A switched capacitive device includes a stationary portion including a plurality of first electrodes extending at least partially in a longitudinal dimension. Each first electrode has a first substantially active electrode volume. The device also includes a translatable portion including a plurality of second electrodes proximate the plurality of first electrodes. Each second electrode has a second substantially active electrode volume. The first active electrode volume is greater than the second active electrode volume. The second electrodes are translatable with respect to the first electrodes. The second electrodes extend at least partially in the longitudinal dimension. The first electrodes are configured to induce substantially linear motion of the second electrodes in the longitudinal dimension through the use of an electric field induced by at least a portion of the first electrodes.

According to various embodiments, a synchronous reluctance machine is disclosed. The synchronous reluctance machine includes a stator, a synchronous reluctance rotor disposed within the stator and configured to rotate relative to the stator, and a non-magnetic sleeve disposed circumferentially around the rotor, where sleeve thickness is between about 1 mm and 2 mm and an air-gap radius is between about 80 mm and 100 mm.
