Experimental investigation on vortex-induced vibration characteristics of the dual parallel suspenders

This study investigates vortex-induced vibrations (VIVs) on dual parallel suspenders using wind tunnel experiments and employs a two-degree-of-freedom setup for each circular cylinder to closely simulate actual structural conditions. The VIV responses of dual cylinders exhibit notable deviations and complexity due to aerodynamic interaction. Results indicate a significant shift in the VIV lock-in range towards higher values for dual cylinders, compared to single ones. Both upstream and downstream cylinders demonstrate lower maximum VIV amplitudes than the single-cylinder. The cylinders exhibit effects of negative aerodynamic damping within the VIV process, with the aerodynamic damping becoming more pronounced as amplitude increases. Additionally, the time-dependent phase relationship between the cylinders contributes to these variations in response. Further analysis of surface wind pressure distribution reveals that aerodynamic interference in dual-cylinder systems leads to intricate pressure patterns and modal behaviors.

Force Element Analysis in Vortex-Induced Vibrations of Side-by-Side Dual Cylinders: A Numerical Study

A numerical investigation was conducted in this study utilizing Force Element Analysis to explore the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) mechanism of side-by-side dual cylinders under the conditions of Reynolds number Re = 100, mass ratio m* = 10, and spacing ratios L/D ranging from 3 to 6. The hydrodynamic forces by force element formulas were incorporated into the vibration response calculations of elastically supported rigid cylinders using a User-Defined Function (UDF) and the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method. A comprehensive analysis was performed to elucidate the combined effects of the spacing ratio L/D and reduced velocity Ur on the vibration responses, quantifying the hydrodynamic forces involved in the mutual interaction during VIV for side-by-side dual cylinders. The influence mechanisms of inter-cylinder interaction and their effects on the resultant hydrodynamic phenomena were discussed. It was revealed that for side-by-side arranged dual cylinders outside the “lock-in region”, the lift and drag forces are predominantly supplied by the volume vorticity forces in conjunction with surface vortices (including frictional) forces. However, within the “lock-in region”, the surface acceleration lift forces provide greater force contributions, and the volume vorticity lift force contributes significantly to negative values. Notably, alterations to the spacing ratio do not change the proportion of force element components. The amplitudes of the cylinders’ mutual interaction forces are identical in magnitude but opposite in phase. Additionally, the “slapping” phenomenon near the “lock-in region” leads to “bounded” trajectories of cylinders.

Study on a flexible rod-type valved linear compressor without piston offset

Over the past few decades, research has been increasing on valved linear compressors in cryogenics and refrigeration. To guarantee the high performance of the compressor, the piston needs to move at the designed maximum stroke. However, most of the compressors suffer from piston offset. Due to the reduction of stroke, the piston offset greatly deteriorates the compressor's performance. To solve this problem, a valved linear compressor with a flexible rod connecting dual pistons is proposed to eliminate the offset. The flexible rod is characterized by large axial stiffness and small radial stiffness. The large axial stiffness ensures that the two pistons move simultaneously. It counteracts the average differential pressure force on the dual pistons. The small radial stiffness allows frictionless movement of the dual pistons in the dual cylinders with slight non-coaxial deformation. A prototype was designed numerically and verified experimentally. In a none-flexible-rod compressor, the piston stroke can only travel up to 60% of its design value because of the offset. On the contrary, the flexible rod-type compressor can perform without piston offset.

Oblique wave interaction with dual submerged oscillating buoy as WEC near a partially reflecting wall

The hydrodynamic performance of a submerged dual cylindrical wave energy converter (WEC) in front of a partially reflecting vertical wall is investigated within the framework of linear wave theory. The double cylinders are fully submerged and are constrained only in heave motion. The conversion of wave action into usable power occurs by the coordinated motion of two buoy systems viz. a power take-off mechanism (PTO). The numerical solution for the boundary value problem comprising of wave diffraction and radiation by submerged dual cylinders is obtained using the Boundary Element Method (BEM). The study is devoted to investigating the influence of various factors, the effect of cylinder dimensions, cylinder-cylinder spacing, partially reflecting wall-cylinder distance, angle of wave attack, and its submergence. The compelling results are presented by examining the heave force, surge force, response amplitude operator (RAO), damping factor, and particular interest in the WEC energy capture efficiency under distinct seawall reflections. The study reveals that there is an increase in the WEC efficiency by ≈12% in the case of a dual cylinder compared to a single cylinder. Besides, the amplification of the WEC efficiency is ≈78% for the case of a fully reflecting wall compared to the WEC in the open fluid domain. The present study will further help to understand the dynamics of WECs integrated into protecting shore structures such as breakwaters, groins, and seawalls.

