Disney's latest technology allows you to generate energy by rubbing or touching a piece of paper. That is incredible.

The new technology uses paper generators made of electrets, which are materials that hold a semi permanent electrical charge. The electret is a sheet of Teflon and when rubbed on, has a conductive ink printed on it with the negatively charged teflon creating a slight charge.

The slight charge can be generated by many forms of touch besides rubbing. You can tap too it seems. Power generated can be used to light up LEDs or reveal hidden designs on an e-paper display.
