Abstract :
This paper examines microenergy conservation, where the energy conserved is used for driving electronic devices such as a microcomputer meter for LP gas. Here we consider how to conserve energy from flowing high-pressure gas. In this study, we collected the emitted energy and converted it to electrical energy which could be easily reused. We built an experimental system, and verified how much electrical energy is conserved.
