- Sky_voltage abstract "Sky voltage refers to an electrostatic voltage gradient that is present in the free air of the atmosphere, and which can have a different voltage potential relative to the surface of the planet. The gradient varies with atmospheric humidity, dropping lower on days with high humidity, and higher in very dry air. The voltage potential averages about 120 volts per meter.Tall insulated metallic objects can absorb these voltage gradients out of the atmosphere, and conduct the voltage to a terrestrial collection and measurement station.Low-power electrostatic motors and toys can be driven from this collected sky voltage when one side is connected to earth ground, and the other is connected to the sky collector, such as a kite or balloon with a foil collector and fine wire running down to the ground. A collector 200-300 ft high can develop a sky to ground potential as high as 20,000 volts.".
