WARF: P160263US01

Inventors: Lih-Sheng Turng, Jun Peng


The Invention
A triboelectric generator and method are provided. The triboelectric generator includes a first electrode having an inner surface and an outer surface and a second electrode having an inner surface and an outer surface. A dielectric layer has a first surface and a second surface in engagement with the inner surface of the second electrode. The dielectric layer impregnated with biorenewable fillers. Periodic engagement of the first surface of the dielectric layer with the inner surface of the first electrode generates an electrical output across the first and second electrodes.
