<p>The present invention provides an electrostatic motor (20) wherein the poles (26) of the stator (22) have a substantial geometry in the shape of fixed 'comb-poles' adapted to be crossed by moving 'comb-poles' (28) of the rotor (24). The fixed comb-poles (26) are equally spaced apart, radially and inwardly extending from an electrically insulating hollowed outer cylinder (30) forming the stator (22). while the moving comb-poles (28) are equally spaced apart, radially and outwardly extending from an electrically insulating inner cylinder (32) forming the rotor (24) and located inside the stator (22). Having all those combs (26, 28) essentially facing each other allows for taking full advantage (100 % in theory) of the electric force vector created between adjacent comb-poles (26) of the stator (22) onto the free moving rotor comb-poles (28) when they are electrically charged. The rotor comb-poles (28) become charged by passing through a stator comb-pole (26) there by eliminating any known collector devices. This geometry allows for making AC or DC motors using the electrostatic power with a theoretical efficiency of nearly 100 %.</p> |
