Harnessing Static Electricity with Mosquito Zappers to Power Everyday Electronics
A new study published in the journal Nature Energy has revealed that adding a mosquito zapper to a static electricity harvester can significantly boost its power output. This means that static electricity harvesters could be used to generate electricity in remote areas where power sources are not easily accessible. The researchers tested the zapper on a static electricity harvester and found that it increased its power output by up to 64 percent. This could open up new opportunities for powering remote devices, such as sensors and communication systems, using static electricity harvesters.
