Goal
To harvest ambient atmospheric static electricity and convert it into a continuous, regular electrical current that can be used for industrial and domestic applications without ongoing energy consumption or maintenance.
Problem
Existing methods of capturing static electricity yield only irregular, very low-current (few mA) outputs that are impractical for real-world use.
Concept Summary
The invention describes an electrostatic system consisting of a main capacitor equipped with electrostatic film-valves, a neutralizer/exciter, and an atmospheric collector. The device automatically raises the potential of ambient static electricity, stores it in the capacitor, and continuously discharges it through a regulated circuit, providing a steady electrical output without mechanical or chemical input.
Detailed Description
The patent outlines a self-sustaining electrostatic 'ram' placed in an environment that contains natural static electricity. A main capacitor (1) is charged via electrostatic film-valves (3) that elevate the ambient potential. A neutralizer/exciter (2) with discharge valves (4) expels stored charge back to the main capacitor, creating a continuous excitation loop. An atmospheric collector (7) feeds secondary excitation capacitors (8 and 9) that are also linked to the main capacitor. The system includes safety devices (13) and a ground discharge path (14). The device claims to operate indefinitely, providing power for medical electro-therapy, telephone operation, electric clocks, battery recharging, and cheap wiring installations that can be bare, uninsulated, and even submerged in water without loss.
