Can you generate electricity with static electricity?

You can get large amounts of Voltage from a static charge. That is what causes the spark that jumps from material to material after creating a static "charge". The actual amperage is usually quite small , but not always (think lightening).

There is really no difference between static electricity and current electricity as they are both caused by an imbalance in Electrons. The materials that form the Imbalance work to correct the imbalance, and thus the spark is born. The spark can be collected through conductive materials and used to create a "charge" or electron imbalance in a capacitor or battery.

Wind - Most wind turbines generate electricity from naturally occurring wind. Solar updraft towers use wind that is artificially produced inside the chimney by heating it with sunlight, and are more properly seen as forms of solar thermal energy. Small electricity generators are often powered by reciprocating engines burning diesel, biogas or natural gas.

Diesel engines are often used for back up generation, usually at low voltages. However most large power grids also use diesel generators, originally provided as emergency back up for a specific facility such as a hospital, to feed power into the grid during certain circumstances.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
