so u think static electricity would charge a battery that needs nothing less than a 5v and at least 0.8A source to charge??.....and using an insulator as a capacitor or charge 'holder'??


How intelligent...

jeloser, I like the idea u put forth though....it got me thinking of the possibility of using static electricity for good uses though I don't see it making much economic sense as Friction as we know causes heat and wears...its possible though and with good materials for rubbing, voltage regulator, polarity check adequate current stepped up etc...its gonna work though with great monetary input and cooling system lol

u know it can be your final year project topic ooo, that is if you're still in school sha

jeloser:
was out of gas thou..dunno wat to type

jeloser:
still in school...futminna

niceeric:

really?..thats cool, visited that school during my service year...what course are u studying

jeloser:
physics..thou nat dah good in it...still trying thou

niceeric:

you tried lol...u made an Engineer going rusty due to Nigeria's unemployment ish think....that's good

niceeric:

hmm...interesting, of course we go to school to get better
you got yourself a final year project topic 'use of static electricity to power a small light emitting diode' that should be an easy one

jeloser:
lols ... i know gat u there

jeloser:
hmmm yea easy for boss like yo ... for me i will try

niceeric:

boss no kuku dey anywhere, if I be boss, with my degree I suppose don connect my house to my own personal power station forget national grid lol

jeloser:
hmmm yea easy for boss like yo ... for me i will try

jeloser:
lols yo funny

i detected dis wen i was chattin ystdy and my batwy ran flat .. i quickly thought of a way to charge it ...scientifically without stress .. procedures 1..get a biro (#20) , fur (hair) u can use d one on ur head.. 2.... rub d tip of d biro on hair (make sure dere is no cream in it) 3...den put it on d positive mouth of d battery. try dis 4 lyk 10 tyms . and 50% of your battery will be back ...enjoy pls no insultive words/comment ..if you have any problem with this

niceeric:


triboelectric charging is same phenomenon as static electricity, while you might get enough voltage to charge your battery( uncontrollable voltage though with your biro cover and hair 'experiment'), how do u get enough current to flow?

secondly, no battery would charge with just the positive terminal connected to the charging circuit....ill also want to know how you'll determine the polarity of your charge since different materials produce different static charge polarities.

there are static generators that do more than rubbing of biro cover to fur though as they are made to produce controlled continuous power using carefully selected materials rubbing against one another BUT your unipolar biro to hair or fur experiment won't charge any battery ma'am

all these english just for us to know u r an electrical engineer? Inventors don't speak big grammaer like this, just creat an invention and talk to us not blowing grammer!
