It might be a useful effect for small electronics in damp environments where solar isn't a great option. Caves, rainforests, showers.

Wonder if this effect happens at all with stone.
protonated rain aka acid rain
So if I pour water onto a huge dome of metal, it might build up enough of a negative static charge to jump a spark gap? New science exhibit idea!