Hydrodynamic and thermal behavior of tandem, staggered, and side-by-side dual cylinders

This study investigates the impact of arrangement of two cylinders on their flow-induced vibrations (FIV) and heat transfer behavior at a Reynolds number of 100. Both cylinders were allowed to vibrate in two degrees of freedom (2DOF), encompassing streamwise and transverse directions. The arrangement of identical circular cylinders was varied across tandem (α = 0°), staggered (α = 30°, 45°, 60°), and side-by-side (α = 90°) configurations, at a constant center-to-center distance of 6D. The cylinders were heated at a fixed temperature to observe the forced convection heat transfer behavior under the influence of 2DOF FIV. To observe the FIV, the reduced velocity was varied from Ur = 0 (stationary cylinders) to 14. Results unveiled cylinder response sensitivity, encompassing vibration and heat transfer, with respect to reduced velocities and arrangements. Tandem arrangement exhibited the greatest vibrations for both cylinders. While lower drag was experienced in tandem for cylinder 2 (C-2), it escalated in staggered positioning. Both cylinders experienced lock-in between Ur = 6 and 8 for all arrangements, involving significant transverse vibration amplitudes. Maximum streamwise vibration reached 6.07% of the maximum transverse vibration for C-2 and 2.34% for C-1. Distinct slender “figure-8” and “oval-shaped” cylinder trajectories emerged, accompanied by diverse vorticity patterns in cylinder wakes across arrangements. For α = 60°, C-2 experienced 75.3% lower transverse vibration and 9.4% higher average Nusselt number compared to tandem setup. Overall, a pronounced correlation emerged between cylinder hydrodynamic behavior and heat transfer characteristics, evident through cylinder vibration, vortex shedding, average Nusselt number, and temperature distribution results.

A comparative study of dual cylinders and triangle bluff bodies for piezoelectric energy harvesting

The flow patterns behind tandem bluff bodies can be used to generate electricity in piezoelectric energy harvesters. The vortices and wakes that form behind the bluff bodies create a pressure differential, which can be used to deform a piezoelectric film. In this study, we investigated the performance of dual triangle and dual cylinder bluff bodies in tandem at varying Reynolds numbers, Re, and spacing ratios, D. We compared the flow patterns behind the two types of bluff bodies. Sixteen hot wire anemometers were placed at different locations to measure the velocity developed behind the dual bluff bodies in tandem. The results showed that the velocities behind the cylinder bluff bodies were initially higher than those behind the triangle bluff bodies at lower Re. This is because the cylinder bluff bodies create a more turbulent flow, which results in higher velocities at lower Re. The best distance between the two bluff bodies was 3D and 5D, where the output velocities were maximized at more than 12ms−1. However, for dual triangle, the velocities eventually became higher than those behind the cylinder bluff bodies at higher Re and lower separation ratios (1D and 2D). 3D was the best distance for triangle to produce a higher velocity pattern, and this was best observed when Re = 10k, which is the lowest inlet velocity set. The results of the experiments are expected to show that the dual triangle bluff bodies produce higher velocities than the dual triangle bluff bodies, which will lead to a higher amount of energy being harvested. The results show that the amount of energy harvested were increase with increasing Re and decreasing D. The information enhancement can be done with turbulence analysis which could lead to the development of more efficient and versatile piezoelectric energy harvester.

Simulation Study on a New Hybrid Autonomous Underwater Vehicle with Elevators

This study aims to design a new hybrid twin autonomous underwater vehicle (HTAUV) consisting of dual cylinder hulls and analyze its pitching motion. The kinematic model for the HTAUV is established, followed by the execution of hydrodynamic simulation CFD of the HTAUV using Ansys Fluent. These simulations are conducted to obtain the hydrodynamic force equation of the HTAUV, which relates to the deflection angle of the elevator. Through the motion simulation of the HTAUV, under the same net buoyancy condition, notable differences emerge when the elevator is deflected. Specifically, parameters such as gliding speed, gliding angle, and pitch angle of the HTAUV are larger when the elevator is deflected, as compared to cases where no deflection is applied.

