Abstract:
1. A ball-electric power generator comprising: a first upper layer configured to be electrically charged; a first lower layer configured to be electrically charged; at least one ball configured to be electrically charged; at least one spacer connected to the first upper layer and to the first lower layer; at least one chamber defined by the first upper layer, the first lower layer and the at least one spacer; and a second upper layer integrally connected to an upper surface of the first upper layer and a second lower layer integrally connected to a lower surface of the first lower layer, wherein the at least one ball is configured to be moved inside the at least one chamber and to hit the first upper and lower layers, and thereby generating triboelectric charges, and wherein each of the first upper layer and the first lower layer is configured to be negatively charged and comprises polytetrafluoroethylene, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or polystyrene (PS), and the at least one ball is configured to be positively charged and comprises one of Al, Fe, Ni, Cu, or Ag.
