  • System for harvesting water wave energy
    Patent number: 9394875
    Abstract: A generator for harvesting energy from water in motion includes a sheet of a hydrophobic material, having a first side and an opposite second side, that is triboelectrically more negative than water. A first electrode sheet is disposed on the second side of the sheet of a hydrophobic material. A second electrode sheet is disposed on the second side of the sheet of a hydrophobic material and is spaced apart from the first electrode sheet. Movement of the water across the first side induces an electrical potential imbalance between the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 5, 2015
    Date of Patent: July 19, 2016
    Assignee: Georgia Tech Research Corporation
    Inventors: Zhong Lin Wang, Yanjie Su, Guang Zhu, Jun Chen
