  • Patent number: 5002900
    Abstract: A motor is disclosed wherein electro-static repulsion and attraction between electrically charged electrodes provided on a stator and the charges on the surface of a pair of rotor electrodes are used to drive the rotor to rotate within the stator. In another embodiment the moving element is a rod or plate disposed for linear movement in an axial direction according to the charges developed in the stator electrode. The moving element electrode may have a lead by which it can be directly connected to an electric potential or it may be completely isolated from ground and from any electric potential.
