Electrical energy generated by silicone elastomers filled with nanospring- carbon- nanotubes

Frank Nüesch

Dielectric elastomer generators (DEGs) are flexible capacitors that convert mechanical into electrical energy. They rely on an external voltage source to charge the capacitor during each operation cycle. An alternative to this is an autonomous DEG which op ...
