〔編 譯鄭曉蘭/綜合報導〕日本松下電器上個月發表的最新款鹼性乾電池「EVOLTA」可說話題不斷。松下在當時的發表會上同時宣布,「EVOLTA」獲得金氏 世界紀錄認證,為全球保存期限最長的電池,本月25日更進一步宣布,已成功地讓一具以「EVOLTA」為動力來源的機器人,僅憑一根繩索便爬上美國大峽 谷。
據日本媒體報導,松下電器日前在美國進行一項有趣的實驗。他們在一具機器人身上裝上2顆「EVOLTA」鹼性乾電池後,讓機械人沿著從懸崖上方垂吊而下的繩索,攀爬美國大峽谷。實驗的機器人由京都大學研究人員研發,身長17公分、重約134克,外型輕巧可愛。
花6個多小時爬530公尺
機器人光靠2顆「EVOLTA」鹼性電池為動力來源,雙手雙腳並用,總共花費6小時又46分鐘,沿著繩索成功爬上530公尺的美國大峽谷懸崖。
松 下於4月26日在日本市場開賣的全新鹼性電池「EVOLTA」,不僅電力比松下之前所推出的電池長2至5成,保存期間更拉長至10年,足足比傳統電池長一 倍,創下業界新紀錄。「EVOLTA」當初每月的生產目標為2000萬顆,但至本月20日為止,銷售量已突破5000萬顆,銷售情況出乎意料之外的好。目 前,松下在全球鹼性乾電池市場的市佔率為19%,2009年的目標是擴大至26%。

Evolta mascot's Fear Factor climb
Having just laid claim to being the first to have Guinness Book of World Records officially certify the Evolta as the "world's longest-lasting AA alkaline battery cell", Panasonic isn't resting on its laurels. The company has literally scaled mountains in a bid to substantiate that claim.
It tickles us to read about the Evolta mascot pulling itself up the rope of a 530m (1,739ft)-tall cliff in the Grand Canyon, Arizona, using its little plastic hands and legs, powered by what looks like two AA Evolta batteries. Though considering the 130g mechanical toy is just a wee 17cm tall, that's a lot of hard climbing to do; roughly 6 hours 46 minutes of rope burn. Another world record?
Disclaimer: The stunts described were designed and supervised by trained professionals. They are extremely dangerous and should not be attempted by any robot, anywhere, anytime.
