• Wireless electric energy transmission is an important energy supply technology. However, most wireless energy supply based on electromagnetic induction cannot be used for energy transmission through a metal chamber. Herein, a novel idea for wireless electric energy transmission through various isolated solid media based on triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is presented. The electric energy is first transformed into mechanical vibration energy in mechanical wave that can propagate well in solid medium, and then the vibration energy is harvested by a TENG. By employing the spring steel sheets and freestanding triboelectric‐layer structure, the vibration TENG as an energy conversion unit has the advantages of high efficiency and facilitation, boosting this wireless energy transmission technology to be an alternative way of delivering electric energy through metal medium. The working principle and output performance have been systematically studied. A commercial capacitor can be charged from 0 to 10 V in 33 and 86 s isolated by an acrylic plate and a copper plate in thickness of 3 mm, respectively. The wireless electric transmission technology is also applied to deliver electric energy into a vacuum glove box and across glass wall successfully. This novel technology has great potential applications in implantable microelectronic devices, encrypted wireless communication, and even nondestructive testing. A new wireless electric energy transmission technology is proposed, and demonstrated to be an alternative way to deliver electric energy through any isolated solid material. The vibration triboelectric nanogenerator with elaborate structure design is proved to be a great energy conversion unit which harvests low‐frequency vibration energy to convert it into electric energy.
