  • Abstract
    Storing and releasing the energy is a big subject now a day because of finding renewable energy in our life and saving the energy as much as we can. We have several things to use it for storing and releasing the energy, for example; we use the battery for electrical energy, we use the flywheel for mechanical energy, we use phase change materials (PCMs) for heat energy and etc. There are many applications for using PCMs for example thermal energy storage, conditioning of buildings and etc. In this case we will study the performance of PCMs by using it in foot massage. The foot massage parts and the PCMs packages were designed to achieve in this study. By using phase change materials in the foot massage we can keep the water worm longer for human use. We can save money and fuel energy by saving heat energy.
