electrostatic Motor - static charges

gilles.charles@univ-orleans.fr
Electrostatic motor with a piezzo electric gaz lighter.The aluminium tapes used as brush behave like capacitors.So does the tape in contact with the brush that are stiked.Then there is a repulsive force between the two equally charged tapes, which sets the disk in motion. As the brush contacts with the next tape on the disk, the same phenomen occurs which keeps the motion...

Hello!!

So nice! I would like to try it!

But, an i ask you comething? Where do you get the green device? Or...how do you call it?

Thank you!!

it's very simple power supply : piezzo electric lighter

[hyree]

are the sectioned foils on the cd on the top side or bottom?

[gilbondfac]

on the top side

Very cool. Do u have a an digital instruction book/manual so i can build this stuff too? thanks in advance!

[gilbondfac]

hello! No book no manual! only some photos of my device by email

My email is in the text.

MR. gibondifac , YOUR DEVICE IS GENIUS IF IT WORKS ? UNFORTUNATELY WE CAN'T REPRODUCE ONE, ONLY BY WATCHING YOUR VIDEO . SO WE HAVE TO ASSUME IT DOESN'T , BECAUSE WHAT YOUR SHOWING HERE WOULD BE WELL PUBLICIZED . GIANFRANCO FRONZI . AUGUST /11

@karlbiper14 Encendedor piezoeléctrico.

y que coño es eso, la cosa verde

[Sven2Perroy]

can you generate a current?

[Sven2Perroy]

@olivierfurtado from any electric lighters (the automatic ones, with one button)

great fun to discharge to people ;)

Does the tape ever lose charge? I would assume not as electrostatic induction simply rearranges the charges but im not a scientist.

These things are interesting to mess with - I made one several years ago out of a 1 and 2 liter bottle, with a rotor/stator set up like the typical mini-motor like one would find in a toy. The RPMs were in the few thousands once it was balanced properly, running off of 25-30KV at just microamps.

Awesome.

Nice , but you need to look at the amount of force or energy used to run the flywheel , the input is far more than the out put . I count 16 depressions on one side 29 on on the other side and the flywheel spins for less than a min with no load !
