Multi-directional wind gathering and breeze power generation

How does the BD-Teng convert natural wind energy into electric energy?

The natural wind is harvested by the wind scoops, which drives the FEP films to produce sliding friction with the copper electrodes. Therefore, the BD-TENG realizes the conversion of natural wind energy into electric energy. Fig. 1.

Does omnidirectional wind energy harvester perform well in a natural wind environment?

For all wind directions, both the maximal output energy and the range of effectively working wind speed of the proposed bibeam wind energy harvester are significantly improved with respect to the single-beam system, indicating excellent performance of the proposed omnidirectional harvester in a natural wind environment.

Can a breeze-driven triboelectric nanogenerator efficiently harvest wind energy?

However, the average wind speed on the earth surface is only 3.28 m/s, which cannot easily be harvested by traditional generators efficiently. To efficiently harvest breeze energy in the farmland environment, a breeze-driven triboelectric nanogenerator (BD-TENG) was proposed.
