Abstract
The electrostatic motor includes an electrostatic actuator () and a pulse generator () for actuating said actuator with sufficient energy to drive the motor, the pulse generator is adapted to determine a pulse voltage level (U) and a shortened pulse duration that is a function of the determined voltage level (U) and the electric energy necessary for driving the motor and a function of parasitic capacitances (C) and the maximum capacitance (C) of the actuator in order to reduce electrostatic losses in the actuator.
