New research may make it possible to keep electronic devices powered with another piece of equipment you're likely to bring with you while exploring the great outdoors: camping stoves. The work focuses on using the excess heat produced by stoves to create a thermoacoustic engine, which converts thermal energy into acoustic energy.
New research may make it possible to keep electronic devices powered with another piece of equipment you're likely to bring with you while exploring the great outdoors: camping stoves. The work focuses on using the excess heat produced by stoves to create a thermoacoustic engine, which converts thermal energy into acoustic energy. This acoustic energy can then be transformed into mechanical or electrical energy.
Guo will present work on a mathematical model of a portable outdoor waste heat-driven engine Wednesday, Nov. 20, as part of the virtual 187th Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America, running Nov. 18-22, 2024. Guo acknowledges the challenges inherent in this research but views it as a chance to expand upon their work.
"In the 1990s, the Los Alamos National Laboratory in the United States conducted many fascinating studies on thermoacoustic engines, using them to recover waste heat from ships to power refrigeration systems for storing ice cream. I hope my research can lay the foundation for the development of more efficient energy conversion devices in the future," Guo said.
