| Abstract | ||||
| Triboelectric generators (TENG) are seen as a great way to make green energy harvesters and self-powered sensors. With the rapid development of TENG, a theoretical model that accounts for the contact force in a contact and separation of TENG is needed. This study aims at establishing a theoretical model that can be applied to one specific TENG and predict the value of the output open-circuit voltage after being activated by a specific contact force. A model that links the output open-circuit voltage of a TENG and the contact force was established, then experiments were performed to test the model. It was found that the presented model correctly predicts the type of trend that links the open-circuit voltage and the force and also the value of the open-circuit voltage of a specific TENG under a specific contact force. | ||||
