Project Name : DUDE (Desktop powered UPS powers the Desktop)
Theme Name : Energy Resource & Conservation
The Computers we use at home generate huge amounts of heat energy, which is normally sucked out and dissipated to the surrounding. In this project, we use an extremely efficient engine, called the stilling engine, to convert the heat directly into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is then converted to electricity, which is supplied back to the CPU, for use. DUDE can be thought of as an alternate UPS which runs purely on waste heat from the computer, and uses up no other form of energy.
We thus succeed in accomplishing two major entries:
a) We remove waste heat, which can do nothing but bring down the computer‟s efficiency
b) We use this waste heat to generate electric power, for the computer to use, in times of need.
