Electrostatic motor

[synchro1]

@Tinselkoala,


                   Thanks! I really appreciate your patience and consideration towards deepening my understanding. You're the best.


A quote from the Shinsei patent:


"Additionally, in the electrostatic motor according to the present invention, a stainless steel etc. or an inorganic insulator that produce less residual gas, such as porcelain or glass, are used as components. Therefore, the electrostatic motor can be used in the clean vacuum. Further, using a nonmagnetic material as a metallic components results in a nonmagnetic motor, which can be used in a strong magnetic field".



Stressing the importance of a "clean vacuum".

last picture might be similar to the Koop-Etchells Effect.

Have a look at Lidmotor's "Lord Kelvin Replenisher" and "Electrostatic Motor":

I don't know but I wonder if something like lenz law append when we made most of replenisher in the same axle.

Here an interseting video:

So, aparently each time I want to found if friction is conservative it is not.

Awesome small device from Lidmotor! May it hold a secret for a selfrunner?

It never came to my mind to use a precharged cap as a power source... how retarded from me. This simple device shows that an approach from the other side can be more fruitful.

What did he say: so he precharged a smallcap [ 0.015 µF,  250V ]  with a simple 3 volt battery? And this drives the motor for 10 minutes. For so long??? Why doesn't it lose the charge during the rotation?

It also brings me back to the Testatika, which was self-rotating. It's definitely possible to charge up small caps with rectified electrostatic impulses from some kind of Wimshurst device and it doesn't take 10 minutes. So if you can charge up some caps bank quicker than it draws the power...

Oh, wait, and let's say we have electrets to charge up the caps or directly power the motor? Even more fun...
