A mechanism to tap an electrical source which uses an aircraft (preferably a lighter than air balloon) tethered by a conductive line. The conductive line is extended/withdrawn by a winch motor to adjust the altitude of the aircraft. The conductive line is isolated from the ground and an electrical c... Read more
Scientists are looking for ways to use the low-value energy widely distributed in natural environments to generate electricity. A research team has created a power generator that collects the natural atmospheric humidity and produces continuous electrical signals. This is the first humidity generato... Read more
Generating electricity from the atmosphere has been a dream for several decades, and there is a lot of research and investment aiming to turn it into a reality.
Realising a century-old dream to make electricity from air
As the European Union strives for climate neutrality by mid-century, a mother-and-son-team is helping to tackle a potential hurdle: the limited number of renewable-energy sources driving the EU’s shift away from fossil fuels. Andriy Lyubchyk is a partner in the CATCHER project, which aims to expan... Read more
