No gearbox, active cooling, or oversizing needed C-Motive’s electrostatic motors use printed circuit boards instead of magnets A proprietary dielectric fluid inside the machine enables peak performance These rotors and stators are made from standard printed circuit boards (PCBs) and have a highly optimized set of conductive metal traces (poles) that radiate out from the center hub on the plates. Ben Franklin’s design relied on thimbles and Leyden jars; C-Motive’s machines use highly optimized printed circuit boards, modern power electronics, and achieve levels of torque that could never have been dreamt of in the past.
