How do you store electrical energy from the source?
Jay asked:
What type of device will allow you to put electrical energy from the electrical source to a battery? Let’s take an example that you are probably familar with-the fur and rod example. If I rub the two together I get an electrical charge. Now, what would I attach to the rod and fur and what device would be able to put that electrical energy into a battery?
Example 2-How do you store the energy that is being made from a mechanical device? If you know of specific products please list them.

The amount of energy in a static charge is very tiny. In addition, it is at a very high voltage, tens of thousands of volts, and a very low current, microamps. A battery needs low voltage and high current, so they are not suitable for each other.
2. Mechanical device? Perhaps you mean a generator or alternator? These can be connected together if the generator is built for this purpose with the correct voltage output, and the correct controls are there to avoid overcharging the battery.
