Abstract

A magnetic fluid microdevice using Diptera insect wings is proposed and constructed. The magnetic fluid device is composed of insect wings, a small permanent magnet, coil, and kerosene-based magnetic fluid. First, the structural properties of insect wings are studied through measurements of certain morphological parameters. Secondly, the novel type of microwind energy converter is constructed. Thirdly, the power generation characteristics of the magnetic fluid microdevice using insect wings are examined. It is found that the output power is roughly proportional to the cube of the airflow velocity.

摘要

提出并构建了一种使用双翅目昆虫翅膀的磁流体微器件。该磁流体器件由昆虫翅膀、小型永磁体、线圈和煤油基磁流体组成。首先，通过测量某些形态参数研究昆虫翅膀的结构特性。其次，构建新型微风能转换器。第三，研究使用昆虫翅膀的磁流体微器件的发电特性。发现输出功率大致与气流速度的立方成正比。
