		<description>Hello MT-La.This is what I mean:
http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2010-08/hygroelectricity-could-enable-devices-pull-electricity-out-thin-air
a blog referring to the same original. There is the ominous 
phosphate and silica. 
Meanwhile I found the original paper and started to to study it. 
Still I am wondering, wheter they violate first LOT or not. 
The charges seem to be very small, it is not easy to rule out 
chemical action (= dissolution) of the metal sheets.

		<description>Maybe the fact that we feel &#039;drained&#039; when in the midst of an extreme humidity wave could go some way to helping us understand how to drain current from a charge collector.  I know that I can&#039;t go across a Wal-mart parking lot in Arkansas during the summer without having to a) take a shower (sweat the current out maybe?) and b) needing a nap.</description>

		<description>@Georg:  &quot;I’d like to read the original, because I think this is at
least partly produced by a consecution of erronous “reportings”.&quot;  
So, why dont you read the original?  The link to the actual study is available in the second paragraph.  And no, it&#039;s not a blog(!).  Or perhaps you prefer to make assumptions and then spout off as if you&#039;re some kind of expert on the matter.
Considering the paper is on the American Chemical Society&#039;s website (ACS), I&#039;m willing to believe that the authors have some basis in reality.  Furthermore, from what I remember about physics, if you can create a voltage difference between two conductors, then you have a means of generating electricity.  The amount of electricity generated is then a matter of efficiency and scale.</description>

		<description>Hello,
this is something appropriate for 1st of April!
The blog (!) cited speaks of aluminium phosphate 
and silica &quot;common&quot; in atmosphere,  which I 
doubt, and the use of a Faraday cage is typical 
for &lt;b&gt;electrostatic&lt;/b&gt; experiments, as 
the micŕoscopic  amount of charge is only collected 
once.
There is no explanation of how to drain &lt;b&gt;current&lt;/b&gt;
from the gadget. 
Maybe this things play a role in genesis of lightnings, 
but as a source of electric power it is nonsense. 
I&#039;d like to read the original, because I think this is at 
least partly produced by a consecution of erronous 
&quot;reportings&quot;.
