FIELD: electricity.
SUBSTANCE: energy of an electric field is converted, which operates between fixed similarly charged bodies and similarly charged movable bodies mechanically connected to each other, into mechanical energy of reciprocal or rotary movement of movable bodies relative to the fixed ones. They are arranged above each other with a gap so that the electric field between the specified interacting bodies is homogeneous to the maximum, and force applied to movable bodies and intensity of this field shall be directed at the sharp angle to direction of their movement.
EFFECT: higher capacity of an electrostatic motor and expansion of its functional capabilities, method is environmentally pure.
