Mechanical Energy Harvesting using Piezo Triboelectric Nanogenerator

As there is a rapid growth of portable electronic gadgets, sustainable energy sources for these devices become indispensable. The possibility to power them by energy harvested from renewable sources have to be found. Triboelectric nanogenerators are the most viable solution to harvest energy from low frequency mechanical motions. A TENG is an energy harvesting device that converts external mechanical energy into electricity by a conjunction of contact electrification and electrostatic induction and this electricity is used to power our electronic gadgets wirelessly by using wireless module and piezoelectric nanogenerators also do the same on applying the pressure. This device opens a new horizons for ways to produce and store wasted energy from our surroundings and in a near future to power wireless sensors and electronic gadgets using hybrid piezo triboelectric nanogenerators.
