Arun Thomas, Sam Vincent, Ranjana A., Reena Thomas, Seethal Babu

Abstract


As the variety of moveable electronic gadgets are increasing, property energy sources for these devices become indispensable. The chance to power these devices by energy harvested exploitation renewable sources ought to be found. Triboelectric generators are the most effective answer to reap energy from low-frequency mechanical motions. A lamb may be a energy harvest home device that converts external energy into electricity by a conjunction of contact electrification and electricity induction and this electricity is employed to power our electronic gadgets wirelessly by exploitation wireless module. These devices open brand new horizons for tactics to provide and store wasted energy from our surroundings and during a close to future to power wireless sensors, electronic gadgets and thereby comparison numerous TEG's for harvest home energy.

 

Keywords: Triboelectric generator (TEG), renewable energy (RE), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), broadband and hybrid energy harvester (B-HEH)
