几个能量收集的概念进行审查和分析，以确定其潜力，补充车载能量的小型电动无人驾驶系统，使耐力和范围的增加。光子（太阳能），动力流（风），热和电磁能源被认为是以及自噬结构功率的概念，允许通过系统结构的自我消耗的能量产生。每个扫气概念的概念设计进行评估方面的收集能力和多功能的潜力。根据能量收集或自噬存储元件所允许的重量和尺寸以及从收集的能量到系统电能的转换效率，从几分之一瓦到几十瓦的功率收集水平是可能的。一种分析方法的开发链接能量收集器性能的变化，无人驾驶系统的性能。通过分析无人机上的太阳能清除作为延长飞行续航时间的一种手段，证明了该方法。(c)2006 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
Several energy scavenging concepts are reviewed and analyzed to determine their potential for supplementing the on-board energy of small electric unmanned systems to enable increases in endurance and range. Photonic (solar), kinetic-flow (wind), thermal, and electromagnetic sources of energy are considered as well as autophagous structure-power concepts that allow for energy generation through self-consumption of system structure. Notional designs for each scavenging concept are evaluated with regard to their power collection capability and multifunctional potential. Power collection levels ranging from fractions of a watt to tens of watts are possible depending on the weight and size allowed for the energy collection or autophagous storage elements and the efficiency of conversion from scavenged energy to system electrical energy. An analysis methodology is developed to link energy scavenger performance to changes in unmanned system performance. The methodology is demonstrated by analyzing solar scavenging on unmanned air vehicles as a means of extending the flight endurance time. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