Numerical investigation of a dual cylindrical OWC hybrid system incorporated into a fixed caisson breakwater

In this paper, a hybrid Oscillating Water Column (OWC)system combining with a heaving floater Wave Energy Converters (WEC) was investigated. The traditional cylindrical-type breakwater consists of dual cylinders with an opening inlet located at the outer wavefront wall, allowing a ring-type wave chamber formed between two cylinders. The oscillating buoy OB is hinged at the front of the OWC device. The WAVE Chamber formed between the two breakwater cylinders is to be used as OWC. Based on the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software Star CCM+, A three-dimensional numerical wave tank is developed to investigate the hydrodynamic performance of the hybrid system, and the numerical model is validated with published experimental results. The power take-off (PTO) damping performance and the hydrodynamic efficiency affected by water conditions and geometrical dimensions of the device are discussed. Results show that the after combining the floater to the breakwater-type WEC, a great improvement on frequency bandwidth was achieved and the efficiency increase to 83.28% compared to the case of a single device, which was of 57%. Furthermore, the effects of the opening inlet height and the volume ratio of the OWC chamber were studied to optimize the certain geometrical parameters. Lower height ratio of the opening inlet of the OWC chamber should be avoid for larger water depth condition while designing such a hybrid system.

Modeling and Experimental Study of the Dual Cylinder Fluid Inerter

The fluid inerter is a new mechanical element which has received great attention in the field of vibration reduction. However, due to the influence of secondary flow in the curved channel, the damping force is too large and the inertia force is relatively small, which limits the engineering applications of the single-cylinder fluid inerter. To eliminate the influence of secondary flow in the single-cylinder fluid inerter, this paper proposes a dual-cylinder fluid inerter that has a straight tube instead of the spiral pipe or spiral groove. We Analyze the working principle, derive conditions of free movement, establish the damping force and inertia force model, and prove the validity of the model through bench testing. Contrastingly, it is found that the maximum parasitic damping force is only 40.32% of the single-cylinder structure, but the inertia force increases to 180.96% of the single-cylinder structure. The proposed inerter greatly increases the proportion of inertia force, and provides a new scheme for engineering applications.

Research on the combustion and emission characteristics of homogeneous dual cylinder free piston generator by ignition strategy

As a kind of new technology able to replace traditional power sources the dual cylinder free piston generator possesses the features of variable compression ratio, modularization, high thermal efficiency, and low emission, and has become the focus of academic circles in recent years. However, the power and emission performance are seriously affected by the fluctuation of working condition parameters in the combustion process. As such, the key factors affecting the combustion and emission characteristics of the generator were explored in the present study through a combination of experiment and simulation. The results reveal that, unlike traditional internal combustion engines, a richer mixture did not improve the combustion quality of the generator, but could significantly reduce NOx and SOOT emissions. At the same time, the lean mixture could significantly reduce the combustion quality and increase SOOT emissions, but could still reduce NOx emissions. To be specific, when the equivalence ratio varied from 1.0 to 1.2 and the ignition time was gradually increased from 10oECA BTDC to 24oECA BTDC, the indicated thermal efficiency only fluctuated within a small range of 1.8%–2.3%. On the contrary, the NOx and SOOT emissions decreased by at least 89.0% and 72.8%, respectively. Further, when the equivalence ratio variation range was 0.8–1.0 and the ignition time was gradually increased from 10oECA BTDC to 24oECA BTDC, the indicated thermal efficiency decreased by 43.9%–117.4% and the NOx emissions decreased by at least 48.7%, while the soot emissions increased by 67.7%. Additionally, at the ignition time of 24oECA BTDC with the equivalence ratio1.2, the generator achieved lower NOx and soot emissions and up to 33% indicated thermal efficiency in related research cases.

