A team of Gang Wan fabrication engineers at the University of Alabama has developed a curious version of a triboelectric generator that uses the simplest of components. In fact, this is garbage, any items that can be bought for a nominal amount in any hardware store. A plastic plate, sticky tape and two aluminum plates – such a primitive device made 40d glow.
The principle of operation of triboelectric generators, based on the production of energy in the study of current, for which you just need to move two objects in contact back and forth. Sows a great variety of designs of such devices, but all ho o o o o o o o
This is a prototype that is 47% more efficient than predicted. Pastik and adhesive tape freely belong between metal pastes, when pressed and r Preimrian. The prototype reached a power of 170 W per sq.m.
Pressing the pastes of such a generator also requires mechanical energy, but it can be extracted from For example, from the future of tree branches in the wind, the movement of waves, the steps of passers-by on the stairs, the movement of clothing folds when playing sports, the swaying of transport elements when moving, even touch buttons with a set text. Power generation is low, finding a free electricity source, with which such sensors and sensors can be used. sensors.
