ELEMENT AND ELECTRIC GENERATOR
First Claim
1. An element comprising:
- a plurality of electrodes; and
a plurality of intermediate layers, each of the plurality of intermediate layers being sandwiched between any pair of the plurality of electrodes, wherein the plurality of intermediate layers comprise at least two selected from the group consisting of;
(i) an intermediate layer that can be elongated and deformed in a direction that is not parallel to a direction in which an external force is applied, when the external force is applied to the intermediate layer;
(ii) an intermediate layer that can be compressed and deformed in a direction that is parallel to a direction in which an external force is applied, when the external force is applied to the intermediate layer; and
(iii) an intermediate layer that can be elongated and deformed in a direction that is not parallel to a direction in which an external force is applied, and can be compressed and deformed in a direction that is parallel to the direction in which the external force is applied, when the external force is applied to the intermediate layer.
