Harvesting the World's Mechanical Energy: Triboelectric Generators Capture Wasted Power 

The shortcoming in these TEG devices is their extremely low current output. But their future is bright.

How awesome❣️ This world needs more thinkers, like YOU⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ DON'T STOP! Maybe u will become a scientist/developer of something like this in your future❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

Annnnd ANOTHER 5 yrs has come.

I wonder what the blockage is!

it's make sense if a research take a lot of time, power and.....money, which all of those can not be free, especially the last one, so the professor rely on any available source of income to be able to start or continue his project, and most of time the source comes from either the university, government, or business, and as you know that in big countries...business play major role of the country well being, then the professor my not continue his project or maybe already finished it and not doing any further action, due to relationship with business world why suspecting the business world? see Elon Musk, he keeps doing the breakthrough, and I doubt he's spend most of his time testing stuff in a lab, and he's from the business side, if you want to know how hard it is for a brilliant scientist to make his idea comes true without having power or money, check Nikola Tesla

Well technically he said "fei yeas" so I guess we've been had.

9 years here

At least he took a shot @ a time frame! Better to focus on the fact that although new developments can take longer than hoped/ expected, this is AMAZING ingenuity that is worth MUCH time to pursue and develop❣️❣️❣️. I pray for continued success and safety of scientists to see this to fruition😇❣️🙏 ...and look forward to experiencing it! To all those who gave a thumbs up ...what have YOU developed, esp that could have such great impact across the globe?

lol yup

Maybe it is more like a device that fits into any shoe because I doubt shoe manufacturers would be up to the task of warranting electronics in shoes. That makes more sense. But the key is efficient storage on a nanoscale.

Just add some well designed Peltier devise and some well thought optimized thermoradiative diode and you improve the solar panel's efficiency to new heights of performance. Triboelectric generators have been here as long as I can remember. They can produce very high volts to tens of thousands of volts but their currents still remain terriblly low. Some researchers have been working on switched-capacitor-convertors based on fractal design to come out of this impasse. It seems quite promising.

Just a few months now guys. Guys?? .......

Muy interestante. Esta cuatro anos mas tarde ahora - tiene dispostivos? (my main language is English so excuse my poor Spanish).

@@songshineoriginalmusic not sure he does, but I sure love the idea

nowhere near what he suggested. Really bad reprudcability. as an experiment it's cool but for real world use on a large scale not usefull and very inefficient but for nanogenerators it's quite a big thing.

There is nothing in the video about harvesting energy, which I take to mean storing the energy. That is he big rub, storing it efficiently for later use. This is all done in the moment without battery backup.

Still research is going on, the issue associated with this is the very low power output. Although he claims 1000V, the current will be in micro-Amps, which can light LEDs with very less intensity.

​@@soorajs5952 how many micro amps does it generate ? give me a number
