A century after Nikola Tesla sketched a turbine with no blades, researchers are now using that same counterintuitive design to pull useful power out of static electricity. The latest experiments pair ...

This is the first study to demonstrate electricity generation via the particulate static effect by using a Tesla turbine structure. The proposed device can be operated solely with practical compressed ...

One key to harvesting the ocean’s clean energy—at least a little of it—may lie in static electricity. A team of researchers in Portugal has now successfully used it to run small generators inside a ...

The demand for energy is ever-increasing across various industries. In recent decades, scientists have explored the electrostatic potential of ...

BOULDER, Colo. — Imagine a future where simply driving along a highway or even walking down a sidewalk could produce electricity to power street lights or traffic signals. That future is now for ...

Okay, not actually a cyclotron… but this ball cyclotron is a good model for what a cyclotron does and the concepts behind it feel kooky and magical. A pair of Ping Pong balls scream around a glass ...
