Bit high voltage needed....

Wow, capacitive muscles. A friend of mine invented that in about 1984.
The problem is that it's so very inefficient compared to motors,
unless you recover the 1/2 CV**2 on the return stroke.

A friend of somebody I knew invented a flying sourcer,
he was asking if anybody knew of a good engine for it.

Why harvest picowatts when lithium batteries work so well?

John

Green jobs, of course!

Half a kilowatt-hour to make a picowatt harvester--everyone wins.

Be an interesting complement for those electrostatic sticky-pads.

All it needs is vacuum tubes to switch the voltage!

Hum, is this Kynar again, or have they improved it? Of course kynar
was priced so expensive you couldn't prototype it, I think the sales
department didn't WANT to sell their product.

Somebody do the reading exercise and tell me if its
poled PVDF again, or something better.
