On one roadway, a thousand vehicles pass by every day, and each one releases negative electrons. This common occurrence allows us to obtain an additional energy source to help our community provide electricity when a shortage or emergency comes.

Defining friction and energy

Friction produces static electricity by initiating the transfer of electrons between two or more objects. Concerning electron transfers, objects are either conductors or insulators. Conductors give up electrons readily because the electrons are not confined to a particular atom. Insulators do not transfer electrons readily. We can create friction by rubbing two objects together, such as when tires grind against a surface. When a car travels a distance, its tires come into contact with the road, which creates friction, especially if the car is traveling quickly. We can use a generator to create electricity out of friction.There are many methods of generating electricity including solar energy, power plants, and geothermal energy, but generating energy through friction is one of the best ways to acquire electricity.
