A means for harvesting local energy and using it to generate local electric power is disclosed which uses as its energy source P-Static charge generated on the external surfaces of aircraft flying through the earths atmosphere or generated on the external surfaces of electrically ungrounded objects immersed in the wind and subjected to the impact of charge generating ingredients contained in the atmosphere or wind. The P-Static charge is collected and stored in a high voltage rechargeable capacitor storage unit at several thousand volts with energy removed from the storage unit as needed and converted to low voltage DC or AC power which, in turn, is used to power local, low power consumption electronic chips and devices. Data measured by the chips or devices is relayed wirelessly back to a receiver located within the aircraft or object with the wireless transmitter also powered by the P-Static Electrical Power System.
