True that raindrops carry a charge. Contrary to popular theory, clouds don't create electricity. The electricity is already up there. Fairweather atmospheric electricity data indicates that the ozone layer, which is at the bottom of the stratosphere, is highly charged. Water vapor readily condenses around those charges and pulls them to the ground.

Thanks Robert. I got a little lost on the conductive ink portion or maybe I don't understand the capacitive portion. With the teflon tape version, you have a conductor (aluminum foil) separated from another conductor (the aluminum strip on top of the T-tape) by an insulator (the teflon tape). Is this correct? In the conductive ink demonstration, the conductive ink is layed on the aluminum foil base directly and then covered by an insulator (the exterior varnish) with conductor placed on top of the varnish. The first question I have is how is the water touching the conductive ink if it's covered in varnish? My second question is why do you need the conductive ink and the aluminum? Could you not just use either one since they are both conductors? Is there a 'Capacitors for Dummies' book out there that you can recommend? Thanks again.

it doesn't need to touch to transfer charge mate - it is induction

Hello. Maybe the conductive ink is increasing the area of interraction? Cheers.

@@TnTOmnibus I thought the whole way the effect works is if water bridges to close the gap between the two different materials aka Aluminum and PTFE. If the water doesn't contact both to bridge and move across it I don't see how it would work?

@TNTOmnibus Please suggest a good way to accumulate this microgenerated electricity for practical applications. There are many ways - piezo, magnetic, vibro of all kinds, but accumulating this into a movement or charge is very challenging. Like winding up the clock by some movement or having some micro electrical impulses to charge a capacitor and then charge some battery?

Thank you, Robert. Something strange a motor which runs for 240v can not produce more than a few voltage, if converted into generator 😅

You've obviously got a double whammy there... add a generator to it and you'll get both the mechanical generation AND the triboelectric generation. I'm guessing the mechanical generator will eclipse the triboelectric generation. And there is also the question of watts... One problem with Luke spinning the wheel is it's not clear how much charge HE is adding by touching it. Perhaps he needs insulating gloves.

Water pipes can make electricity

Hi Rob !!! ... I speak Spanish and can´'t understand about oxide name ...

i wonder if this can be put into a stream of water as a solid state hydro power

Make a pvc water pipe set up like this with a partition in the pipe with one of these on both sides and along the walls of the pipe and put it in a stream

What if that approach is added to solar modules? So the can generate power from solar and rain?

If we took an A4 sheet of aluminium foil and painted it with the conductive paint, then laid out a gridwork of aluminium tape, replicated your reverse L pattern, and laminated it, it would collect the electricity?

Hi boss, here where to connect the positive and negative prob? what is the use of insulation tape

hi! impossible to find your video 1485...

Can rain affect static collection of antennas?

Why do you need a layer of aluminium underneath rather than simply just the conductive ink?

is that why they had copper roofs or ?

The link to the paper is gone.

So it disturb your brain charge also😮

It would work with every layer of insulater. Not shure ist must be PTFE. Think the high voltage wather generator ... 😅 Wather dipole is just loads of electricity❤❤❤❤
