An Innovative Proposal for Enhanced Utilization of Atmospheric Electricity via Electrostatic (Corona) Motors
Atmospheric electricity represents an abundant and underutilized form of renewable energy.This paper explores the current implementation of electrostatic drives, particularly corona motors, to harness atmospheric potential energy and convert it into usable mechanical energy.Despite low current availability, the theoretical feasibility has been experimentally validated.This paper also proposes an advanced model to enhance torque output and energy conversion efficiency by optimizing electrode configuration, altitude wire design, and material choices.The aim is to establish the groundwork for scalable applications in self-powered micro generators and remote sensors.
