Moving water electrostatic generator

AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the potential of using moving water to influence electric fields and generate electricity, specifically through an electrohydrodynamic generator. It references the known effect of electric fields bending water streams and questions whether moving water can inversely affect electric fields. The idea is proposed that engine exhaust, primarily composed of water vapor and carbon dioxide, could be utilized in this process. Participants suggest that as water vapor passes through an electric field, it may generate voltage or current. The concept aims to innovate beyond traditional methods like Kelvin's generator, focusing on cleaner energy generation.

There is known effect when electric field bends water stream:

Does that mean that moving water inversely affect electric field?If yes,could we make electric generator in which moving water would affect electric field and produce voltage or current?
Exhaust of engines is mostly water.
I mean something different from Kelvin`s generator because the latest one uses impure (ionized water).

Do you have a specific application in mind?

Do you have a specific application in mind?

Sure.Because engine exhaust is mostly water and carbon dioxide which are both poler molecules
we could try to build some kind of electrohydrodynamic generator.When water vapor will go past electric field it may influence this field somehow and generate electricity. Electrostatic engine.
