    Where I am, humidity and rainfall energy capture would be a device that is welcomed. At least we've got this sunlight thing figured out.

      I think rain also has this static buildup property, l've seen a video on extracting energy from falling water droplets a long while ago, l'll try to find that. I wonder how well this system works...

      I wonder how well this system works if snow melts; would liquid water conduct electrons away, or ground the charges or something?
