| contents | Recently, there has been a surge of interest in sustainable energy sources, particularly for wearable computing. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have shown promise in converting human motion into electric power. Textile-based TENGs, valued for their flexibility and breathability, offer an ideal form factor for wearables. However, uptake in maker communities has been slow due to commercially unavailable materials, complex fabrication processes, and structures incompatible with human motion. This paper introduces texTENG, a textile-based framework simplifying the fabrication of power harvesting and self-powered sensing applications. By leveraging accessible materials and familiar tools, texTENG bridges the gap between advanced TENG research and wearable applications. We explore a design menu for creating multidimensional TENG structures using braiding, weaving, and knitting. Technical evaluations and example applications highlight the performance and feasibility of these designs, offering DIY-friendly pathways for fabricating textile-based TENGs and promoting sustainable prototyping practices within the HCI and maker communities. |
