Abstract
A power and/or electricity generating source and/or component that is TENG-based, and that may be configured as an assembly and/or component for powering one or more electronic devices, is disclosed, A case, carrier or other carrying container, for example a case for a cell phone, ipad, electronic tablet, personal computer, or any similar device, that provides an electricity source to power the cell phone, ipad, electronic tablet, is disclosed. The energy generating carriers and/or containers and configurations thereof, also provide an electricity energy storage source. This electronic energy storage source may be incorporated within an electronic device itself, or may be incorporated within the case and/or covering. Upon walking or touching a surface of an electronic device, the power generating source will harness mechanical energy, and provide for the generation of electricity with the one or more TENG components (TESTEC) that comprise the energy generating unit. Metal particles (silver, copper, etc. nanoparticles) incorporated within and/or on polymeric layers and/or a film of the carrier and/or container assembly, are also provided, and provide for enhanced energy generating c…
