Abstract The purpose of this project is to see if the temperatures of water affects how the Kelvin Electrostatic generator works. The Kelvin Electrostatic generator generates a small arch of electricity from static energy of flowing water through two inducers one that is a positive charged and the other is negative charged that creates a spark. Would it be possible for a water tower to generate electricity as well as still creating water pressure, but would it matter the temperature of water?
