Hi,
Have anyone of you been thinking of converting electromagnetism into electrostatic propulsion?
If a transformer is fed with 240 VAC. This transforms 240 V into 100 kV (AV - Alternating Voltage, rather than AC - Alternating Current)
If two plates is charged with opposite or equal polarity they will either attract or repel eachother. Then synced with the alternating voltage to make propulsion that force the electrostatic motor into rotation.
How will the electrostatic situation affect the back EMF? Will it or will it not generate back EMF when the motor is not driven by a magnetic field, but an electric field instead?

An idea is to use an electromagnet that is trigged by a rotating magnet. The electromaget has lots of windings - really many windings. So we have a high voltage generator. The high voltage is fed into some type og sheets that is charged with high voltage. The sheets is aligned in line with rotation to avoid air resistance, and they attract eachother at the right time so the generator can run itself with a force that is not magnetic.
Any thoughts why this should not work?
