I'm wondering if you could succeed in building an Electrostatic-Donut Version Of a Magnetic-Donut, a magnetic-donut where it's field travels right around the donut.
I know most people claim that no one has achieved in making such a magnetic-donut
- what about linking lots of magnets together
- what about linking 4 magnets together using iron, to form a donut
- and I posted at least one( a diagram ) of a more sophisticated possible method, but it seems my explanation of how it worked was not easy to understand,
Obviously this has only been done with mercury, where they achieve the 'Perpetual-Current' phenomenon
However, this thread is about an Electrostatic-Donut Version Of a Magnetic-Donut, but it has the same goal as the mercury design, in that it is to achieve the 'Perpetual-Current' phenomenon
So I assume the idea of this thread could include both plastics and or metals,
For anyone who doesn't believe that the perpetual/persistent-current phenomenon exists, here it is on wikipedia :

Obviously the main difference between an Electrostatic-Donut, and a Magnetic-Donut( where it's field travels right around the donut ), is that the Electrostatic-Donut is not a magnet
I'm only pointing that out, because yesterday, when I mentioned
Quoteboth plastics and or metals
I started thinking that an Electrostatic-Donut made of metal( instead of out of some plastic or something ), could be the same as a Magnetic-Donut, for some reasons, e.g. when electricity flows in a wire it turns that wire into a type of temporary-magnet( but with a rotating electromagnetic-field ), but even if that happened, it would not be the same as a permanent-magnet,
- it starts getting confusing there
I wonder if materials to make an Electrostatic-Donut could include
- crystals / or diamonds
- superconductive version of graphene
- other superconductor materials

Obviously the problem would be how to tap what would be completely trapped in the loop

Also, almost 2 years ago I posted this diagram, of a method I thought that may make it possible to create a Magnetic-Donut( where it's field travels right around the donut ), although one of the responses told me it would not work, it is the diagram below
