One key to harvesting the ocean’s clean energy—at least a little of it—may lie in static electricity. A team of researchers in Portugal has now successfully used it to run small generators inside a ...

Researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology are trying to harness the electricity-generating phenomenon (also called the triboelectric effect) displayed when someone walks across a carpet, touches ...

I have made a new version of this device that can be seen here: • Make a Static Electricity Generator & Cast... In this video I show how to make a device that allows the user to gain the power of ...

Insects have been known to sense and tap into electric fields, but new research shows that swarms can actually produce atmospheric electric charges. By measuring the extent of this influence, the ...

BOULDER, Colo. — Imagine a future where simply driving along a highway or even walking down a sidewalk could produce electricity to power street lights or traffic signals. That future is now for ...
