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

- With one stomp of his foot, Zhong Lin Wang illuminates a thousand LED bulbs--with no batteries or power cord. A professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Wang is using what's technically known as the triboelectric effect to create surprising amounts of electric power by rubbing or touching two different materials together.

That's cool. Lay a bunch of these on busy roads and walkway traffics. Our steps and wheels can provide the energy we need with these. And when it rains, the pressure from the raindrops will do the work for us.
The shortcoming in these TEG devices is their extremely low current output. But their future is bright.
This technology is amazing and it should already be fully integrated into all levels of society, especially for struggling or developing communities.
I was thinking about this idea for a couple months in my senior year. Never really tried to go any deeper than "wouldn't it be neat if there were like, magnets in car handles and wheels or something to generate electrical currents". Glad to see this is being sought after!
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❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Hey so it's been 5 years
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

a large step forward
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?
It's been 9 years.. in Ireland when raining for most of the year..is a market
lol yup
5 years is almost up. Implementation seems to have hit a snag.
Annnnd ANOTHER 5 yrs has come.
That's amazing... I used the same process to make a fully mechanical lightbulb several years ago. With gears grinding as if a flint kept getting a spark and light would light up from the continuous light powered solely by a mainspring... I hope they succeed.
Cool, what material do you step on ? thanks
Triboelectric Nano Gen is definately another method to expand on harnessing energy.
Interesting, good luck with your project. 😎
so i need them now
it's been 6 years
Professor Lin Wan is awesome
Awesome research. Thanks.
Which is the paper that the photo @ 1:14 refer to?
I'd wear shoes that charged all day, then at night discharge back into my cell phone😁👩💻 6 years
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.
it's been nearly 10 years.
9 years still counting……
5 years, I thought this guy was hunted by the Government of PRC
when will this be available, its been 10 year already!, something didnt go right perhaps
Crazy cool! Yea...energy is all around us! Batteries... Terrible for energy. Do much loss! This...great potential! Massive potential! I'm liking this!
I can imagine he once stopped for a minuted and decided - it's not worth it, they don't deserve it. F it
We will not take too long, 5 years.
3 years left guys.
Just a few months now guys. Guys??
.......
9 year dy
2020 calling. where can i buy components
It’s 2018?
After 10 thousand years, its still pending patent.
So a static gen with a semi-conductor ? This s was made 200yrars ago?
How about take my idea and put it in roads already. Piezoelectric plus this and static are a great combo to start off with. Good luck
9 years and counting 🎉
Excelente, estoy con unas experiencias propias con un generador triboelectrico con grafeno... espero realizar pronto una publicacion al respecto para mejorar la autonomia de los autos electricos utilizando la friccion del aire para autorecargar las baterias miestras este en movimiento ...
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
9 years ago!!
It's 2023 and here in the UK I am sure that this will be a multibillion £ invention with all the rain!
"meanwhile.... 5 years later..."
8 years and counting
9 years later....
thats 5 years ago..what happened?
Game Changing 🎉
Could you add it to solar panels to make them more efficient?
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.
Fascinating. I wonder where the tech is at now capabilities wise.
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.
ok, passed almost 7 years, where it is?
This didn't age well. It's been 10 years.
hey, its been 7 years
Five months more exactly 😂
5 years later. Has this even been used for light up shoes yet?
....and now 7 years.
It's been 60 seconds. Where is this tech?
It's been 9 year 😢
Rick's miniverse. Googebox!

awesome :)
We have invented a new energy technology, Nope. I thing the right term is "We have discovered a new way to harvest types of energy, trough technology".
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.
Hey so its been 7 years

🤔
roll out all the energy harvesters soon. it's worth it. all harvested energy can be sent to charge a home's battery bank.
The same technology is used by the tic toc
Hey its been 9yrs hahaha
9 years, still nothing to talk about?
Mental note - call my stock broker to yank my investment 😂
what happened to this technology? I'm writing this in 2022
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
Cool stuff.
9 years later ....
