Abstract

<p>Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEA) have a high energy density and low power consumption. Therefore, DEA is expected as one of the best artificial muscles available. We focused on the Cockcroft Walton circuit, which is a voltage boost circuit consisting of a capacitor and a diode. In this research, we constructed a Cockcroft Walton circuit using DEA as a capacitor and investigated the output voltage. We found that the Cockcroft Walton circuit with DEA replacing the capacitor can boost the voltage. In the future, optimization of DEA as capacitors and development of dielectric elastomer diodes (DEDs) will lead to the integration of actuator and circuits.</p>