Fluid Forces and Vortex Patterns of an Oscillating Cylinder Pair in Still Water With Both Fixed Side-by-Side and Tandem Configurations

Abstract Models of cylinders in the oscillatory flow can be found virtually everywhere in the marine industry, such as pump towers experiencing sloshing load in a liquefied natural gas ship liquid tank. However, compared to the problem of a cylinder in the uniform flow, a cylinder in the oscillatory flow is less studied, let alone multiple cylinders. Therefore, we experimentally and numerically studied two identical circular cylinders oscillating in the still water with either a side-by-side or a tandem configuration for a wide range of Keulegan–Carpenter number and Stokes number β. The experimental result shows that the hydrodynamic performance of an oscillating cylinder pair in the still water is greatly altered due to the interference between the multiple structures with different configurations. In specific, compared to the single cylinder case, the drag coefficient is greatly enhanced when two cylinders are placed side-by-side at a small gap ratio, while dual cylinders in a tandem configuration obtain a smaller drag coefficient and oscillating lift coefficient. In order to reveal the detailed flow physics that results in significant fluid forces alternations, the detailed flow visualization is provided by the numerical simulation: the small gap between two cylinders in a side-by-side configuration will result in a strong gap jet that enhances the energy dissipation and increases the drag, while due to the flow blocking effect for two cylinders in a tandem configuration, the drag coefficient decreases.

Synchronization Control of a Dual-Cylinder Lifting Gantry of Segment Erector in Shield Tunneling Machine under Unbalance Loads

Segment assembling is one of the principle processes during tunnel construction using shield tunneling machines. The segment erector is a robotic manipulator powered by a hydraulic system to assemble prefabricated concrete segments onto the excavated tunnel surface. Nowadays, automation of the segment erector has become one of the definite developing trends to further improve the efficiency and safety during construction; thus, closed-loop motion control is an essential technology. Within the segment erector, the lifting gantry is driven by dual cylinders to lift heavy segments in the radial direction. Different from the dual-cylinder mechanism used in other machines such as forklifts, the lifting gantry usually works at an inclined angle, leading to unbalanced loads on the two sides. Although strong guide rails are applied to ensure synchronization, the gantry still occasionally suffers from chattering, “pull-and-drag”, or even being stuck in practice. Therefore, precise motion tracking control as well as high-level synchronization of the dual cylinders have become essential for the lifting gantry. In this study, a complete dynamics model of the dual-cylinder lifting gantry is constructed, considering the linear motion as well as the additional rotational motion of the crossbeam, which reveals the essence of poor synchronization. Then, a two-level synchronization control scheme is synthesized. The thrust allocation is designed to coordinate the dual cylinders and keep the rotational angle of the crossbeam within a small range. The motion tracking controller is designed based on the adaptive robust control theory to guarantee the linear motion tracking precision. The theoretical performance is analyzed with corresponding proof. Finally, comparative simulations are conducted and the results show that the proposed scheme achieves high-precision motion tracking performance and simultaneous high-level synchronization of dual cylinders under unbalanced loads.

Experimental realization of a [formula omitted]/2 vortex mode converter for electrons using a spherical aberration corrector

In light optics, beams with orbital angular momentum (OAM) can be produced by employing a properly-tuned two-cylinder-lens arrangement, also called π/2 mode converter. It is not possible to convey this concept directly to the beam in an electron microscope due to the non-existence of cylinder lenses in commercial transmission electron microscopes (TEMs). A viable work-around are readily-available electron optical elements in the form of quadrupole lenses. In a proof-of-principle experiment in 2012, it has been shown that a single quadrupole in combination with a Hilbert phase-plate produces a spatially-confined, transient vortex mode.Here, an analogue to an optical π/2 mode converter is realized by repurposing a CEOS DCOR probe corrector in an aberration corrected TEM in a way that it resembles a dual cylinder lens using two quadrupoles. In order to verify the presence of OAM in the output beam, a fork dislocation grating is used as an OAM analyser. The possibility to use magnetic quadrupole fields instead of, e.g., prefabricated fork dislocation gratings to produce electron beams carrying OAM enhances the beam brightness by almost an order of magnitude and delivers switchable high-mode purity vortex beams without unwanted side-bands.

