Make an infinite flashlight that never needs batteries!!!
This is an introductory video demonstrating how to construct a very simple accordion-style TENG from aluminium tape and packaging tape and 2 LEDs. The longer you make the tape and the more folds you have in it, the easier it is to make higher voltage.
MISTAKES: I said "H-Bridge" several times, and I meant "Bridge Rectifier". Near the end I said "in parallel with the LED", and it should be the resistor is "in series with the LED". Oops.
Also, my phone battery died right before I turned on the example LED with the rectifier attached, but I'm just gonna keep this video as-is, cause it has some explanation in it that might be helpful to some people.
If you want to see the more advanced video, I have another very long TENG video in my Experiments playlist that demonstrates multiple different designs.
