The Optimized Electrostatic Motor, Christopher Lee Rambin
Doctoral Dissertations
The most common means of electrically activated actuation is the electromagnetic motor. All electromagnetic motors have a low output to weight ratio and low energy efficiency. The motor's weight is due to the coils and magnets used to generate propulsion. The energy loss is mainly the result of Joule heating that is inherent with any current driven device. An electrostatic motor offers the potential of significantly less weight and higher energy efficiency. This lower weight characteristic is due to the epoxide material used to construct the major components of its propulsion unit. Greater efficiency results from the reduced Joule heating …

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - All Scholarship
The aim of this paper is to consider the problem of electromagnetic scattering from perfectly conducting strips coated with thin dielectric material by use of the adaptive multiscale moment method (AMMM). In the next section, the basic formulation is presented for analysis of scattering from coated conducting strips on the basis of a coupled system of electric- and magnetic-field integral equations. Section 3 outlines the computational methodology of the multiscale basis by use of the moment method. Section 4 presents AMMM to solve the coupled EM integral equations. Section 5 presents a variety of numerical examples for different coating strips …
