Simulation-Based Design and Performance Analysis of Electrostatic Corona Motors for Atmospheric Electricity Harvesting

Atmospheric electricity represents a widely available but underutilized form of renewable energy.This research explores the feasibility of harnessing this energy using an Electrostatic Corona Motor (ECM).The simulation-based approach is conducted using Python, modelling parameters such as corona onset voltage, electric field intensity, corona current generation, and rotor speed under varying configurations and voltage potentials.The results confirm that, although the harvested energy is minimal, it is sufficient to perform rotational mechanical work under appropriate electrostatic conditions.This paper sets the foundation for hardware-based implementation and testing [1]-[3].
