1. A generator system comprising:
a) an ion source placed by a person to produce ions;
b) a charge collection circuit containing a load and a collector of ions, the charge collection circuit including a means for storing a charge from the ions, connected to the collector of ions and the load, and a means for discharging the means for storing the charge; and
c) a static field that accelerates the ions from the ion source and increases an energy of the ions, the static field including a first electret and a second electret, the second electret having an opposite charge to the first electret and placed in position to create the static field between the first electret and the second electret, the ion source accelerates the ions to a given velocity, wherein the ions move through the static field created by the first electret and the second electret.
 
2. A generator system comprising:
a) a first collector that collects ions of a given charge, either positive or negative;
b) an ion source configured to create ions of the given charge within the first collector and cause ions of an opposite charge to be emitted from the first collector;
c) a first charge collection circuit connected to the first collector; and
d) a static field positioned to accelerate ions of the opposite charge created by the ion source and to cause electricity to flow along the first collector to eliminate ions of the given charge created by the ion source in the first collector and cause electricity to flow into or out of the first charge collection circuit.
 
12. A generator system comprising:
a) a first collector configured to collect ions of a given charge, either positive or negative;
b) an ion source placed by a user not within the first collector configured to create ions of the given charge in a vicinity of the first collector;
c) a first charge collection circuit connected to the first collector and configured to cause and collect electricity flowing along the first collector; and
d) a static field positioned to accelerate ions of the given charge created by the ion source towards the first collector and is positioned to cause electricity to flow along the first collector to neutralize the ions of the given charge that make contact with the first collector.
