1. A triboelectric generator, comprising
(a) a first triboelectric member, including a first conductive layer and an insulating triboelectric material layer disposed on the first conductive layer, the triboelectric material layer including a first material that has a first position on a triboelectric series; (b) an elastic member disposed against the triboelectric material layer of the triboelectric member, including a second conductive material, the elastic member having an elasticity that results in the elastic member being deformed when compressed and returning to an original non-deformed shape after being compressed, the second conductive material having a second position, different from the first position, on the triboelectric series; and (c) a first load that is in electrical communication with the first conductive layer and with the second conductive material, so that when a force drives the first triboelectric member against the elastic member, thereby compressing the elastic member, and after the force is released from the first triboelectric member charges will flow between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer through the load. |
