Abstract:
1. An electricity-transport system for transporting electrical energy from an energy-producer device to an energy-consumer device, the system comprising: the energy-producer device having a first active electrode, a first passive electrode, and a generator connected on a first side thereof to the first active electrode and on a second side thereof to the first passive electrode; and the energy-consumer device having a second active electrode, a second passive electrode, and a load connected on a first side thereof to said second active electrode and on a second side thereof to said second passive electrode; wherein the second active electrode interacts with the first active electrode by a Coulomb interaction, forming a direct capacitive coupling between the first active electrode and the second active electrode; the first passive electrode is coupled to the second passive electrode of the energy-consumer device by capacitive coupling; at least one of the passive electrodes is not connected to a ground potential; and the first active electrode and first passive electrode are asymmetrical, the first passive electrode being either larger in size than the first active electrode or a ground, and an electric field produced between the first passive electrode and the second passive electrode is weaker than an electric field produced between the first active electrode and the second active electrode.
