A means for harvesting local energy and using it to generate local
electric power is disclosed which uses as its energy source P-Static
charge generated on the external surfaces of aircraft flying through the
earths atmosphere or generated on the external surfaces of electrically
ungrounded objects immersed in the wind and subjected to the impact of
charge generating ingredients contained in the atmosphere or wind. The
P-Static charge is collected and stored in a high voltage rechargeable
capacitor storage unit at several thousand volts with energy removed from
the storage unit as needed and converted to low voltage DC or AC power
which, in turn, is used to power local, low power consumption electronic
chips and devices. Data measured by the chips or devices is relayed
wirelessly back to a receiver located within the aircraft or object with
the wireless transmitter also powered by the P-Static Electrical Power
System.
