A century after Nikola Tesla sketched a turbine with no blades, researchers are now using that same counterintuitive design ...

A bladeless turbine design converts the static electricity naturally generated by dust particles in compressed air into ...

This system achieves peak outputs of 800 V and 2.5 A at 325 Hz without requiring any additional particles leveraging ...

Although the basic concept of electrostatic attraction has been known since ancient times, it was only in the 17th century that scientists began to systematically investigate electrostatics. One of ...

One key to harvesting the ocean’s clean energy—at least a little of it—may lie in static electricity. A team of researchers in Portugal has now successfully used it to run small generators inside a ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has introduced a technology that generates electricity from raindrops striking rooftops ...

Researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology are trying to harness the electricity-generating phenomenon (also called the triboelectric effect) displayed when someone walks across a carpet, touches ...

[Matt] sent in Electrifried 2 – the second version of a device with one purpose: shock your friends like you’ve got a giant shag carpet. The ion generator is used to provide create a static electric ...
