Claim 0:
1. An apparatus, comprising:
a rotor stage of an electrostatic machine, the rotor stage comprising:
a rotor plate comprising a plurality of rotor electrodes positioned on a first side of the rotor plate;
at least one rotor via comprising an electrical connection between the first side of the rotor plate and a second side of the rotor plate;
a rotor power distribution board positioned on the second side of the rotor plate, the rotor power distribution board comprising:
at least one rotor power distribution bus on a first side of the rotor power distribution board;
at least one rotor power coupling perforation; and
wherein a second side of the rotor power distribution board faces the second side of the rotor plate; and
a rotor electrical coupling circuit structured to electrically couple the at least one rotor power distribution bus to at least a portion of the plurality of rotor electrodes, wherein the rotor electrical coupling circuit extends through the at least one rotor via and the at least one power coupling perforation; and

a stator stage of the electrostatic machine, the stator stage comprising:
a stator plate comprising a plurality of stator electrodes positioned on a first side of the stator plate;
at least one stator via comprising an electrical connection between the first side of the stator plate and a second side of the stator plate;
a stator power distribution board positioned on the second side of the stator plate, the stator power distribution board comprising:
at least one stator power distribution bus on a first side of the stator power distribution board;
at least one stator power coupling perforation; and
wherein a second side of the stator power distribution board faces the second side of the stator plate; and

a stator electrical coupling circuit structured to electrically couple the at least one stator power distribution bus to at least a portion of the plurality of stator electrodes, wherein the stator electrical coupling circuit extends through the at least one stator via and the at least one stator power coupling perforation.
