spectrum.ieee.org: Electrostatic Motors Reach the Macro Scale

It turns out that Benjamin Franklin was on to something in 1747

For this quest he and his team found inspiration in a lesser-known accomplishment of one of the United States’ founding fathers. “The fact is that Benjamin Franklin built and demonstrated a macroscopic electrostatic motor in 1747,” says Krein. “He actually used the motor as a rotisserie to grill a turkey on a riverbank in Philadelphia” (a fact unearthed by the late historian I. Bernard Cohen for his 1990 book Benjamin Franklin’s Science ).


C-Motive’s 360-watt motor has a half dozen each of rotors and stators, shown in yellow in this cutaway illustration. C-MOTIVE TECHNOLOGIES
