"Especially useful for our methods might be the
Wimhurst, Wehrsen,
Holtz, or Bonetti machines. I believe these devices
would be able to
deliver more current and therefore greater wattage for
our
application than a Van de Graaff generator."
Not sure about it, but I think that ES motors have a very poor
power/weight ratio, and are probably quite inefficient. Antonio would
know about that. Has anyone calculated the power required to operate a
lifter of useful size?
