Bennet’s Doubler With Double Capacitive TENG for Kinetic Energy Harvesting

Unstable charge pumps used as rectifier circuits for triboelectric generators, like the Bennet’s doubler, have been proven to drastically improve the harvested power compared to traditional diode bridges, at the cost of longer starting time. In this work, we propose for the first time a kinetic energy harvesting system based on the Bennet’s doubler, polarizing two triboelectric transducers with an...
