Abstract
An energy collection system may collect and use the energy generated by an electric field. Collection fibers are suspended from a support wire system supported by poles. The support wire system is electrically connected to a load by a connecting wire. The collection fibers may be made of any conducting material, but carbon and graphite are preferred. Diodes may be used to restrict the backflow or loss of energy.
Claims21
A method of collecting energy comprising:
- suspending at least one ion collection device with a high density of points per area of the device from a support structure;
- and
- providing a load with an electrical connection to the at least one collection device to draw current.
A system of energy collection comprising:
- a support structure;
- at least one ion collection device with a high density of points per area of the ion collection device;
- and
- a load electrically connected to the at least one ion collection device.
