Extracting electric energy from wind using a technology without moving parts has been a temptation for decades. The challenges have stemmed from the fact that a solution requires a multiphysic approach and mastering various fields of technology. such as effective production of charged particles. a twophase flow and proper handling of an electric field. which have to be supported by numerical simulations. When the feasibility of the electrostatic wind energy conversion solution had been proven. big companies such as General Electric [14] and Boeing [28] joined the research. Theoretical considerations indicate that there are big possibilities to improve the results obtained so far. Thus. the vision of the future. in which electricity is produced from wind energy by modular panels in a quiet way without turbines is conceivable.
