Researchers Develop Battery Charge Of The Human Body

Battery humans seemed far-fetched when the movie The Matrix release in 1999 . But it was 15 years ago . Now , researchers can make it happen .
Meng Bo Professor of Peking University is building a generator that is able to charge the phone using the human body electron . The device is called a single - friction - surface triboelectric generator ( STEG ) can recharge when fingertip attached to the conductive material layer in the device .
Reported by the Daily Mail , Tuesday ( 1/4 ) , this generator uses what is called the triboelectric effect . When certain materials are rubbed together, friction would result in a buildup of electrical charge between two objects . Static electricity is an example of this effect . Different materials will produce different electrical charge .
During the latest trial , a professor Meng and his team put up a mobile phone with a transparent coating material containing STEG . Electrodes are placed on the side of the device and the user's finger .

When the user pressed a hand to STEG layer , electrons will move from the skin to the phone . It is if dilakukang repeatedly will produce energy to charge low-power devices such as phones .
The team is currently developing STEG as a backup power source for devices that can be used as medical sensors . Even one day can be used for greater things .
In February, Fujifilm demonstrates a thermoelectric material that can change temperature change into electric charge . Materials developed by the cooperation of Japan and the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology ( AIST ) is able to change one degree change in temperature of the human hand into a few milliwatts of electricity .
