Figure 7. Demonstration of a calculator sustainably powered by the self-charging power system through the designed charging cycle.

Figure 7

(a) Schematic diagram of the operation circuit; (b,c) the VQ plots of the direct and the designed charging cycle for the TENG. The shaded areas represent the energy stored per cycle for both cycles. The power required by units in dashed frame in a is satisfied by that supplied by TENG through the designed cycle. The inset pictures show the calculator's display screen as charged by the direct and designed charging cycles, respectively.
