I present to you: The Flux Capacitor

It is real ladies and gentlemen.  The flux capacitor has been invented.  I did not intend to create it but it has been done.  I just wanted to make a triboelectric flag and somehow we arrived at a real flux capacitor.  It is just as powerful as it is portrayed in the movies.  Here is the diagram:

Or another way to draw it:

So the "bar" looking things on the right side can be anything.  In the case of a triboelectric flux capacitor (the flux electrolyte would be a liquid or a gas) they can ideally be TechniCOT fabric from lessemf.com that are laminated on both sides in polypropylene for the negative ones and laminated on both sides with polyurethane for the positive ones.  Since polypropylene charges negatively in air and polyurethane charges positively in air, they would charge each pole of the capacitor opposite charges respectively.

How does it work? Well the "flux" part means there must be movement of a medium to act as an electrolyte in this capacitor.  Air or water would be the most common but any liquid or gas or plasma or solid or aether (research 'magnetic unity' on this site) can be used.  For magnetic unity aether flux capacitor the sheets to harvest it may need to have a moving magnetic or electric field within themselves.  Anyway for simplicity sake lets look at an air triboelectric flux capacitor.  The air will go over and under and between and around the coated sheets.  The sheets would develop charges which would charge the three intermediate capacitors.  Then these three would charge the big capacitor which would be used to power devices.  In this case we have a series flux capacitor for higher voltage (our initial goal could be to provide 5v to charge a cell phone) but a parallel design where the positives are connected to other positives and negatives to other negatives could also be made or any other connection pattern including the hive connection I developed Periodic Energy archive link.  There can be any number of layers or cells as desired but preferably an even number.  There can be any number or ratio or combination of capacitors, batteries, chargr collector plates, diodes, power supplies, or other power sources or power storage devices or any other element in the circuit connected in any way (series, parallel, etc).  Also this circuit could be grounded at one or more points but I don't think that would be necessary for optimum efficiency.  Likely the closer the "electrode" sheets are together without grounding eachothers charge the better, just like in a normal capacitor or battery.

For my first practical use case I envision is basically a 6 layer flag that has each sheet as a rectangle with the long side phi times the length of the short side so 1.618 times as long.  So basically a 3 ft x 5 ft rectangle would be about right.  The flag sheets would be the bars on the above diagram and would be connected to capacitors and eachother in the way the diagram shows.  As wind blows through the layers (preferably the layers would be horizontal but vertical could work) the wind charges up the polypropylene coated sheets negatively and the polyurethane coated sheets positively (see a triboelectric series chart for more info and other possible materials) which charges the intermediate capacitors and the final capacitor.  The intermediate capacitors need not exist but they should improve the efficiency.  Also the final capacitor also need not exist but I believe it will help store more charge.

The flux capacitor can be used for anything including powering cars, charging batteries, powering homes, powering the grid, or any other use including of course time machines.  Multiple flux capacitors can be used together or singly.  Driving around with a flux capacitor may be able to achieve over-unity because energy would not only be taken from the kinetic energy of the wind but also the brownian motion and static charge.  In other words the flux capacitor may be able to extract more energy from air than just by slowing down the air like how a propellor would.  Then again, it might not.

The three capacitors can be arranged as follows:

The Doc's flux capacitor was likely a liquid one.  He must have had a pump that circulated liquid over the triboelectric sheets.  Food scraps can be digested into Formic Acid and aluminum would add ions to the solution likely enhancing the charge that developed on the sheets as the liquid circulated over them.  Extreme charges can also be developed on a flux capacitor using hydrogen sulfide or hydrogen telluride gas and/or ash which in nature creates millions of volts as volcanic lightning.
