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.

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 ...

The system has two turbines that generate electricity through a phenomenon known as electrostatic induction. Under the mechanism, when charged objects, called electrified bodies, are placed near ...

Additionally, the geometry of induction electrodes used in electrostatic spraying has been studied to enhance charging efficiency. Research indicates that modifications to the electrode design ...

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 ...
