When learning to be an electrokinetic i came upon a problem when i realized there was a negitave and a positive charge to electricty. I am wondering if the
electrokinetics out there can give me some insite on what charge you become when you practice it.
Positive or negative? Both? Do you choose one? Can you have both charges at the same time?
How does this work. When you light up a bulb, for instance, you need a negitave charge and a positive charge.

I hate to aid you in your misguided 'studies' but here's how it works.
There are two types of electricity, static and dynamic. Static electricity, as you might expect, stays in one place. It doesn't need a full circuit to exist, hence, no positive or negative. This is why you can get shocked from, for instance, touching a doorknob. The static electricity built up in your body arcs to the more conductive metal doorknob.
Dynamic electricity is the kind that we use for power in everything electronic. It is formed by electrons moving through a circuit along the negative line, so for instance when a circuit is powered by a battery, the electrons flow through the wire from the negative end of the battery, through the lightbulb or whatever is being powered, and then return to the positive end.
There are two types of dynamic electricity: AC (Alternating Current) and DC (Direct Current), respectively invented by Thomas Edison and Nicola Tesla. AC current is the kind that our home wall sockets output; Simply put, rather than flowing from negative to positive, electrons move back and forth in the wires, as positive and negative are rapidly switched back and forth. This is why it's called Alternating Current. AC is used in power lines because it can travel a longer distance than DC, and can also be more easily adjusted to different voltages.
Direct Current is the current found in batteries. Electrons in DC ,simply flow from negative to positive like in the earlier circuit analogy. Most or all home electronics run off of DC; They have transformers inside to change the AC wallsocket current to DC which they can use.
That said, the concept of electrokinesis makes no sense whatsoever to me; Firstly, dynamic current would be seemingly impossible, even within the realm of already impossible things.
That leaves static electricity; Incidentally, lightning is a form of static electricity. You cannot, of course, power any electronics off of static since it does not have positive and negative polarities.
At best, even if electrokinesis was possible, your only feasible possibility would be to create sparks or shocks, which is pretty much useless.
Enjoy.
