Abstract

A system and method for generating power. The system has a first electrode member comprising a first region and a second electrode member comprising a second region. Preferably, the second electrode member is coupled to the first electrode member. An electret is coupled between the first electrode member and the second electrode member. The system has a spatial region provided between the first region of the first electrode member and the second region of the second electrode member. A volume of fluid (e.g., liquid, liquid and solids, gas and liquid, solids and gases) is provided between the first region and the second region and is adapted to move between the first region and the second region to cause a change in an electric field characteristic within a portion of the spatial region by the movement of at least a portion of the fluid within the portion of the spatial region to generate a change in voltage potential between the first electrode and the second electrode.
