Engineers have been tantalizing by the virtues of motors based on an entirely different principle: electrostatics.
Electrostatics could offer an overall boost in efficiency ranging from 30 percent to close to 100 percent .
They would use only cheap, plentiful materials, rather than the rare-earth elements, special steel alloys, and copious quantities of copper found in conventional motors.
Their prototype is capable of delivering torque as high as 18 newton meters and power at 360 watts ( 0.5 horsepower).
C-Motive's motor uses nonconductive rotor and stator disks on which have been deposited many thin, closely spaced conductors radiating outward from the disk’s center, like spokes in a bicycle wheel.
The 360-watt motor is hundreds of times more powerful than previous electrostatic motors, which have power output measured in milliwatts .
The machine would be feeble if the dielectric between the charges was air.
