Abstract
This paper describes the general design considerations and analysis for an industrial size electro-static (ES) motor/generator. The operation fundamentals, combined with FE (Finite Element) analysis are discussed with the target operation in the outer space or vacuumed environment. The torque production and limitations with high voltage electric field are analyzed and compared with conventional frame size electric machines.
