A circuit design for efficiently transferring significant levels of electrical power with non-inductive circuit elements. Power is transferred using synchronously-switched capacitive elements in such a way that both discharge from the power source and charge transferred to a load (and/or back to the power supply) are supplied as low duration, high-intensity current pulses. The synchronous power transfer alternates between connecting capacitive charge storage elements in parallel and in series so that both step-up and step-down topologies may be readily realized.

Dielectric energy converter

An electric motor comprises a stator, rotor and powering circuit. A first stator pole is operable to attract a first rotor pole to rotate the rotor when the first stator pole is energized, and a second stator pole is operable to attract a second rotor pole when energized. The circuit comprises a plurality of charge storage devices including a first subset and a second subset which in a first mode of operation is operable to discharge the first subset to both energize the first stator pole and charge the second subset, with the first subset connected in series and the second subset connected in parallel, and in a second mode of operation, the circuit is operable to discharge the second subset to both energize the second stator pole and charge the first subset, with the second subset connected in series and the first subset connected in parallel.
