ABSTRACT:
A novel induction-type electrostatic generator is disclosed in which moving electrodes are transported back and forth between two Faraday cages. Each moving electrode, once enclosed by a cage, is contacted to the cage, then separated by more than the sparking distance before making electrical connection to the opposite moving electrode or to ground. In this way, charge opposite in polarity but proportional in magnitude to the charge on each cage, is induced in each moving electrode and carried into and imparted onto the next cage, progressively elevating the cage potentials until the corona or arcing limits are reached. Initiation of charging is spontaneous, deriving from inevitable statistical imbalances in nature.
