The present invention relates to an electrohydrodynamic generator unit with a chamber. The chamber is provided with at least one hole electrode with at least one hole. The hole electrode is connected to a voltage source and is intended to generate a direct voltage field in the chamber. The chamber is further connected to at least one reservoir that contains a fluid such as water. The chamber further comprises at least one collecting electrode coupled to an electrical load. The elec trohydrodynamic generator unit functions in that said reservoir is coupled to an electrically earthed fluid feeding member arranged in the chamber, which member is intended, via at least one opening adapted to corresponding holes in the hole electrode, to eject drops of fluid from the reservoir towards the hole electrode, which fluid drops are charged by an electric direct voltage field generated by the hole electrode, to which a voltage has been applied, and are then accelerated through the chamber past the holes in the hole electrode and strike the collecting electrode, where the drops deposit their charge. The collecting electrode is intend¬ ed in turn to be coupled to an electrical load via the earthed fluid feeding member, wherein a closed circuit is formed, which is capable of driving the load with the charges that have been deposited on the collecting electrode. |