A study on the working characteristics of free piston linear generator with dual cylinder configuration by different secondary injection strategies

Aiming at the dead center change of free piston linear generator with dual-cylinder configuration(FPLGDC), this paper proposes stratified combustion technology and studies the influence of secondary injection timing and injection ratio on the formation and combustion characteristics of stratified mixture. The results show as the secondary injection timing was advanced from 16oCABTDC to 36oCABTDC, local over-concentrated mixture in-cylinder was diluted, and the overall uniformity of the mixture was improved. Further, the overall evaporation increased from 89% to 97%. More, as secondary injection ratio decreased from 20% to 10%, the fuel evaporation ratio increased from 14% to 16%, and the stratification of the in-cylinder mixture at the ignition time was more obvious. Therefore, advancing the time of secondary injection and reducing secondary injection ratio can make the mixture more properly stratified, shorten the rapid combustion period, and improve combustion quality. Further, compared with the secondary injection ratio was 20% for secondary injection time at 16oCABTDC, the peak pressure in the cylinder increased by 14%, and the peak pressure position increased by about 2oCA when the secondary injection ratio was 10% at a secondary injection time of 36oCABTDC. Thus, reasonable control the injection strategy can significantly improve the dynamic performance of FPLGDC.

Research on the influence of dual spark ignition strategy at combustion process for dual cylinder free piston generator under direct injection

The direct injection technology is easy to achieve stratified combustion and greatly improves the fuel economy and power of free piston generator (FPG), but it also exacerbates the cyclic combustion fluctuation caused by the structure. Therefore, based on the dual spark ignition strategy, the influence of the ignition position and ignition time on the combustion process for dual cylinder FPG under direct injection was studied. The research results show that compared with the changes in the ignition angle position, the combustion process of direct injection FPG is more sensitive to changes in moment of ignition. Furthermore, with the ignition timing advances from 6°CA BTDC to 18°CA BTDC, the indicated thermal efficiency rises constantly at a rate of 25.1% and reached a high value of 33.9% in the same ignition position, although the uniformity of the mixture in the cylinder and the concentration of the mixture around the spark plug decrease gradually. While, in the same time of ignition, the increase rate of the indicated thermal efficiency reaches 6.6% at the maximum along with the increase of the spark plug angle and the increasing rate drops continuously along with the advancement of the ignition timing. Furthermore, compared with single spark ignition, the dual spark ignition can increase the cylinder pressure by 30% and the indicated thermal efficiency by 2% respectively.

Effect of simultaneous velocity and equivalence ratio oscillations on a laminar premixed stagnating flame

The dynamics of a laminar premixed stagnating flame subjected to simultaneous velocity and equivalence ratio oscillations are investigated experimentally. A flame of premixed methane and air is formed in a wall-stagnating flow. The oscillations of velocity and equivalence ratio are imposed independently by two sets of dual cylinder–piston oscillators. To impose the equivalence ratio oscillation, methane/air mixtures with equivalence ratios of $$\phi =1.0$$ and $$0.4$$ are supplied to different cylinder–piston units. The pistons move in anti-phase and create a sinusoidal equivalence ratio oscillation while keeping the volume flow rate constant. To impose the velocity oscillation, a mixture with $$\phi =0.7$$ is supplied to the single unit of another oscillator. The phase difference between the two oscillations is set by changing the relative position of the pulley teeth of the two oscillators. The oscillator frequency is varied between 2 and 20 Hz, meaning that the oscillation wavelengths are much longer than the flame thickness. When frequencies of the velocity and equivalence ratio fluctuations are in a quasi-steady state condition, the flame motion is affected independently by velocity oscillation and equivalence ratio oscillation and the linear-superposition assumption can be applied. When the velocity and equivalence ratio oscillation frequencies are increased and exceed the transition frequency from the quasi-steady state to unsteady state, the flame motion gradually deviates from linear-superposition assumption. This is due to the variations in the unsteady molecular diffusion and the back-support effect.

Combustion, performance, and emission characteristics of dairy-washed milk scum biodiesel in a dual cylinder compression ignition engine

ABSTRACT The present work has been carried out to study the suitability of milk dairy waste scum (MDWS) biodiesel as a fuel for diesel engine. The investigations were carried out on performance, emission and combustion characteristics of a direct injection dual cylinder diesel engine fueled with MDWS methyl ester, and their blends. Two-step transesterification process was used to synthesize the MDWS biodiesel, characterization according to specified ASTM D6751-15C standards. The performance characteristics studies showed an increased brake thermal efficiency of B20 (3%) and B30 (0.94%) blends in comparison to fossil diesel. However, the increased brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) was also found with all the fuel blends and an higher (9%) BSFC was obtained with B50 compared to diesel fuel at full load condition. The emissions of blends were found to be lower in comparison with diesel fuel, except for nitrogen oxides. A 32% increase in NOx emission was found with B50 blend compared to diesel fuel at maximum load condition. However, improved combustion characteristics would found with MDWS blends with respect to in-cylinder pressure, ignition delay, and heat release rate compared to fossil diesel.

