A study led by Fernando Galembeck, Ph.D, at University of Campinas in Campinas, Brazil, reveals that you can actually harvest huge amounts static electricity from the atmosphere. Galembeck and his colleagues used computer simulations that showed what happens when charged dust particles from the air […]

They want to harvest electricity by profiting from the fact that air is loaded with electric charges, and work on a prototype for such a harvester.
