This paper studies electrostatically suspended induction motors (ESIM). The ESIM possesses the rotating ability of an ordinary electrostatic induction motor, in addition to providing contactless support by electrostatic suspension. To accomplish these two functions, a feedback control strategy and the operating principle of an ordinary electrostatic induction motor are used. The stator possesses electrodes which exert the electrostatic forces to the rotor and are divided into a part responsible for suspension and one for rotation. Two rotor types are utilized: a polished glass disk without any surface treatment, and a polished glass disk covered with a thin layer of conductive material (ITO layer) on only one side. In this paper, the principle of the ESIM is described, followed by stator electrode design, experimental apparatus, control strategy for stable suspension. Experimental results show that the glass disk has been rotated with a speed of approximately 70 rpm while being suspended stably at a gap length of 0.3 mm.

A miniature size electrostatic induction motor has been fabricated and studied with emphasis on the role of the surface resistivity, the relative dielectric constant of the rotor surface materials and the rotor liner materials, which control the charge induction and relaxation on the rotor surface and the field intensity between the rotor and the stator. It is found that the higher resitivity and/or the higher relative dielectric constant, concurrently the longer relaxation time constant of the rotor surface materials make the motor speed get higher speed. In case of discrete coated rotor surface it is found that the motor speed was increased logarithmically as narrow as width of the discrete coated Ti. And the degree of width of discrete coated Ti to the axial direction of the rotor was $60^{\circ}$ and $150^{\circ}$, the motor has got a 125% higher than that at the degree of $0^{\circ}$.

A miniature size electrostatic induction motor has been fabricated and studied parameters Influencing dominantly to the motor speed, such as a voltage and frequency of the 3 phase ac power source supplied to the stator of fabricated motor, the surface resistivity and relative dielectric constant of the rotor surface materials and the concurrently calculated relaxation time constants. It is found that the higher resitivity and/or the higher relative dielectric constant, concurrently the longer relaxation time constant of the rotor surface materials make the motor speed get higher speed. In case of discrete coated rotor surface it is found that the motor speed was increased logarithmically as narrow as width of the discrete coated Ti. And the degree of width of discrete coated Ti to the axial direction of the rotor was 60$^{\circ}$ and 150$^{\circ}$, the motor has got a 125% higher than that at the degree of 0$^{\circ}$.

A PWM inverter with an induction motor often has a problem with a high-frequency leakage current that flows through the distributed electrostatic capacitance from the motor windings to ground. This paper presents an equivalent circuit for high-frequency leakage currents in PWM inverter feeding an induction motor, which forms an LCR series resonant circuit.

A miniature size electrostatic induction motor have been constructed and studied by applying a three phase ac power source with a maximum voltage of 5 KV and a variable frequency ranged 0.0 - 150 Hz. A maximum no load speed of the motor tested was about 7600 RPM at the applied voltage of 4330 volt and the frequency of 130 Hz for the case of the rotor surface material of polyprophylene sheet screen-printed $TiO_2$ powder on it. It is found that there are 3 different regions of the motor operation, a rotor stop region, a stable operation region and a high speed abnormal region. And it is also found that the motor speed is influenced greatly by the charge relaxation time constant of the rotor surface materials, which however was changed by the means of vapour-deposited Ti or Ni and screen-printed $TiO_2$ powder on the surface of the rotor material, polyprophylene.

An induction type small size electrostatic actor has been fabricated and tested using different rotor dielectric sheet type materials and 3 phase ac various frequencies ans volatages. It's maximum no-load speed was about 2800rpm at the applied voltage of 3030V and frequency of 47Hz for the rotor material of polypropylene sheet. The motor speed was increased linearly by increasing with an applied volatage and frequency, and it also influenced greatly by the electrical properties of rotor dielectric material of relative dielectric constant, resistivity and relaxtion time

A miniature size electrostatic induction motor has been fabricated and studied with emphasis on the role of the surface resistivity, the relative dielectric constant and the charge relaxation time constant of the rotor surface materials and the rotor liner materials, which, however, control the surface charge induction and relaxation on the rotor material surface and the field intensity between the rotor and the stator of the motor. It is found that the surface resistivity and/or the relative dielectric constant, and the charge relaxation time constant of the rotor surface material enfluenced significantly to motor speed controlled by the surface charge induction and relaxation on the rotor surface depending on the applied voltage and/or frequency changing. The resistivity of the rotor liner material is also found to be effected to the motor speed greatly by control of the field intensity between the rotor and the stator and of the surface charge distribution of the induced charge on the rotor. As a result, a maximum no load rotor speed of the motor tested was about 5500 rpm at the applied voltage of 4.5 kV and the frequency of 220 Hz for the case of the rotor surface material of $BaTiO_{3}$ 80% in the resin binder layered on the copper-foil rotor liner material.

In the manufacture of liquid crystal display devices, there is a strong demand for contactless glass plate handling devices that can manipulate a glass plate without contaminating or damaging it. To fulfill this requirement, an electrostatic transportation device for glass plates is proposed. This device can directly drive a glass plate and simultaneously provide contactless suspension by electrostatic forces. To accomplish these two functions, a feedback control strategy and the operational principle of an electrostatic induction motor are utilized. The stator possesses electrodes which exert electrostatic forces on the glass plate and are divided into a part responsible for suspension and one for transportation. To accomplish dynamic stability and a relatively fast suspension initiation time, the structure of the electrode for suspension possesses many boundaries over which potential differences are formed. In this paper, an electrode pattern suitable for the suspension of glass plates is described, followed by the structure of the transportation device and its operational principle. Experimental results show that the glass plate has been transported with a speed of approximately 25.6 mm/s while being suspended stably at a gap length of 0.3 mm.

In this paper, a corona motor with blade type electrodes has been employed as a wind blower. The rotation speed was influenced significantly by the polarity of applied voltage and the number of blades. Therefore the effect of polarity of applied voltage and the number of blades on the electrical and mechanical fundamental properties of corona motor were investigated experimentally. The rotation speed decreased for increasing of number of blades, because the mass of blades increased. But the amount of air blow increased despite decreasing of the rotation speed, because air volume is not only influenced by rotation speed but also the number of blades and ionic wind which generated between blade tips and a induction electrode. Although space occupied by blades of the corona motor is smaller than the whole area of the blast pipe, wind rises a whole range of a wind blower for such reasons.
