Gravity Wave Detector as Random Voltage Source?

[Rob]

Well, er, thats what Im getting at! ;)

I would *think* the normal "shot noise" that is generated from random
movement of the electrons due to heat differences and such would be greater
than any effect gravity would have on electrons..

Im sure gravity would have a sort of an effect on electrons near the surface
(like static electricity) but in the actual material it would be too small
to use.

Hrm... maybe if you had some sort of electrolyte for the electrons to move
freely in?
