"Simulation model of a non-contact triboelectric nanogenerator based on" by Jing You, Jiajia Shao et al.
Based on the coupling effects of contact electrification and electrostatic induction, a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) can convert mechanical energy into electric power, which is at the cutting edge of alternative energy technology. Although a considerable number of TENGs with different configurations have been designed, some of them however, which only depend on the electrostatic induction effect have not received enough attention. Here, a non-contact TENG model consists of copper rings and charged dielectric sphere is presented, which is aimed at exploring the working process of TENGs ca...
