a technolgical thought

I have been thinking of this very big idea since my school days...Now its over a long gap nearly five big years.Still I am afraid to discuss about this to others. This idea is so simple. Its about passing electricity through air, which is the only thing that is present everywhere.I have studied in Physics that when a force is exerted over an atom of a gas a hole can be created by the discharge of a negative ion or an electron. If such a negative ion comes out of the atom, it can definetly form a bonding with another atom and that might result in a creation of a hole. If this process continues which means if there is a flow of electron from one atom to the other then surely it can form a definite direction, which in turn results in the production or passage of electricity. I am not sure with this idea. This is just my imagination. If you have any thoughts or suggestions regarding this please help me.
