Electrostatic loudspeakers work by the attraction and repulsion of a thin conductive film in an electric field rather than the magnetic attraction and repulsion you’ll find in a moving-coil ...

You might have heard of electrets being used in microphones, but do you know what they are? Electrets produce a semi-permanent static electric field, similar to how a magnet produces a magnetic ...

An electrostatic loudspeaker uses a thin plastic diaphragm residing between two perforated metal sheets (the grids or stator plates). The audio signal is applied to the grids out of phase.

In contemporary semiconductor manufacturing, electrostatic chucks (ESCs) securely hold a silicon wafer (or other substrate) in place using electrostatic forces rather than mechani ...

A plotter that uses an electrostatic method of printing. Liquid toner models use a positively charged toner that is attracted to paper which is negatively charged by passing by a line of ...

This transparent "tape," known as an electrostatic sticker, is becoming more common in dashcam kits. Manufacturers aim to ...

Normally electrostatic sparks are very small. If the object has a lot of charge, then these sparks can be hundreds of metres long. Sparks can occur between charged objects and people. Sometimes ...

Magnetic force can overcome gravity. That’s why this magnet can hover in mid-air. Electrostatic force also attracts and repels objects. Rubbing the balloon on another surface creates a small ...
