The disclosure provides a fluid driving device including a casing and an oscillation film. The casing has a fluid chamber, a liquid inlet, a liquid outlet, and a vent hole. The oscillation film is movably disposed in the fluid chamber so as to divide the fluid chamber into a liquid channel and a gas channel that are not fluid-connected to each other. The liquid inlet and the liquid outlet are connected to the liquid channel, and the vent hole is connected to the gas channel. When the oscillation film oscillates, it forces liquid to flow into the liquid channel from the liquid inlet and forces gas to flow out of the gas channel from the vent hole, or it forces the liquid to flow out of the liquid channel from the liquid outlet and forces the gas to flow into the gas channel from the vent hole.

A heat pipe structure is used for cooling a heat source. The heat pipe structure includes a sleeve tube and a shaft. The sleeve tube includes an inner wall. The sleeve tube has a trench on the inner wall. The trench is at an outlet end of the sleeve tube. The trench extends in a circumferential direction of the sleeve tube. The shaft is connected to the heat source. The shaft is inserted into the sleeve tube from the outlet end such that the shaft is rotatable relative to the sleeve tube. The trench surrounds the shaft.

A fan module includes a housing, a bearing, a rotating shaft, and a fan wheel. The housing includes a bottom covering plate, a top covering plate, and a side wall connected between the bottom covering plate and the top covering plate and surrounding to form a housing space. The bearing is disposed on the bottom covering plate and includes a supporting pillar. The supporting pillar extends from the bottom covering plate toward the top covering plate. The rotating shaft has a first through hole therein. The rotating shaft is rotatably sleeved onto the supporting pillar by the first through hole. The fan wheel is connected to an outer edge of the rotating shaft.

An airflow generating device includes a container, a first air switch, a second air switch, a magnetic oscillating element, and one or more coils. The container has a first opening and a second opening. The first air switch is configured to open or close the first opening. The second air switch is configured to open or close the second opening. The magnetic oscillating element is disposed in the container. The one or more coils are disposed adjacent to the magnetic oscillating element. The one or more coils are configured to generate at least one sensing current corresponding to the oscillation of the magnetic oscillating element, so as to make the first air switch and the second air switch respectively open or close the first opening and the second opening according to the at least one sensing current.

A charging/discharging apparatus utilizing the thermoelectric conversion effect includes a thermoelectric conversion module, a current path providing unit and a charging/discharging element. The thermoelectric conversion module is disposed between an upper cover and a lower cover of a wearable device. The thermoelectric conversion module generates a current according to a temperature difference between the upper cover and the lower cover. The current path providing unit coupling with the thermoelectric conversion module provides a first current path and a second current path. The charging/discharging element couples with the current path providing unit. When a temperature of the lower cover is higher than a temperature of the upper cover, the current charges the charging/discharging element through the first current path. When a temperature of the upper cover is higher than a temperature of the lower cover, the current charges the charging/discharging element through the second current path.

A heat dissipation estimating method is disclosed. The heat dissipation estimating method includes following steps: providing an input heat to a fin of a heat sink unit; obtaining an average temperature of the fin according to the input heat; obtaining an output heat according to the average temperature; determining whether the input heat is the same as the output heat or not; while the input heat is different from the output heat, updating the input heat according to the output heat and repeating the above steps until the input heat is the same as the output heat; and while the input heat is the same as the output heat, obtaining a total heat dissipation value of the heat sink unit according to the input heat and a ratio value.

A fan module, disposed inside a case of an electronic device, includes a case body, a blade assembly, a stopping plate and an adjusting element. The case body, including a first case unit, a sidewall and a second case unit, forms an accommodating space. The first case unit or/and the second case unit has an air inlet. The sidewall has an air outlet and an adjusting opening. The blade assembly is disposed inside the accommodating space. The stopping plate, disposed on the sidewall, is for opening or closing the adjusting opening. The adjusting element is movably disposed on the stopping plate and for pressing against the stopping plate. When the adjusting element moves from a first position toward a second position, the adjusting element pushes against and makes the stopping plate to be offset toward the blade assembly, and produces a gap between the stopping plate and the sidewall.
