These are usually seen in tiny MEMS devices, and now we have tiny ... For [Nathann]’s Hackaday Prize entry, he’s building electrostatic actuators on the cheap, and not just tiny ones, either.

MEMS are mechanical sensors and actuators that are fabricated using micromachining batch technologies similar to those used for integrated circuits. This translates into highly scalable production ...

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.

The eidophor used electrostatic charge to locally deform ... Figure 2: BMC's 4,092-actuator MEMS DM for the Gemini Planet Imager. BMC also produced the first MEMS DMs to be used in civilian ...

Menlo Micro has released another MEMS electro-mechanical relay ... Contact movement is though electrostatic attraction, with the necessary voltage generated by an integrated charge pump. Also ...
