An enthusiast suggested using the energy of the air to charge electric planes

Science does not stand still. If earlier humanity could only fantasize about electric cars, today it is

a very real form of transport, albeit notthe most affordable. A fresh idea proposed by enthusiast Michal Bonikowski could become something similar. A designer from Poland has put forward an idea according to which air energy can be used to charge electric planes.

He called his project Eather One.And in order to demonstrate how such a device could look like, the artist even created concept art of the plane, reports Naked Science. As for the principle of operation of such an aircraft, Bonikowski states that “the air is full of electricity, which can be recovered by the friction generated by a flying aircraft. Instead of fuel tanks, triboelectric nanogenerators can be installed in the wings during flight, which, using the vibrations of the structure and the friction created by the bending of the wings during flight, can generate the energy necessary to power several small electric motors.
