Eco Factor: Device harvests static electricity from air.
We’ve seen devices that can produce potable water from thin air. Scientists in Russia have discovered another green use of air, by harvesting renewable energy from it. These researchers have come up with a device, which they call the Chizhevsky chandelier, that can convert energy from static electricity into usable electricity.
The device features a metal plate that accumulates particles from the chandelier and transfers it to an accumulating unit through wire. The device currently produces 40V, but the research team claims that they can get more if they need to.
