Potential of Generating Electricity from Air Confirmed by ACS

Electricity produced from the air has the potential to become an alternative energy source. Much like the solar cells that capture sunlight, devices could capture electricity from air and make use of them for lighting a house or for recharging an electric car.

The good news is that scientists are already in the process of developing such innovative devices, as per a report published by American Chemical Society.

This research study might pave the way for the future by way of turning electrical energy from the air into alternative energy sources. This research might facilitate the scientific riddle about the production of electricity as well as its atmospheric discharge. Just the way solar energy frees households from electric bills, the new energy source might produce a similar effect.

Atmospheric water droplets were once believed to be electrically neutral and stayed so for a long time even after contact with electrical charges upon dust particles as well as other liquid droplets. However, new evidence has now suggested that atmospheric water droplets do pick up electrical charges. This idea has been confirmed by laboratory experiments conducted at the American Chemical Society.
