Introducing the Garlic-Powered Door and Window Sensor
A new door and window sensor uses garlic peel to generate power through the triboelectric effect. It creates electricity when opened, potentially powering a low-energy alert system. The design is simple and low-cost, with long-term reliability tested in lab conditions.
A team developed a self-powered sensor using garlic peel and plastic to generate electricity when a door or window opens. The device can power a basic alert system and has shown durability in testing.
This innovation could lead to more reliable and sustainable home security systems, reducing reliance on traditional batteries and lowering maintenance needs.
The project highlights creative, low-cost solutions using everyday materials, showing how simple ideas can address real-world problems with practical benefits.
