Scientists working on cheap and easy-to-make electrical generators have landed upon a design that makes use of store-bought double-sided tape, and which they say can perform on par with more ...

What’s new here is that PET plastic, aluminum, and double-sided tape can make an inexpensive generator that works well. Keep in mind we are talking about little bits of power.

Now, in ACS Omega, a team describes an easy way to manufacture these tiny generators out of materials as simple as double-sided store-bought tape that pack in higher energy densities than previously ...

Our previous results show a novel triboelectric generator based on a simple configuration involving double-sided tape or limestone putty with a poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) coated with Aluminum ...
