There currently isn't a device in the commercial world that does this, because its not very practical and its not easy.

Though static electric can be hundreds of volts, the amount of energy is very small when compared to normal electric currents.

There has been recent developments in clothing which charge a battery. I believe this works by collecting static generated made within the specially made fibres.

There is apparently a few different types of experimental devices that appear to collect electric from thin air. And I think some of the devices work by attracting large amounts of static electric. But large electric voltages have to be created in the first place to be able to collect the additional static electricity. Search for 'Spatial Energy Coherence' to find theses types of experiments. Some videos on YouTube can be found also.

What are the 3 ways we can generate static electricity?

Frictional contact, induction, and triboelectric effect are three ways static electricity can be generated. Rubbing two materials together, separating them after contact, or charging an object by bringing it close to a charged object can all result in the buildup of static electricity.


How can one reduce the electric charges?

There are several ways in which electric charges, or static electricity can be reduced. An increase in humidity in the home environment can help, as static occurs more frequently in a dry environment. Synthetic fabrics are notorious for producing static so natural materials should be chosen.

What are some ways you use static electricity?

Photo Copy machines use static electricity to get the ink in the places where it needs to be copied. There's an artist that uses static electricity to fly the different paint onto the paper. They also use static electricity to paint cars. (True enough, I got the artist thing from Bill Nye The Science Guy)


Does PVC pipe generate static electricity?

A PVC pipe alone does not generate static electricity. Electrons need to be transfered for static electricity to be generated. Rubbing felt on the pipe or spraying it with sand are two common ways that people can use PVC pipe to generate static electricity.
