Energy from Air

[truesearch]

This is interesting, especially as it was discovered by "accident":

Hello!
Interesting topic.
But, as I understand it, electricity is generated by moistening nanowires. And what happens after that, when they are already moistened? Do they need to dry out for the cycle to repeat?
Then it is not a continuous current source? Does such a source work only with changes in air humidity, with daily humidity fluctuations?

I appreciate the simplicity of that experimenting as shown in the old article you posted. The resulting "energy" is outstanding ~ too bad more research isn't published or available.

One thing that I'm suspicious of is that it only works at "scale" ~ and most of us do not have a 2,000ft wide by 250ft deep canyon or valley in our yard

Aside from the difficulty creating these nano wires,


The humidity serves as an electrolyte, and although there is an 'ideal' humidity for best performance, they operate across a wide range of humidities.
The metal isn't "moistened" by the process, the water vapor exits the opposite end of the tube and is replaced by new water vapor in the air passing through.
The water molecules act as charge carriers, inducing charge in the air (as they normally do)
Then are discharged when they contact the conductor
The wires can charge as a capacitor in this manner,
or small currents can be drawn off into a circuit


interesting effect, with apparent potential.
But they won't be created outside of a high tech lab
