  • Publication number: 20240396122
    Abstract: A vehicle interior device 1 that is provided inside a vehicle includes a humidity power generation element that generates electric power via changes in humidity. In prior-art power generation schemes, it has been easy to cause restrictions on the installation location and versatility has been low, but the humidity power generation element does not have any restrictions on the installation location as long as there are humidity changes, and has high versatility. In addition, changes in humidity occur spontaneously and have no other uses, and energy can therefore be saved by effectively utilizing unnecessary energy. Humidity increases and decreases as passengers enter and exit the vehicle; therefore, the humidity power generation element can efficiently generate power in particular.
