The key to the Wimshurst machine’s operation lies in a process called electrostatic induction, which is essentially the influence that a charged object can exert on nearby objects, even without ...

Electrostatic motors are now common in MEMS applications, but researchers at the University of Wisconsin and spinoff C-Motive Technologies have brought macroscale electrostatic motors back.

This negative charge creates an electric field that attracts the neutral aluminum foil balls through a process called electrostatic induction. The foil balls dance because they are repeatedly ...

This project worked toward developing a new generation of semiconductors by combining silicon and gallium arsenic perfect-crystal formation and static-induction control technologies. Static induction ...

The Wimshurst Machine belonged to a class of generators called influence machines, they separated electric charges through electrostatic induction or influence. The Wimshurst Machine is self ...
