Abstract From the Canadian patent

The present invention provides an electrostatic motor wherein the poles of the stator have a substantial geometry in the shape of fixed "combpoles", adapted to be crossed by moving "comb-poles" of the rotor. The fixed combpoles , are equally spaced apart, radially and inwardly extending from an electrically insulating hollowed outer cylinder forming the stator while the , moving, comb-poles are equally spaced apart radially and outwardly extending from an electrically insulating inner cylinder forming the rotor and located inside the stator. Having all those combs essentially facing each other allows for taking full advantage (100% in theory) of the electric force vector created between …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed September 15, 1999 and granted January 29, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 15, 2019.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 15, 2021.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
