    • Parikesit, G.O.F., Gunawan, A., Darmawan, M., Faisal, A. and Kusumaningtyas, I. (under preparation) Microfluidic energy harvesting by transpiration-driven electrokinetics.
      • Abstract: Previous studies on electrokinetic energy conversion systems have shown low energy efficiencies, in which most of the pressure-driven energy input is irreversibly lost before it could be converted to useful electrical energy output. Here we theoretically investigate the application of transpiration-driven flows to feed an electrokinetic energy conversion system, which offers an important advantage: the flows can be actuated autonomously without any mechanical pumping device, thus allowing us to harvest streaming currents with effectively zero energy input. Our analysis shows the feasibility of the concept, which could provide electrical power for biomedical lab-on-a-chip in resource-poor areas.

      • Abstract: Moving walkways have been used for people transport for more than a century. One of the latest innovations in this field is the Accelerating Moving Walkway (AMW), which provides higher transport speed. However, the application of moving walkways is still limited to short-distance travel up to 300Â m. This paper summarizes and analyses the findings of a literature review on (accelerating) moving walkways, which aims to compare the characteristics of AMWs with other public transport systems, namely buses, light rails, Automated People Movers (APMs), and Personal Rapid Transits (PRTs). Based on the comparative evaluation, we conclude that AMWs can be competitive to the other transport modes. Hence, we propose the potential application of AMWs for the transport of people, i.e. pedestrians, over longer distances. Subsequently, issues related to the concept of long-distance AMWs are briefly introduced as topics for further research.
