Abstract
An energy collection system may collect and use the energy generated by an electric field. Collection devices are suspended from a support system. The collection devices are configured in one or more fluffed configurations. The support system is electrically connected to a load by a connecting wire. The collection devices may be made of any conducting material, but graphene, boron, silicene, carbon, and graphite are preferred. Diodes may be used to restrict the backflow or loss of energy.
Claims20
A method of collecting energy comprising:
- suspending at least one collection device with, in operation, microscopic points of a cross-section of the collection device exposed to the environment from a support structure, the at least one collection device electrically connected to the support structure;
- fluffing a portion of the collection device to increase the number of microscopic points exposed to the environment;
- and
- providing a load with an electrical connection to the at least one collection device to draw current.
