Abstract:
A flocked surface tribo-electric charge generator includes first and second contact surface electrodes; first and second flock fiber support layers a first flock fiber material flocked onto the first flock fiber support layer; a tribo-electrically second different flock fiber material flocked onto the second flock fiber support layer. A tribo-electric charge is generated by intermittent intermeshing/separation of the tribo-electrically diverse flock fiber materials of the first and second flock fiber support layers.
