Pomelo power: Scientists generate power from fruit peel using triboelectric device
SMRTR summary
Scientists have developed a triboelectric device using pomelo fruit peels to generate electricity. The spongy white inner layer of the peels can convert mechanical energy into electricity. Tapping these devices lit up 20 LEDs and powered small electronics in tests. They can also function as motion sensors when attached to the body. This method could reduce food waste while creating value from discarded peels.
