I've seen these Bluetti units recommended on some YouTube channels. Folks were pretty happy with them https://www.bluettipower.com/. They are available on Amazon.
Okay, ballistics aside but still quite in theory, by the element of motion, one is producing static electricity and one does have a ground.
For our aspiring physicists.......is there anything there?
Yes, but they would be easy to measure in milli-watt-hours.
Might be OK to charge a battery powered watch.
Maybe even a flip phone, if it only runs part time.
Would need about a million of them to start a car.

Okay, it was just a question....with the 53E, it is a 100000 volts in one sweep on the main rotor.

Yes, the static coming off the main roter would be more power.
I thought you meant the static coming off our bodies in day to day activity. Humans can generate about 15kv (if the weather is dry), and a short spike of a few amps, but the constant current equivalent is quite small.

In Junior Hugh, we used to drag our feet (wearing "wallaby" desert boots) worked the best, to generate a charge. Then, sneak up on someone and touch their ear lobe, thus grounding the stored charge. A nice blue spark and a slight "crack" could be head, followed by a foot chase through the library...
AS you say, this ONLY worked during a "Santa Ana" condition, when the humidity was <20%.
Now, to bring this up to current. Static electricity is a real problem for people that slide their butts across fabric seats, then reach for a grounded gas nozzle...

Great way to set a gas station on fire. Or at least you car.
"Do Not Reenter Vehicle While Fueling" signs should be next to the no smoking signs.
I tend to keep my hand on the fuel handle until finished, but then, I drive a bumblebee.
I have move on from this idea since after further research for my needs. I want all UL 'listed' components. I may get a small unit for traveling, but not now.