Performance Comparison of a Single Cylinder and a Dual Cylinder Free Piston Engine

Free piston linear engine alternators (FPLEA) may be designed following several different baseline configurations. Common designs include a translator that carries permanent magnets, with either one piston attached to one end of the translator, or a piston at each end of the translator. The single cylinder engine requires a reversing force from a spring so that it can operate, whereas, the dual cylinder version can operate without a spring. However, inclusion of stiff springs would serve to raise the operating frequency and reduces the cycle-to-cycle variations in a dual cylinder version. A matlab/simulink numerical model with translator rod dynamics and in-cylinder thermodynamics was employed to predict the overall performance and efficiency of a FPLEA. This numerical model allowed comparison of different FPLEA configurations for a variety of design variables. First, a dual cylinder FPLEA design was considered where the spring constant was varied, changing the frequency of operation and the motion of the translator. The simulation results showed that without springs the motion was far from sinusoidal, and low in frequency and power, whereas the presence of stiff springs in the system strongly dictated nearly sinusoidal motion and high power at high frequency. Effects of other parameters such as stroke and bore were also examined. Finally, the same tests were carried out for a single cylinder FPLEA design. The simulation results showed that the dual cylinder engine produced twice the electrical power output with higher efficiency than the single cylinder engine for the same cylinder geometry.

Symmetry and asymmetry nonlinear modes in dual cylinder waveguide shells coupled by a rotating double-well connection

We study the fundamental nonlinear modes in a dual-cylinder waveguide shell, which features a self-focusing Kerr effect, coupled by a double-well connection. This double-well connection is twisted by a pitch rate and creates a spatial dependent linear mixing, which plays the role of an effective rotating double-well potential. Symmetry transition between the waveform and the power distribution of the fundamental nonlinear modes in this system can be induced both by the total power and by the rotation speed of the connection. Four types of modes — wave symmetry and power symmetry (WSPS), wave symmetry and power asymmetry (WSPA), wave asymmetry and power symmetry (WAPS) and wave asymmetry and power asymmetry (WAPA) — are found from the system. The dependence of these modes on the total power of the light field, the rotation speed and the coupling strength of the connection are systematically studied through the paper. The finding of this paper may offer potential applications in fabrication of new types of nonlinear all-optical devices.

Rolling friction contact-separation mode hybrid triboelectric nanogenerator for mechanical energy harvesting and self-powered multifunctional sensors

Collecting mechanical energy in the surrounding environment to power small electronic devices is an ideal method as a green and clean power source. Based on the working mechanism and the advantages of triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), a robust rolling friction contact-separation mode TENG (CS-TENG) has been fabricated for harvesting vertical rotation energy by utilizing the integrated cylindrical surface with the conjunction of rolling contact electrification and electrostatic induction. The output current of the CS-TENG can maintain 96% (origin: 1.72 μA, final: 1.66 μA) after two days continuous work a rotation speed of 300 r/min. Furthermore, an electromagnetic and triboelectric hybrid contact-separation mode nanogenerator (HCS-TENG) has been further designed by coupling magnets in the rolling cylinders with copper coils as an electromagnetic generator (EMG) in the acrylic cylinder to implement the multi-functional properties. The gear transmission structure makes the device more facile to be installed on the rotation objects. The output performances of CS-TENG and EMG under various rotation speeds were systematically studied. It shows that the CS-TENG with six units can deliver an output power of 0.15 mW/cm2 and the 100 μF capacitor can be charged to 6 V in less than 1 min by the hybridized nanogenerator at a rotating rate of 700 r/min. In addition, utilizing the output signal's intrinsic characteristics of CS-TENG, a self-powered rotation speed and displacement sensor using the dual cylinder structure TENG has been achieved for these rotating mobile devices that are inconvenient to get an additional power supply in the grimmest circumstances such as moon car or other celestial and tough environment detection equipment. This multifunctional TENG device reveals a significantly potential application in the grimmest circumstances as power source, self-powered electronics and sensor systems.
