The key to the Wimshurst machine’s operation lies in a process called electrostatic induction, which is essentially the influence that a charged object can exert on nearby objects, even without ...

Those are motors that run on high voltage, and the attraction and repulsion of charge, commonly known as electrostatic motors ... ion propelled ones to the induction motors which most have ...

This project worked toward developing a new generation of semiconductors by combining silicon and gallium arsenic perfect-crystal formation and static-induction control technologies. Static induction ...

They are caused by a buildup of static electricity or through electrostatic induction where a charged object is placed near a conductive object without access to ground. In most cases, and in the case ...
