Sona Comstar and C-Motive will collaborate to develop electrostatic drive motors for electric vehicle (EV) applications. Serial production is expected to start in 2026, the company said in a release.

C-Motive Technologies, Inc. is a Madison, Wisconsin based cleantech startup creating the world’s most energy efficient direct-drive motor technology. Through the use of electrostatic forces, the ...

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 ...

Watching the gears, springs, and other mechanicals working away inside a traditional watch is a thing of mesmerizing beauty. This is a key feature of the Accutron DNA, as the dial actually exposes the ...

It is pretty damn cool. I wonder if that may be the way to go for e.g. space. Anyone knows any more about such motors? I can't really find much online except for old patent applications and zillion ...
