Abstract:
1. An electrical converter system comprising: a static electricity collector having a conductor that collects static electricity from the atmosphere and outputs a collected energy, the conductor having a height from a stationary structure, the height being adjustable by a motor coupled with the stationary structure; a plurality of converters in electrical communication with the conductor, each converter configured to accept a unique range of voltages and producing a uniform electrical output; a plurality of switches, each switch receiving an input voltage based on the collected energy from the conductor, and connected to corresponding one of said plurality of converters; and a monitor having a sensor that measures the collected energy from the conductor, the monitor operating the motor to adjust the height of the conductor relative to the stationary structure such that the collected energy remains within a selected operating range, the sensor further identifying a level of the input voltage of each of switch to selectively close one of the plurality of switches in response to the level of the input voltage and based on the unique range of voltages.
