Electricity was the greatest invention of our civilization. We will not see another invention with this importance in our life time. But yet it has some bad effects on the environment we live in. So, we need some source of energy that is clean and less harmful to the environment. We now have solar energy, wind energy and many more renewable energy sources. To make energy available at every place we needed some kind of medium, cable or devices. Battery was invented to make it more simple. But as it turns out batteries are hard to carry at all times. And it is also very dangerous for the environment because of it chemical composition. So the triboelectricity was introduced. Wang used this concept of triboelectricity and invented Triboelectric Nanogenerator. That research changed the course of the future. Now devices can be powered by itself in a much clean and environmental friendly way. In the field of smart textiles it will have a great impact. The materials that can be used for producing one is very available and in some cases cheap. In this experiment we focused on the most available materials and simple production procedure. The results of this experiment will add some more value in the field of triboelectricity. These small sized generator may not be able to charge a heavy machine but in near future it can solve the energy issue that we have, and the contradiction between the nature and energy industry.
