The invention relates to electric energy generation from wind energy in a much more efficient way than current ones. This is done by means of passing the air or other humidity holding gas through an electric field which must be below the dielectric rupture limit of the gas. There must be no great divergence of electric field lines. The free electrons contained in the gas, of greater mobility than the ions, are attached to the greater mass water molecules, which will diminish their mobility and their detachment from negative ions which are at the center of clusters. Thus, the wind will tend to move the charges in the same sense and direction as the mass of the gas, resulting in an increase of electric potential across the field. The method allows collecting the charges and allows the increase in the electric potential to be available for its utilization.
