Abstract: We have studied the possibility of generating electricity directly by using the charge that is created in a corona discharge and transferred by airflow in the direction perpendicular to the discharge axis. Results of experimental measurements and theoretical estimations confirm this possibility. The electric power output from corona discharge in experiment was on the order of 10$^{-3}$ W, which is about one-tenth of the theoretical limit. It is proposed to use this effect for creating wind-driven generators.
