  • Patent number: 6353276
    Abstract: The present invention provides an electrostatic motor wherein the poles of the stator have a substantial geometry in the shape of fixed “comb-poles” adapted to be crossed by moving “comb-poles” of the rotor. The fixed comb-poles are equally spaced apart, radially and inwardly extending from an electrically insulating hollowed outer cylinder forming the stator, while the moving comb-poles are equally spaced apart, radially and outwardly extending from an electrically insulating inner cylinder forming the rotor and located inside the stator. Having all those combs essentially facing each other allows for taking full advantage (100% in theory) of the electric force vector created between adjacent comb-poles of the stator onto the free moving rotor comb-poles when they are electrically charged. The rotor comb-poles become charged by passing through a stator comb-pole thereby eliminating any known collector devices.
