Abstract
A triboelectric energy generator () comprises a first generating element () and a second generating element (). The first generating element comprises a first triboelectric material () and the second generating element comprises a second triboelectric material (). Movement of the second generation element relative to the first generation element results in an output voltage, as a consequence of the triboelectric effect. A stopper () is configured to restrict rotation of the second generating element, so that the second generating element may only rotate through a desired angle.
