A triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG ... Going back to the balloon-on-the-head example, the effect at play here produces high voltages but low current — the paper says a TENG containing 60 ...

These devices convert mechanical energy into electrical energy via the triboelectric effect. While most TENGs rely on specialized, high-cost materials, researchers have developed a more affordable ...
