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.
“This whole field, studying electrostatic interactions between living animals, has the potential to uncover things that didn’t occur to us about how the world works.” “We know from all ...
An electrostatic loudspeaker uses a thin plastic diaphragm residing between two perforated metal sheets (the grids or stator plates). The audio signal is applied to the grids out of phase.
Magnetic force can overcome gravity. That’s why this magnet can hover in mid-air. Electrostatic force also attracts and repels objects. Rubbing the balloon on another surface creates a small ...
Electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) or electrostatic air cleaners are particulate collection devices which use electrostatic forces to separate particulate matter (PM) from exhaust gases. Electrostatic ...
