Sliding-Mode Triboelectric Nanogenerator
Interactive 3D model of a lateral sliding-mode triboelectric nanogenerator: slide one charged plate over another and watch electrostatic induction drive real current, voltage and power through an external load resistor.
This simulator models the lateral sliding-mode operation of a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG): a fixed bound charge on an insulating plate is progressively covered and uncovered by a sliding counter-electrode, and the resulting electrostatic induction is solved through a real load-resistor circuit equation frame by frame — not a canned animation. Choose a material pair (which sets the triboelectric surface charge density), drive the slide at different frequencies and stroke lengths, and sweep the load resistance to find where instantaneous power peaks, exactly the trade-off engineers face when impedance-matching a real energy harvester.
Slide one charged plate across another and watch electrostatic induction drive real current, voltage and power through an external load resistor, solved live from the standard TENG equivalent-circuit equations.
