This is my first time posting here so if this is the wrong forum, I apologize in advance. I've been doing some web browsing and can't find much information on this idea I have been tossing around in my head and thought this might be a good place to ask about it. The idea. Static electricity induced perptual motion generator. I really don't have any idea if anything like this would be possible and if it would if static electricity could produce enough energy to be worth it. The basic idea would be that this generator would have an internal battery for start up and storing a base amount of energy so that it can keep running. The spinning of the device could produce static electricity through friction perhaps? Is static electricity even usuable as an energy source? I'm sure someone much smarter than me could have come up with this idea sooner if it was possible, and even immediatly dismissing this idea would not be taken as an insult. Any feedback would be appreciated, and again I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum.
