We tend to think of electricity as part of the modern world. However, Thales of Mietus recorded information about static electricity around 585 BC. This Greek philosopher found that rubbing amber with ...

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. [via ...

Dual stator-winding induction generators represent a significant evolution in generator design, incorporating two independent stator windings to enhance operational flexibility and performance. By ...

THE subject of electrostatics is not per se one of very great importance either to the electrical engineer or the student of electricity, and it is open to question whether a text-book devoted to the ...

People from ancient times knew that rubbing certain materials and then touching something caused a spark. Studying what is called electrostatics laid the groundwork for understanding electricity and ...
