OVERVIEW

Worked in a team to design and build a wind‑powered triboelectric nanogenerator. Began by reviewing literature to understand device functionality and existing designs, then brainstormed ideas before agreeing on a final solution. Used SolidWorks to create a model of the device and fabricated components with FDM 3D printing and a laser cutter. Successfully converted wind energy into measurable electrical output during testing.
