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.

Of course, it was the latter, as [Jana Marie Hemsing], had created an electrostatic adhesion plate because she was curious about the phenomenon. A PCB with extra insulation has an array of ...

THE description by Van Wyk and Kühn 1 of their corona motor reminded me that a number of years ago I made an electrostatic motor, in basic concept not unlike their motor, but fitted with metal ...

Normally electrostatic sparks are very small. If the object has a lot of charge, then these sparks can be hundreds of metres long. Sparks can occur between charged objects and people. Sometimes ...

A plotter that uses an electrostatic method of printing. Liquid toner models use a positively charged toner that is attracted to paper which is negatively charged by passing by a line of ...

What is Electrostatic Force Microscopy? Electrostatic Force Microscopy (EFM) is a scanning probe microscopy technique that measures the electrostatic interactions between a conductive probe and a ...
