Power Generation by a Limestone-Contained Putty.

ABSTRACT: A novel contact-separation triboelectric generator concept is proposed in this paper, which consists of a limestone-based mounting putty and a metallized polyester (PET/Al) sheet. This is an attempt to explore tacky materials for power generation and extend the operational frequency bandwidth compared to existing TriboElectric NanoGenerators (TENGs). Moreover, the proposed design is very cost-effective and easy to build. Unlike traditional TENGs, which generate power solely due to a charge developing on the surface, the putty also replies on charge developed inside the material. Parametric study was conducted to determine the optimal putty thickness in a shaker test at 40 Hz. It was found that a putty layer at 0.6 mm thick yielded maximum power generation. During the separation phase, the
