Abstract
-
A new method of harvesting electric energy from wind is offered. A special injector sprays electrons into the atmosphere which then picks up the electrons and moves them in the natural direction of the wind, which is also against the direction of electric field. At some distance from injector a unique capturing grid acquires the electrons, thus charging and producing electricity. This method does not require, as does other wind energy devices, strong support columns, wind turbines, or electric generators. This proposed wind installation is cheap to build. The area of wind braking may be large and produces a great deal of energy. Although this type of electron wind installations may be located within a city, the population will not see them—they will not be considered industrial urban blight!
