The battery end: gadgets will be charged by friction

Scientists from the laboratory Jung-Lin Wang of the Georgia Institute of Technology made a generator, which is able to effectively extract the power from each movement.
The principle of operation is based on the effect which people got acquainted with electricity, it boils down to the fact that during the friction of two objects of razlichnyh materials accumulate opposite charges.





A couple of years ago, doing the piezoelectric effect, experts Jung Lin Wong incorrectly assembled experimental setup and got it totally innovative results. It turned out that the excessive static electricity when unplanned friction between two polymeric surfaces. It was so much that Dr. Wong has dramatically changed the word "piezo" in the word "tribo" and do only them.

Now, having found over the years search for a good reinforced polymer, Dr. Wong and his colleagues were able to increase the electrical output of the generator in a hundred thousand times!
