This seems like a very obvious solution. But of course I am ignorant on electricity generation and or the physics involved. I am hopeful someone will enlighten us.
Really hoping for some better, first-principles or technically comprehensive answers here from the HN hive-mega-mind....sigh. And I wasn't the only one... I reckon nobody gives out expertise for free these days, myself included, so I understand y’all’s reluctance. Double heavy sigh.
It's apparently been done, but the amount generated was very small and it's not clear it could be scaled up to any useful amounts.

Excellent! I like it when experimentalists and technologists prove some significant set of theoreticians wrong!
Interesting read, thank you for finding it.
