English abstract:
In this paper, the possibility of using the static charge that accumulates on aircraft during flight as a source to power
monitoring sensors is examined. The assessed methods include using a pair of materials with different air-flow charging
rates, contact discharging of the fuselage to neutral metallic bodies, charge motion induction by the fuselage field and
inductive harvesting of fuselage-to-air corona discharges at static discharge wicks. The installation and potential
advantages of each method are discussed. The feasibility of directly charging a storage capacitor from accumulated static
charge is studied experimentally, demonstrating a voltage of 25V on a 25nF capacitor.
