Abstract
An electrostatic rotating electrical machine employs axially extending electrically conductive pegs (for example, on a stator) interacting with the least one of a comparable set of overlapping axially extending pegs on a rotor or a dielectric sleeve which experiences an induced electrostatic charge electrostatically attracted to the stator pegs. A dielectric sleeve may also encase either one or both of the rotor pegs and stator pegs to provide improved electrostatic field shaping and reduced dielectric fluid usage and mechanical susceptibility.
