Is it possible to draw static electricity from the air and convert it into power?

asking hypothetically or theoretically, i know there isn't anything like it in existence. But is there any theories, experiments, or advancements in such a technology? Is it in the realm of possibility that a car can move along and draw static from the air and use it to run itself?

Answer:
the problem with gathering static electricity is that you have to be already moving to gather it.

Besides, static electricity is very weak. Even the amount of static electricity gathered by a commercial jet wouldnt be useful in a car.
Tesla seemed to think so.
Catch "lightning in a bottle"?! I don't think we're "there"- yet... ...-But ONE of these years...-A modern day "Benjamin Franklin" type- might figure out a way to pull it off. And WHEN he or she- DOES, -Well, - Move over Bill Gates! :)
Unfortunately, average static charges, though usually in the range around 50kV, are usually 1uA or so -- total power in a static shock is about 50mW.
