Abstract: Harvesting mechanical energy from human walking by triboelectric tile is an effective approach for a sustainable, maintenance free, and green power source. The triboelectric tile is capable of harvesting vibrational energy. In this paper, a simplified model of triboelectric tile system using simple coupling of commercial polyvinyl fluoride (PVDF) with a thin copper film is presented. Based on the simplified model, Real-time output characteristics of triboelectric tile at different values of resistance are derived. The output characteristics of triboelectric tile are validated with the existing literature.
