Well, someone made some progress somewhere or the idea wouldn't be making a comeback now.

Well, frm what I can see, the design they have will suffer from corona discharge. Also, if there is no collector surface, charges will accumulate on nearby objects. This could be hazardous if used in populated areas.

I suspect rain, dust or fog would also discharge their system. It might function as a fog collector!

Maybe the best use would be at sea.

The original idea of electrostatic collection of wind energy dates back to the 1960s and 1970s, with a fellow named Marks having important patents in 1977.
