STATIC ELECTRICITY POWER GENERATION METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE SAME

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a static electricity power generation method and an apparatus for the method which are used for efficiently charging static electricity and efficiently extracting and storing charged static electricity.SOLUTION: In a static electricity power generation method, a capacitor 4 is formed by placing a first conductor 1 and a second conductor 2 so as to face each other through a ferroelectric material 3, and electric charges are accumulated in the capacitor 4 by charging the first conductor 1 with electric charges of static electricity while the second conductor 2 is grounded and the first conductor 1 is maintained under the insulation conditions. Subsequently, the ground connection of the second conductor 2 is released and the first conductor 1 and the second conductor 2 are connected with a secondary battery. These processes allow the electric charges accumulated in the capacitor 4 to be stored in the secondary battery.
