A century after Nikola Tesla sketched a turbine with no blades, researchers are now using that same counterintuitive design ...

A bladeless turbine design converts the static electricity naturally generated by dust particles in compressed air into ...

CONTINUE TO FOLLOW ALL EVENING. NOW LET’S TALK ABOUT TONIGHT MADE IN MASS. A LOCAL COMPANY USING OLD-SCHOOL SCIENCE TO CLEAN WHAT YOU CANNOT SEE. >> HOW THAT IS KEEPING US SAFE. >> TO UNDERSTAND WHAT ...

The spinning steel and plastic components of a combine, insulated from the ground by rubber tires and plastic skid shoes on small grain platforms, have been proven to create a static electric charge ...

People from ancient times knew that rubbing certain materials and then touching something caused a spark. Studying what is called electrostatics laid the groundwork for understanding electricity and ...

Researchers have introduced a contactless electricity generation method using only practical compressed air and ...

Static electricity can be a major nuisance in manufacturing facilities. It can affect the finish/quality of the products being produced, impact the speed of the operation, and cause workers to ...

You might have heard of electrets being used in microphones, but do you know what they are? Electrets produce a semi-permanent static electric field, similar to how a magnet produces a magnetic field.
