Currently, a new study of thunder and lightning. So that lightning may be new energy, while reducing lightning damage.
Our research will contribute to future power generation from alternative energy in the atmosphere.B141XG09 “Study leader Dr. Fernando Galembeck said his study may help explain one outstanding problem in 200 years - is how the electric atmosphere generated and released.” As the solar energy can be provided free of charge for people like this promising new energy source can produce a similar effect. “He insisted.
“If we understand how lightning is the accumulation and spread in the atmosphere, we will be able to prevent injuries caused by lightning.” Galembeck say that every year thousands of the world caused by lightning casualties and millions of dollars in property damage.
Centuries, to achieve with the natural way to get power is the dream of scientists has been. They noted that the exhaust steam from the boiler will produce static electricity, workers are often steam “power” to. The famous inventor Nikola Tesla, is cherished dream of air power to take one of the scientists. He said that when water vapor in the air, dust or other particles on the aggregation charge arises. Galembeck said, but so far, scientists lack sufficient knowledge to explain the formation of water in the atmosphere and release energy in the process. His research and Baxikanpi Salinas universities.
Scientists had believed that the water droplets in the atmosphere is neutral (the total charge zero particle state), even with the dust particles and other charges on the droplet contact is still the case. However, there is new evidence that water in the atmosphere can indeed carry a charge.
Galembeck and his colleagues used the water in contact with the air of dust particles in laboratory simulation experiments confirmed this idea. They used silicon dioxide and aluminum phosphate particles are, both are common in air particles, experiments show that, in high humidity environment, the silica particles are negatively charged and positively charged particles of aluminum phosphate. High humidity means a high level of moisture in the air - vapor condenses and can be seen, similar to the wet summer, the air-conditioned cars and buildings in the windows of the “fog.”
“This is clear evidence that water in the atmosphere can be gathered and transmitted it to the charge in contact with the material up” Galembeck explained, “we call ‘hygroelectricity’ means ‘wet steam current’.” He said, possible future development of the collector to obtain the wet steam current, similar to the use of solar cells to collect sunlight to generate electricity the same, and connected them to the homes and businesses. As the solar cell performance in a high sunny areas, wet steam battery should be placed in high humidity areas, such as the U.S. Northeast and southeastern humid areas.
Galembeck said that a similar approach may also help to prevent the formation of lightning and excited. He envisioned a building area in the top of thunderstorms frequently placed wet steam battery, it will charge extracted from the air, thus preventing the release of charge when lightning formation. His research team has tested to determine which metal is more suitable to obtain energy from the atmosphere and to prevent lightning strikes.
“We own and other research groups have proposed new study will be possible, this is the idea of how fascinating!” Galembeck said, “Of course, we still have a long way to go. But the term seems to use the current wet steam The benefits will be considerable. “
