Abstract
A triboelectric generator includes first and second electrodes spaced apart from each other, a first charging object on a surface of the first electrode facing the second electrode, a second charging object provided between the first charging object and the second electrode, and a grounding unit configured to intermittently interconnect the second charging object and a charge reservoir due to motion of the second charging object. The first charging object is configured to be positively charged due to contact. The second charging object is configured to be negatively charged due to contact.
