Electric rain can eat through metal

> People have wanted to collect rain to create electricity, but that hasn’t worked on a large scale

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!
