Study of the enhanced electricity output of a sliding droplet-based triboelectric nanogenerator for droplet sensor design

Jürgen Brugger, Xia Liu, Wei Xu, Xiaopeng Li

Triboelectric nanogenerators are establishing themselves as promising candidates for realizing high-efficient energy harvesting from largely available droplets. However, the conventional droplet-based liquid-solid triboelectric nanogenerator (DLS-TENG) has ...

Stretchable and Soft Electroadhesion Using Liquid‐Metal Subsurface Microelectrodes

Dario Floreano, Yegor Piskarev, Jun Shintake, Michael Dickey

Electroadhesion is an attractive mechanism to electrically modulate adhesion to surfaces. Electroadhesion arises from the interaction of electric fields with conductive or dielectric materials. Electroadhesion devices consist of in-plane, interdigitated el ...

Overview of the FTU results

Cristian Galperti, Gabriele Grosso, Filippo Bagnato

Since the 2016 IAEA Fusion Energy Conference, FTU operations have been mainly devoted to experiments on runaway electrons and investigations into a tin liquid limiter; other experiments have involved studies of elongated plasmas and dust. The tearing mode ...

Interfacing dielectric elastomer actuators with liquids

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Alexandre Poulin, Luc Maffli

Methods and materials for liquid encapsulation in thin (19 μm) silicone membranes are presented in this work. A set of 12 liquids including solvents, oils, silicone pre-polymers and one ionic liquid are experimentally tested. We show that all selected liqu ...

Performance improvement of a micro thermomechanical generator by incorporating Galinstan (R) micro droplet arrays

In previous research we have demonstrated a micro thermomechanical pyroelectric generator (mu TMPG) as an alternative to thermoelectric generators to harvest ambient heat energy. In such a device, a thermal mass oscillates between a hot and a cold side by ...
