Energy from Air

[sm0ky2]

If properly exploited, for instance:
In a series cascade like a Kirchhoff
Or for a more visual representation,
A Kelvin Waterfall (sketch below)

@truesearch No one said it has to be mountain size, maybe 10m x 10m of spiky iron wire would work.

And no need to put energy in quotes, for it was clearly very very real. The resulting energy is outstanding
indeed. 3 million volts and superthick sparks, looks like thousands of amps, mini lightning.

Anyway, i only shared it for it is highly relevant to the thread, i am obviously not suggesting anyone to build that.

the water vapor exits the opposite end of the tube and is replaced by new water vapor in the air passing through.

Then such a device is a wind generator.
In addition, the adsorption of water in porous materials requires large amounts of energy to be reversible. For large scale implementations, it will likely be necessary to vacuum the device to quickly remove moisture.

Since it is necessary to add water to the tank, such a generator can be called a "hydrogenerator", an analogue of a hydroelectric power station. But hydropower is a common source of electricity.

I have seen many videoes on Kelvins water fall. There are many un answered questions for me on this device.mainly why should there be two "wings". Why can not the Earth alone be used as one side?Does any one have any research papers on this device?
Thanks

But they won't be created outside of a high tech lab

Apparently,Holcomb's device is better.

I don't know.
