Abstract:
1. A heat pipe capable of transforming dynamic energy into electric energy, the heat pipe comprising: a conductive hollow case having a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to a heat-generating component, the second end being a heat-dissipating end; a conductive capillary layer formed on an inner wall of the conductive hollow case, a liquid being stored in the conductive capillary layer, the liquid being capable of being heated to evaporate by the heat-generating component and then moving toward the second end; a piezoelectric component connected to the conductive capillary layer; and a flexible component disposed at a side of the piezoelectric component, for being driven by the evaporated liquid so as to exert force upon the piezoelectric component by hitting the piezoelectric component; wherein electric energy generated by the piezoelectric component is transmitted from the conductive capillary layer to the conductive hollow case, and the conductive hollow case is used for conducting heat energy to the liquid and dissipating the heat energy absorbed by the liquid from the second end.
