 ocean and one company is currently making waves on the renewable energy scene with wave 0:22 power. 0:23 Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) researchers have now developed a new cylindrical 0:30 triboelectric nanogenerator that is one big powerhouse that will power devices at sea 0:35 by converting the energy from waves into electricity. 0:38 Sounds cool right? 0:40 But before I tell you more, why don’t you click on the notification and subscribe to 0:43 this channel. 0:45 Now let’s get it on. Wave energy, the new carbon free source for renewable energy 0:51 Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is one of the leading research centers for R&D in 0:55 sustainable energy, analytical data, chemical discoveries and Earth science. 1:00 The new cylindrical triboelectric nanogenerator which they like to call FMC-TENG, is one awesome 1:06 baby that is about to redefine the way humans use wave energy. 1:11 Powering devices at sea to collect data will be a no brainer for this new process, and 1:15 besides that, researchers say that larger versions of the generator can also be built 1:20 to power ocean observation and communications systems, including acoustic and satellite 1:25 telemetry. 1:26 It has great potential to improve the process of wave energy and make it even more eco-friendly. Ocean Instrumentation, A billion-dollar industry 1:31 Now wave energy is considered one of the most promising forms of renewable energy. 1:35 It is an amazing alternative to fossil fuel energy that releases all that toxic carbon 1:41 emissions into the atmosphere, it’s really hurting mother earth. 1:45 Humans desperately need to find more and more ways of generating eco-friendly energy or 1:49 else climate change is going to be driving us crazy one day, in fact it already is if 1:54 you ask me. 1:55 Natural resources like heat, wind, solar and now wave energy need to become the in thing, 2:01 the trend of the day. 2:02 Marine scientists use a huge amount of electricity to power up data devices and for sophisticated How Does Wave Energy Work? 2:08 marine technology. 2:09 Ocean instrumentation is quite an important part of life. 2:12 Without such devices, we would never be able to monitor the movements of the oceans, ocean 2:17 currents, tsunamis, water levels and the like. 2:20 You wouldn’t be getting whether updates or when there is a hurricane approaching. 2:24 The problem is that ocean devices lie unattended and depend on battery capacity for data storage, 2:29 and transmission to shore. 2:31 If marine energy were to meet the needs of powering these devices, that would be a godsend. 2:37 Marine energy could provide a huge advantage at-sea power generation including colocation 2:42 with ocean. 2:43 Heck, Marine energy could also be used for generating power to small devices used in 2:47 defence applications too. 2:49 There is world of possibilities and that’s where PNNL’s new generator will make a phenomenal 2:54 impact, now do you see the connection? 2:56 But how exactly will wave energy be harnessed? 3:00 The process is not a complex one and is similar to all processes using the vigorous movement 3:04 or intensity of earth’s natural elements to generate energy. 3:08 Wave energy involves harnessing the energy from the movement of waves by placing electrical 3:13 generators on the surface of the ocean. 3:15 Let’s take a look at how wave energy works. Wave energy is always there, it will never be non-existent 3:18 In the ocean, it is tides that causes waves and that depends on lunar cycles, yes!! 3:22 it’s the moon that determines if you’re going to have a good day or a rough day at 3:26 the beach, unless you’re a pro surfer and love the rough surf. 3:29 The intensity, strength and size of tides, winds, weather, and waves all depend on lunar 3:35 cycles. 3:36 Through movement, waves rolling in the ocean create kinetic energy. 3:39 It is this kinetic energy that can be again converted into electricity and power. 3:45 Waves also move up and down as they roll along the ocean. 3:48 Energy can be harnessed from this up and down movement to power pistons and in turn generators. 3:52 Depending on the lunar cycles, tides, winds, and weather, waves can vary in size and strength. 3:53 As waves roll through the ocean, they create kinetic energy, or movement. 3:54 This movement can be used to power turbines, to create energy that can be converted into 3:55 electricity and power. 3:56 There are also several ways of harnessing wave energy that utilize the up and down motion 3:57 of the waves to power pistons and turn generators. 