Abstract Electricity has been vital for both technological and economic progress, yet an estimate of 730 million people lack reliable access, as of 2025. Harnessing the ubiquitous supply of human biomechanical motion, LebanVolt mitigates this issue through the utilization of a triboelectric and piezoelectric polymer wearable system, to harness quotidian motion. This device enables an ecosystem of community wide accumulation, where individual contributions charge to a larger shared power supply.
