Demonstrations of the saTENG for large-area energy conversion and to harvest energy, using flowing water as the electrode. (A) Photograph showing the experimental arrangement for a water cushion extracting energy from mechanical motion. (B) Photograph showing that ~170 LEDs were lighted up by tapping the water cushion. (C and D) The increasing outputs with the increasing deformation of the water tube: (C) the open-circuit voltage (Voc) and (D) the amount of short-circuit transferred charge (ΔQsc). (E) Photograph showing the experimental arrangement for the saTENG harvesting mechanical energy based on household plumbing. (F) Photograph showing that ~80 LEDs were lighted up by tapping the rubber pipe with flowing water as the electrode.
