In the future, you can charge your phone by clapping or dancing

In the future, we can power the device through motion or vibration.

This green energy technology is based on a triboelectricity phenomenon , which allows people to create their own electricity through motion or vibration.

In 2017, Asian-American researchers from the Clemson Nanomaterial Institute (CNI) created simple and efficient nanogenerator- based nanogenerators called U-TENG .

Simple and efficient nano-based electric generator, called U-TENG.

U-TENG is a compact device with a flexible plastic component, capable of generating electricity when two or more materials collide.

Power is generated by clapping or touching the ground detected by the wiring and external circuit, then stored in the capacitor or battery.

Recently, U-TENG (wireless) wireless version, called W-TENG , was used using teflon material and ultra-thin graphene.

W-TENG has a maximum capacity of 3000 volts, which can generate up to 3m energy transmission field.

Researcher Sai Sunil Mallineni, the author of the study, said: "It not only provides power, but can also use the electric field as a remote control device. For example, you can type / tap. On W-TENG as a door unlock button, garage or security system activation - all will not require batteries, passive and wireless ".

W-TENG technology.

While the team is looking for more environmentally friendly alternatives to teflon, they have been negotiating with partners to develop application devices from W-TENG.
