The Electric Field Driven Generator
Dr. Feynman predicted it to be theoretically possible to generate electric energy from an electric field. For realizing his predict, a new electrostatic generating method was proposed by the author that uses Asymmetric electrostatic force as the driving force of a charge carrier for the generator. Therefore this generator was named the electric field driven generator. After experimenting with many models using pendulum-type equipment, rotation-type equipment was tried. This experimental equipment produced electricity continuously when the applied voltage to the high voltage electrode was higher than 5.8 kV. This result was estimated by a simulation, and the measured collection currents for different high voltages almost agreed with the simulated collection current. Therefore the theory of the electric field driven generator was confirmed, and Feynman's dream has become reality.
The Electric Field Energy of an Electret
The new electrostatic generator that is driven by Asymmetric electrostatic force is a very interesting new idea, because it will continue to generate electricity by an electret without any adding energy. This expectation means that the electric field energy of the electret exists even if the electric energy is changed to a kinetic energy. However, this phenomenon has not yet been confirmed by a real experiment.Therefore, a simple experiment that confirm this phenomenon was performed. As a result, the possibility was recognized by the experiment.
A New Electrostatic Generator that is Driven by Asymmetric Electrostatic Force
The new electrostatic generator that is driven by Asymmetric electrostatic force is a very interesting new idea, because it will continue to generate electricity by an electret without any adding energy. The theory predicts that a charge carrier transports some charges from a low potential charge injection electrode to a high potential charge recovery electrode by Asymmetric electrostatic force. However, this phenomenon has not yet been confirmed by a real experiment. Because a leak current that was produced by a high voltage power supply cancel the transported charges. Therefore, a friction charged Teflon sheet was used as a high voltage source in place of the high voltage power supply. As a result, it was confirmed by a simple experiment that the charge carrier transported +3.0nC charges from 0 volts to +160 volts.