3:58 Wave energy is also a renewable source of energy and in fact, quite a valuable one at 3:59 that because it is a permanent resource that can never dry up. 4:01 For example, even a lithium-ion battery depends on lithium deposits in the earth but as long 4:07 as the moon moves around the earth and the earth tracks around the sun, waves re gonna 4:11 be there. 4:12 We’re never going to deprive the earth of anything and neither is wave energy going 4:16 to produce deadly carbon emissions like oil and coal. PNNL’s FMC TENG: redefining ocean technology 4:19 Now you know about wave energy so how will PNNL new wave generator take the entire process 4:25 up a notch? 4:26 The PNNL team have designed what they call an FMC-TENG or "frequency-multiplied cylindrical 4:33 triboelectric nanogenerator." 4:35 This is device built to draw power from low frequency waves out in the open ocean. 4:40 There are similar devices that use wave energy like the Cylindrical triboelectric nanogenerators 4:45 or C-TENGs which has been designed for low frequency wave energy harvesting. 4:50 But it has its challenges. 4:52 To operate, a C-TENG needs uniform , low amplitude, and low frequency water waves even in the 4:58 middle of the ocean. 4:59 PNNL’s FMC TENG has been designed to overcome the problems with C-TENGS and depends on the 5:06 same process of what scientists call the triboelectric effect. 5:09 Sounds complex to you? 5:10 Well, to put it in simple language, it’s the same effect that causes static shocks 5:15 after you walk on certain carpets. 5:17 Current theory says this occurs when two dissimilar materials exchange electrons at the molecular 5:22 level, resulting in an electrostatic attraction. 5:25 When two materials are rubbed together, their electrons are efficiently separated before 5:29 they can return home, leaving a charge. How the FMC TENG works 5:32 The FMC-TENG has been designed to look like a cylinder within a cylinder. 5:37 The exterior of the smaller cylinder and the interiors of the larger one has an artificial 5:42 fur coating. 5:43 It is also coated with a Teflon-like material called fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP). 5:49 These are materials that re selected to optimize the triboelectric effect when rubbed together. 5:54 When the inner cylinder rotates freely relative to the outer cylinder, static electricity 5:59 is generated and collected by electrodes. 6:02 Now as I mentioned before, such machines have been built, but what the PNNL team needed 6:07 was to amplify the output by magnifying the motion between two cylinders. 6:11 It accomplished this by magnetically slowing the inner cylinder's movement, preventing 6:15 it from rotating until it reached the crest of the wave. 6:18 The maximum potential energy at this point then releases the cylinder causing it to roll 6:23 back much faster than usual. 6:25 Thus, the triboelectric effect can be maximised by transforming a single slow-moving wave 6:30 into several faster revolutions between the two cylinders. 6:34 This improved the process increasing output to enable the machine to be more effective 6:38 operate successfully with slower, more uniform waves, such as those found in the open ocean. What makes the FMC-TENG unique 6:44 Now it is this process that makes the TENG more efficient and capable of generating more 6:48 energy from slower moving waves. 6:51 PNNL laboratory fellow Daniel Deng, who has co-authored the research study for the new 6:55 generator says ““The FMC-TENG is unique because there are very few wave energy converters 7:01 that are efficient and able to generate significant power from low-frequency ocean waves.” 7:07 With renewable energy, the FMC-TENG could power integrated buoys with sensor arrays 7:12 to track open ocean water, wind, and climate data. 7:16 For now, the PNNL team aren’t concerned with megawatt devices that will deliver energy 7:21 back to the grid, although the new technology could be blown up to do so. 7:25 The FMC-TENG has been designed specifically to draw power from low-frequency waves out 7:30 in the open ocean. 7:31 It is being projected as a low cost, lightweight and practical power generator for ocean monitoring 7:37 platforms such as satellite communication systems, and ocean sensors. Several sophisticated applications now possible with the FMC-TENG 7:42 The FMC-TENG could also replace the need for cabled power to even more sophisticated marine 7:47 tech like High-definition camera systems, mass spectrometers, environmental sampling 7:52 processors and robotic systems. 7:55 Not only will the new generator help man in being more aware of how the oceans impact 7:59 life, it could save life too with valuable data constantly being fed into systems on 8:04 shore. 8:05 The new generator shows promise to change the oceanic technology scene.
